MSNBC: 'The President Had No Teleprompter Last Night' Daniel Halper October 4, 2012 7:38 AM

MSNBC hosts wondered whether President Obama lost last night's debate to Mitt Romney because he was unable to use a Teleprompter:

"There's another element here that perhaps should be under discussion: The president had no Teleprompter last night," said MSNBC host Mike Barnicle. "He speaks almost all the time off of a Teleprompter. Forced now to stand on his feet after years in the bubble, getting pushed back a little, he didn't do too well. He didn't do too well."

"Alright, even Bill Maher had to point that this was a rough one for the president, he tweeted this: 'i can't believe i'm saying this, but Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter,'" another host, Mika Brzezinski, added.

"The president had no Teleprompter last night..."

To appear the agreeable, unifying and "post-racial" moderate - without a teleprompter - Obama must defensively constrain his real self and guard against the mask slipping and revealing the angry, divisive and race baiting radical seen in his recently exposed 2006 Hampton speech video.

Give Obama a second term and he'll never appear "defensive" again!

Well, well, well.

The MSM realize that Mr. Obama is sitting in that empty chair...wearing an empty suit.

Boo-Hoo.

What? The President Had No Teleprompter? Just another example of how “whitey” is holding the Black Man down!

Someone call Jessie or Al.

Remember how Douglas’ teleprompter broke right in the middle of his debate with Lincoln?

The air is escaping the soufflé it sounds like.

I guess next debate Zero´s team will not use an empty chair but good old TOTUS.

There was some buzz that he was cheating by looking at his Blackberry (Hey, Valerie, how do I handle THIS one?)

If that was the best he could do while cheating then he truly is a putz.

I suspect that the next debate gets canceled because he is “too busy performing his duties as Commander in Chief” as we bomb aspirin factories in Libya.

I think Obama blew this debate off and wasn’t prepared. He thought he would dazzle everyone with his usual BNS and he failed. Rommnet kicked his a$$.

It was easy for obammy in 2008 when he could speak extemporaneously on how he would save everything and GW was the devil. Now he has a 3.5 yr undefendable record to defend. Ain’t so easy.

The MSM needs to apoligie to....tatata...Clint Eastwood, since Clint said, after his appearance at the RNC, that Obama is the biggest hoax perpetrated upon our country!

If not for anger and hatred he wouldn’t have nothing to offer.

"The MSM realize that Mr. Obama is sitting in that empty chair...wearing an empty suit."

While the empty chair is an effective image for defeating Obama, give him a second term - where he does not have to hesitate on every response to constrain his real angry, divisive and race-baiting real self - and we'll all wish that chair was really empty and that the suit filed by America's Chavez/Castro was really empty and not filled by a committed anti-American leftwing radical.
