President Obama's State of the Union Address 2011

I don't know if you're being serious or if you're mocking my post but let me address both.

Teleprompters are a necessity for any public speaker, especially one addressing as much as Barack had to last night. Even if you can memorize a speech, it's there for you to fall back on and glance at if necessary. There is no issue with having and glancing at a teleprompter. However, as a public speaker, you need to make eye contact with people, or at least appear as if you're speaking to them, which is where the Tea Party speaker failed completely. There was not a single word of her speech that was spoken without looking at the teleprompter and that's what made it pretty funny. Even when she was addressing pictures or charts, her head never swiveled away from the teleprompter while she was speaking. She looked at the picture of the WWII soldiers at one point but she completely stopped speaking in order to do it.

She's not a good public speaker.

There was nothing wrong with what Barack did, or what that Paul Ryan dude did.
