Hat Tip Obama Nation.
Obama without his teleprompter or his written speech is unable to function extemporaneously on his feet.
As reported by Rush:
Obama Gets Lost Without Speech

(Rush Limbaugh) RUSH: This afternoon on CNNs Newsroom, this is after Obamas remarks. In fact, Mike, before that, grab 25. I told you this happened, but I want you to actually hear it. This is the opening of Obamas presser or wh**ever it was. I guess this is San Jose, it says. He walked to the podium
Well, here. You listen.
OBAMA: Theres only one problem, and that is that my remarks are not sitting here.
FAX BLAST SPECIAL: Impeach Obama NOW!
FOLLOWERS: (guffawing)
OBAMA: People! Yknow, things by by on by Friday, uh, afternoon, things get a little, uh a little challenged. Uh
Im gonna have a, uh, uh, uh
Im gonna answer a question, ummm, at the end of the remarks, but I want to make sure, um, that we get the remarks up. People! Oh, goodness.
FOLLOWERS: (laughing)
LACKEY: (sound of a pratfall)
OBAMA: Oh! Somebodys trippin!
FOLLOWERS: (laughing)
OBAMA: I mean
Folks are folks are sweating back there right now.
FOLLOWERS: (laughing)
RUSH: He didnt know what to do. He didnt know what to do! He didnt have a prompter and he didnt have his speech in front of him. He didnt know what to do. Do you realize how many people make speeches with no notes whatsoever? All you have to do is know what youre talking about. All you have to do is know your subject. All you have to do is know what it is youre gonna say. Why cant you just go out and speak extemporaneously?
Because you might make a mistake.
The reason everything is scripted is to make sure Obama doesnt become Obama, is to make sure Obama stays inside of himself, to make sure that Obama doesnt default to Saul Alinsky up on that pedestal. Thats why if it isnt written down, hes not gonna say it. Theyre not gonna take that chance. So thats what happens when its not there. Hes totally lost.
