He may or may not have been able to keep up with the kids and their tough questions without it.

For someone who gets moist over a few scribbles in Palin's palms you sure are quick to defend Obama for something he does everyday.
See now here's the problem... you only pay attention to half of the post.

First off, Obama is no hero of mine but like I've said in the past, you'd have a problem with the way he wipes his ass if there was a news story about it.

Second, the few scribbles in Palin's palm isn't what's pathetic about her. Initially, it's the amusement of her having to write crib notes on her hand like a 8th grader taking a math test. Then there's the fact that she criticizes Obama's use of a teleprompter while she has to reference talking points on her hand like "Economy. Cut Tax. Lift American Spirits."

It's a fine demonstration of how she's being used as a figurehead and has no business no the national stage.

Then there's the pathetic aspect of the Conservatives criticizing Obama's use of a teleprompter. I'm willing to bet that just about every speech Bush made, he used note cards or a teleprompter.

Quite frankly, I think harping on the topic is juvenile. You guys act like there's a wizard behind the curtain giving Obama orders via a prompter. There are far more critical issues to contest than him referencing words from a screen.
