Mondale To Obama: Teleprompters Are ‘Idiot Boards’
Washington Examiner
Walter Mondale says Obama needs to stop using “idiot boards” when reading speeches, because he says it makes him “lose the connection that he needs emotionally with American voters.”
Former Vice President Walter Mondale said on CNN that President Obama relies too much on teleprompters — which Mondale called “idiot boards” — when speaking to the American people.
In a discussion of whether Obama projects empathy in his speeches, the 82 year-old Mondale said the president “has got to connect with the American people.” When CNN host Wolf Blitzer asked why Obama has not shown more empathy, Mondale answered, “I’ve seen places where he’s done it. The Milwaukee speech, I thought was terrific. I think some of these backyard events are terrific. But I think he — he’s very bright — as a matter of fact, brilliant. And I think he tends to — and he uses these idiot boards to read speeches on television and I think he loses the connection that he needs emotionally with American voters.”

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Um, Walter? Have you heard what he sounds like *without* the reading training wheels?
He cannot develop ’empathy’ with the American People because he is against everything they stand for. Only when he is speaking to fellow Left wing nuts, is he comfortable.
Obama without his teleprompter…………..LOL
