News: Sarah Palin

I really don't see any issue here at all. President Obama creates carefully worded speeches that go on forever, with every word apparently shown on the teleprompter. You can tell this, because whenever the teleprompter is NOT available, he stumbles all over himself. Sarah Palin had a prepared speech. I saw her look down at it many times. However, she didn't READ it. She referred to it. It may have just been some notes, just like any prepared speaker. What was on her hand? Four or five words? My guess is that they were some last minute thoughts she had that she wanted to remember while speaking. Something NOT contained in her notes. And that is the real crux of the matter. The President can't speak clearly without reading the whole thing from his teleprompter. There have been several times where the wrong word made its way onto the teleprompter, and he wasn't even paying attention to what he was saying, just read it straight off the prompter. Sarah Palin gave a speech, knowing what she was saying, speaking, not reading. I don't know if she wrote her own speech, perhaps she had someone else help her put it into words. Obama almost certainly doesn't write his own speeches, just like most presidents before him. But Sarah knew what her speech was about, and knew enough to be able to add notes, on her hand, to make her points. [See Similar Topics]
