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.

I think Obama blew this debate off and wasn’t prepared.

He was prepared, or at least he thought he was. He started off by repeating the lies he's spouting in all of his TV ads...the differemce was that last night, instead of just me yelling at the TV, he actually had Mitt call him out and dispute every false claim that he tried to put out there.

He was there to defend the indefensible and Mitt did not let him tap dance his way out of it!

Happy thought:

Obama cannot ‘learn’ how to speak without TOTUS before the upcoming debates.

He will fare no better as his whole aura was media created. Off TOTUS he is quite possibly retarded. I have seen no evidence proving oe even hinting at him being remotely good at anything, much less competent. And he CANNOT speal worth a crap without a script to go by.

TOTUS is Indispensible to the POTUS....without it he’s just an EMPTY CHAIR.

You can't prepare to handle truth, when your entire life has been a lie.

Took him this long to figure that out? Wow, people are starting to wake up and shake off the effects of the kool-aid.

I have a great picture of a valet chair with a suit hanging on it, but I can’t remember how to post pictures.

We haven”t had an articulate candidate for so long, we forgot what it looked like. We are reenergized this morning and ready to take this election without hesitation. Let’s ROLL!

Obama has been too busy taking vacations, playing golf, hobnobbing with Hollywood liberals, and being “eye candy” on talk show couches to bother himself with concern for the middle class and the poor. It was VERY obvious last night that he had no plan for the future other than more of the same destructive policies.

Local Fox station saying Romney had a clear advantage but that it was basically a wash.

He was at Hoover Dam while Romney was prepping. It showed!

I will vote for Mitt, but had other ideals! Oh well, better Mittens than Bammie and Moose...

Well gosh. Those three days of debate prepping in Vegas that were such a drag don’t seem to have paid off.

Good thing he has memories of playing hooky with that pizza run for his campaign worker, getting adulation from the field hands.

“Massa, massa, you da one, yo da man!”

The consequence of short attention span theater comin’ home to roost!
