Karma, Meet Marco Rubio
One of the dumbest GOP criticisms of President Obama is his use of a teleprompter. If you were to believe the GOP, you'd think President Obama was the first politician to use teleprompters. Even if he does rely on teleprompters when giving a speech, is it any worse than reading a speech that's on paper or index cards?!
One of the main critics of President Obama's teleprompter use is Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). In the clip below, Sam Seder (host of the Majority Report) talks about Rubio's teleprompter cracks directed at the president and Rubio's mishap during a speech he gave on foreign policy at Brookings Institution on Wednesday.
Brings to mind Sarah Palin railing on the same issue -- Obama reading from a telepromter -- while she had cheat-sheet notes scribbled on her hands. These folks truly have no shame: check out this post on how they conspired to undermine President Obama on the night of his inauguration -- http://harveysglobalpolitics.blogspot.com/2012/04/2009-inauguration-of-obama-night-gop.html
In addition to being hypocritical, Sarah came off as childish in trying to hide the fact that she wrote on her hand. I'll be checking out your post today... thanks for the heads up.
