The last one was in July '09. Even the press that has rolled over for
him is getting restless. He also rarely answers questions when there
are impromptu times. He must really feel uncomfortable without the
teleprompter.

Nah...It is just the transparency that he promised but never delivered. It
is time the mainstream media woke up and ended the love affair they have had
with him since day one.
His constant use of the teleprompter is okay but Sarah Palin writes a few
notes on her hand and there is this huge uproar!
Big day coming tomorrow with all the elections being held in different
states.

Could cup his ear and pretend not to hear because of the helicopter I
suppose :-)

Yes, that is why he spent an hour taking questions
from his toughest critics at the GOP Congressional
Retreat- without a teleprompter - and doing so well
that Fox News cancelled their coverage of it before
it was over, just a few months ago.

Once. Frankly I think they were far too easy on him there.

Remember that this was supposed to be the most open and transparent
one in history? Whatever happened to that promise? i guess they
figured that the fools who believed it wouldn't remember.

The problem is that there are still those who are so infatuated with him
that they believe his lies. How many lies and broken promises does he have
to tell and make before they see through him? It took him 17 minutes to
answer a woman whose question was would raising taxes make it even more
difficult with the economy being so bad...He talked all that while and never
answered the question nor made any sense...he was so off tangent that no one
knew what his answer even meant.
Last night's primary elections were good but I can't wait until November!
