There's no difference between using a teleprompter and using cue cards. There's much to complain about in terms of policy, etc......the teleprompter debate is silly.

> How do you feel about Reagan's cue cards?

There is a big difference in using "cue cards" to make sure all the points are covered in major speeches, versus requiring a teleprompter at a news conference.


Yes, huge.....about the width of a pen. Cue cards are what were used before teleprompters became popular. In any case, its not a significant point and doesn't change the fact that Obama is a great orator.
