Will TOTUS get unemployment insurance?

As with everything, Obama is a little slow. Three-and-a-half years after the so-called "great orator" has been made fun of for his dependence upon his trusty teleprompter, Obama is going to hand notes. I, for one, can't wait for Obama to go off script because he often reveals how he truly feels. Take for instance his latest bumble where the President told business owners their hard work and sacrifice didn't make them successful...the government did. Let the gaffes begin. From The Hill: President Obama is weaning himself off his teleprompter. At recent campaign events in Pennsylvania, Virginia and again Monday in Ohio, Obama spoke to crowds in high school gymnasiums and at crowded outdoor events without his teleprompter, instead using written notes. No mention of his gaffes. Obama told people who passed out due to heat exhaustion to seek medical help from "paralegals" instead of paramedics. What a gem that is.

Team Obama thinks the switch, or partial switch — the president is not giving up the teleprompter entirely — will help him better connect with voters. Critics have mocked Obama's routine use of the teleprompter, including in speeches to schoolchildren.

A senior administration official acknowledged the shift in the president's style, saying Obama is speaking "more extemporaneously." I've given many speeches and never once had to use a teleprompter but to use one in front of school children is ridiculous from a Harvard graduate who the left anointed as a great orator, right up there with Lincoln. But the senior official said the lack of teleprompters has "less to do with image and more to do with upping the tempo" at campaign events, while creating more unscripted moments. I love Obama's unscripted moments. Here's a few:
