These days, almost all politicians and other such public speakers use telepromptrs. As such folk go, Obama is well above average in his ability to talk (or write) on his own. ENORMOUSLY better than the last guy we had in there.
But, the conservative wing nuts have, among their followers, made it a standing joke that Obama uses one, and so any mention of telepromptrs creates a laugh among those people. What can they be thinking while they laugh? Answer: they’re not particularly thinking at all; after all, if they did think, they wouldn’t be Republicans, would they?
