A
much repeated observation about Barry the Wonderful, outside of the
cult, of course, is he can't recite the alphabet without help from a
teleprompter. Sort of like Ron Burgundy (above). It's become a real problem, and it's been noticed by the campaign.

According to several Democrat political consultants presumptive
Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama spent part of his Hawaiian
vacation working on weaning himself from a heavy dependence on
teleprompters. Even in what are staged as "town hall" events for Obama,
remarks are scripted or formatted into bullet points that scroll on
teleprompter screens. Obama has had several embarrassing events where
the teleprompter either malfunctioned or the screens were not fully
visible.
"He just locks down and can't get the words out," says one political
consultant. "For such a fine speaker, it's really quite remarkable that
he's had issues." [Prowler]

To
further demonstrate, here's a audio cap I took from Rush the other
day. A compilation of uhs&duhs from Obama's spontaneous
speechifying. There are no duplicates.
