No teleprompter = Connecting with the American people.

I am so sick of Obama's tennis-spectator avoidance of looking the American people in the eye.

Trump's ability to think on his feet is such a refreshing change, instead of the Obama methodology of prevaricating and postponing and deflecting and then relying on spokescritters to explain what he really meant.

It's why we also find British politicians sounding so smart! They can manage to string together a pile of their own words to give a motivating speech. We are so starved of that, we tend to think it's some sort of magic brilliance!

We listen to a speech from Obama and we are really hearing scripted words from John Favreau and other speech writers which have been peer reviewed, and canned.
