So far, I’ve heard three speakers at CPAC, plus various introducers and emcees. Let’s just say that teleprompter-related jokes are already getting old.
I get the desire to make fun of Barack Obama. Really, I do. It’s what one does at a convention of an opposition political movement. Especially one where the audience skews young.
But, gee whiz, the fact that he gives speeches using a teleprompter is hardly particularly noteworthy, let alone funny. Ronald Reagan was called “The Great Communicator” and used a teleprompter without shame. It’s just how modern public speakers refer to notes.
