Teleprompters

Michael Gerson Defends Obama??

It seems a bit odd, that President George W. Bush's former speechwriter would use his column to defend President Obama's use of the teleprompter. But it's not if we accept the fact that Gerson writes primarily to defend the concept that prepared remarks are no less authentic than an off the cuff response. After all, Gerson made his career carefully crafting ideas for Republican politicians. Regardless, this is a good article about "the importance of writing to the process of thought" and governing.

Also, speaking as a former Rhetoric major, I'm a bit sick of hearing "rhetoric" used interchangeably with "bullshit." I'm glad someone else feels the same. (even if it's a Republican)
