That sure was a "heck of a" speech Palin gave without the teleprompter. I love Reagan's inspiring teleprompter free speeches, or Bush, or W, or McCain etc. I listened to Rush today and he was going off on this teleprompter issue. I am curious as to why it did not bother him for eight years under Bush? Or is it yet another pointless thing to get the masses upset about? God knows we would not want to talk about the economic record of the Bush Presidency, no, no, let's talk about politicians using teleprompters!

First, I think most people s...Gar, I totally agree. <BR/><BR/>First, I think most people should just get a spine, toughen up and stop worrying about ever little comment that people make. I have heard of so many demands for apologies by people that it drives me crazy. Of course most people DON'T really care, they are jockeying for position trying to appear morally superior by feigning moral outrage about every little slip and so on. It drives me crazy. I think this is one of the main reasons President Bush always sounded like he didn't know what he was talking about. I heard him speak five years before he was elected and he was coherent, quick, on point, etc. Once he hit the national scene he seemed terrified to give the opposition a sound bite and just stuttered for eight years. <BR/><BR/>Second, I would love to see one politician (on either side) not cave to the demands to apologize every time. Sure if you say something stupid, own it and apologize. But, when you mean something mean it. When you think people are being overly sensitive, say so. If they hate you for it - then that's their problem. <BR/><BR/>And, finally, puhleeez - people need to stop demanding resignations for every dumb thing said. HOw many of us would have jobs if that was the universal standard? I say more dumb things before 10 am than most presidents say in eight years. :)Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17011735592601927664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219122992201730028.post-36579816161591315162009-03-20T09:29:00.000-07:002009-03-20T09:29:00.000-07:00Dang, if there only would have been a teleprompter...Dang, if there only would have been a teleprompter this comment would not have been made. The following is my opinion only and not meant to start a 49 post blogathon. I would think a President has a heck of alot more to do (particularly with the economy tanking) than appearing on Leno!! I would feel the same way if it was a Republican President! I want my President working on problems not working on laugh lines. I also thought it was stupid when McCain and Obama made the late night rounds during the campaign.
