There's an interesting editorial in the Washington Times today -- about President Obama's love of the teleprompter. The Times goes so far as to say "... we would like to have a President who occasionally comes across as more than a TV anchor reading a script." (For the record: I strive to occasionally come across that way as well.)

The editorial suggests many Americans may not realize he rarely makes public remarks without his prompter. Even in question and answer sessions, the prompter is sometimes used to remind the President of key facts and figures. The Times goes on to say you can easily imagine the Saturday Night Live skit where "a technician with a canned set of answers" cues up the wrong one.
