This is already being discussed in another thread, and the difference in this and Obama's verbal gaffe is that Obama's gaffe came out of his own mouth.

The gaffe above was from some tech nerd hired by a Romney group and having nothing to do with Romney personally.

Up to speed?

Same thing... Obama reads a teleprompter, where someone wrote the words for him.

Got it???

You're saying he doesn't know what he's going to say until it's in front of him at an event?

He's a blank slate waiting for words to be put in his mouth?

You really want to make that argument?

Surely Obama's use of a teleprompter is covered in Kein's book, The Amateur. What's the book say?

What, nobody has spent the money to actually buy this book? Hmmm?

Cannot say that I have read it. Got through a few chapters of Ann Coulter's Demonic but that's probably my quota of Republican reading for a few weeks.

The Poles made a big issue out of this and so they should. Not sure it would be a very sore subject for anyone else but those who suffer from being associated with the Nazi regime in Poland.

I had a German professor who really took issue when I wanted to translate Mein Kampf into English. Mein Kampf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mein_Kampf) He was a US citizen in love with the German language. I changed my pick of translations though because my German professor was so sensitive about my pick of what I was translating. I was a History/Philosophy double major and saw Hitler's book as perhaps giving an important insight on how Hitler manipulated the German people into following him.

What does Klein's book have to do with this subject we're discussing?

You can't reason this out?

I was just suggesting that Klein might have made some observations on the POTUS' use of telepromters in his book.

By the way, I don't buy that idea for a minute.

OK, but it was Memason, and not Posh and I, who thought they hand trucked Obama up to the podium, and then he just regurgitated whatever was prepared on a tele-prompter without any prior knowledge of what he was going to say.

Or at least, that's the essence of his argument.

Memason, and some other Obama sycophants, are trying to provide some "balance" for Obama's stupid unthinking phrasing of "Polish Death Camps", by comparing that with some tech nerd working for some Romney group who released a post with "America" misspelled.

That's what this is all about, and really has nothing to do with the tele-prompter, unless Memason's scenario has validity, and Obama really has no idea what on that thing before he speaks.
