MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews while admitting his unwavering support for Obama took the president to task for his continued use of a teleprompter.
“I really support the President on a lot of his views, in fact all of them almost,” Matthews complained, “but I got to tell you something, Michael, if he doesn’t get rid of that damn Teleprompter, it’s like an eye test. He’s just reading words now. It’s separating him from us.”
“You got to a meeting with him I’m told, if businessmen are invited to meet him at the White House, he hauls out the damn Teleprompter and he reads to them. Well, why even bring people into the room? Just have the damn Teleprompter. I sense it’s getting between him and us. And I thought that speech last night was a terrible, well, a great example rather of him using the Teleprompter instead of his heart and his mind.”

I guess Matthews has been in denial not just for the last 20 plus months Obama has been in office but also during the time he campaigned for president, because the teleprompter has been like his mistress except that it has been in full public view. He’s addicted to it and can’t let go.
What Matthews is saying though is fraught with risks for Obama as virtually every time he has spoken without one loses that cool smooth speaking demeanor that he has when is “just reading words” as Matthews so succinctly put it.
For liberals like Matthews who were so “thrilled” when Obama was elected the teleprompter which was such an integral part of the Obama persona has now become an albatross around his neck and could be one of many reasons that the president will face a tough re-election in 2012.

Chris Matthews is showing the same compassion for Hussian Obama that he showed for President Bush.
Matthews proves by his unwavering support that he is just as stupid as Obama for buying Obama’s drivel. Matthews continues to believe what the ignorant socialists in the Democratic Party tells him. He is the ultimate lemming with no mind of his own.
Should we be surprised?
Open your eyes blind sheep.
We’ve seen his off the cuff remarks, his knee-jerk racism in the police-professor incident in Cambridge, and his ice-cream parlor rabble-rousing concerning Arizona: Stick to the monitor, Mr. Pres.
It is only 2 and half more years. Cheer up.
With Obama’s obvious addiction to the telepromper and his limited edperience in leadership and managerial background should we not be asking the question; Just who is doing the prompting?
With Halloween and Election Day separated by one day, one has to ask, “Which is scarier?”
Perhaps he will get an “ear bug” to prompt him secretly. The man is more than just an empty suit. He’s a puppet.
Chris Matthews?
Wasn’t he on television?
In my opinion,,,anyone who has to use a teleprompter 99.9% of the time,is being TOLD what to say by the MARXISTS that got him elected (by fraud)& I believe that BHO is NOT allow to stray from THEIR game plan. Only Pinocchio
was allowed to break his PUPPET MASTERS strings & become real.I believe that BHO has his puppet strings tangled up in the teleprompters motor drive
because when he tries to be flippant,,he stutters & stammers & his humor becomes racial & very un-funny.
Has anyone out there ever listened to BHO’s Sept of 2007 speech to the SEIU??? The more he adlibs or reads from notes,,his accent changes.
I’m not kidding. Look it up & listen. Close your eyes ,,,,It sounds like some dude auditioning for “Amos & Andy” & I do NOT care what Al Sharpton says about it.
In the case of Chris Matthews,,to paraphrase B.B.King,,”The Thrill is gone,,the thrill is gone down my leg,,baby”
Remember,,,Primary Day,,,then,,,Election Day!!!
NOT RACIST,,,NOT VIOLENT,,,just NOT SILENT!!!!
“using the Teleprompter instead of his heart & his mind” Heart? Mind? Matthews assumes too much.
