"Is this because he uses the teleprompter at a presser?"

"I don’t have TV but on the radio the inflections in his voice sound rather robotic..."

I don't think he uses the teleprompter at a presser. I think he has reporters submit questions ahead of time and then reviews those questions. He then notes the reporters names of the questions he thinks he can answer and calls on them only. He still has a hard time remembering exactly how to answer them and that is why he sounds rather robotic IMO. Have you noticed there is never anything of substance in those pressers?

I don't know what movie you are referring to. Please clue me in.

If it were Nixon, it would be called the “Enemies’ List.” Daniel Schorr made a long career of whining about it.

I don’t think it is an accident that one of his brother’s is in the film business in Hollywood, either.

First Obama used a teleprompter at his first WH presser. Obama then went to a very large video screen directly in front of the podium. Now Obama has, his master, the teleprompter built into the podium.

This is the reasons you saw Obama look down a lot at his podium during the latest press conference.

The movie was AI —Artificial Intelligence- a robot that was human like in that it could experience emotions.

The expressions on the press corps faces was truly pathetic during the conference. They all just look at BO like he’s the most beautiful woman they have ever seen. They laugh too hard at his lame jokes and drool over him like sick puppies.
