Perhaps Obama's security people don't feel it's a wise thing for him to do. |
I didn't much like that either. I like what McCain is doing. Mike Huckabee did it too. Too often campaigns are too staged. I think the reason Obama doesn't do it is because he doesn't do well without a teleprompter.

I think the form of the video is disrespectful, but it shows what happens when Obama doesn't have his cue cards. There was one speech that Limbaugh played where he stuttered clear through the commercial break for a full ten minutes of rambling stutters.
