Anyone notice the difficulty people at the RNC have with using a teleprompter?

RNC
mr_cj_jr asked:


I guess they’d feel more comfortable doing it the old fashioned way…reading it from index cards.

I know this is newer technology, but why do you think the RNC speakers are having trouble with using a teleprompter? Is it because they actually have to LOOK at the people while speaking to them?

Thoughts?

I think you are watching reruns of the 1968 convention.

They used one, but it was having problems.

Imagine what would have happened if this happened to Obama. He would just stare into the camera and smile until the intelligent words came back up.

Mr OBama’s use of the teleprompter is like an umbilical cord. When it isn’t working neither is his speech.

You use a teleprompter, and see what happens when it scrolls right past half of your speech.

A few times the speakers had to stop for the noise of the crowd and the teleprompter keep going.

Actually, while using a teleprompter, you have to look above the audience. Unfortunately, Obama has much more experience having his nose above others.

It’s because they don’t usually use them, which should be refreshing.

Some speakers prefer to speak from notes on cards rather than read line for line on a prompter. It sounds more natural that way and is actually quite difficult to do. That’s why only the Republicans can do it.

I noticed no problems.

It is funny when the reporter’s teleprompters go down however.

Hmm, is it possible the technician working the teleprompter was actually a saboteur when he continued the text as Sarah waited for the applause to subside.

Looks like she didn’t need the teleprompter as she wasn’t flustered and continued on.

I have noticed that,it shows that the democrats are better speakers,in my mind obama is a much better speaker than Mcane,but i think the republicans will win,because Mcane chose a woman for vice president!

They have difficulty with everything. They pray for bad weather on Obama’s convention & his ends up spectacular. There is a mess. They are always filled with drama. Angry outburst, crashes, held captive, 911, financial ruins, people losing jobs, 7000 a day every day losing there homes, etc. Yet they end up with lots of money for themselves. Do they care if they do a good job for us? Iraq has a surplus of billions we have a deficit of billions….one day McCain needed to remember 1 line & needed a card to read it.

Here is your boy (Barack) speaking without notes:

“Aaagh, ummmm, uhhhhh, aaagh……etc”

Yes, I noticed that. I also noticed the difficulty they had with telling the truth. And another thing, They are such a stodgy group they are so low key and bored, I fell asleep on them. There is no true joy there. I could definitely see that the qualities they espouse mean nothing.

Yes, the TP had issues. Unlike Obama she was able to deliver her speech without it

This is the best nit pick you can come up with? Some one said Democrats were better speakers,guess what ****** was so good he mesmerized the German people and Stalin talked over a hundred million to their Gulags and graves.

I would prefer index cards that I wrote out myself and could feel in my hands

technology is not infallible;

I appreciate intelligent, substantial oratory, but I’d rather see that as a manifestation of other qualities, not as an end in itself

I love it when they break the word in half or hypenate it…and they pronounce it like two words……………until they do that mental head slap, and realize it’s one big word!

Welcome to the Nat ional ……(???) GOP convention!!!

(psssssssstttttttt—-what does “ional” mean? ”

It’s “NATIONAL” you FOOL!!!!!!!

Christ, who picked this dame?!?!?!?

I noticed that Barak Obama can’t even answer a question without one. You know the guy who said Bill Aryes is just a guy in his neighborhood. Just the guy who pays him. Just the guy he went to for support launching his political career the SDS weather underground member who bombed the capitol, the pentagon and private residences. The guy who is a declared enemy of the United States.
