Obama uses worker buried in campaign t-shirt as a prop

Huh? That's, er, surreal...

The thing about this is, he was coming out with good points and he was speaking very powerfully and eloquently until he came to talk about the woman who died.

Almost immediately after bringing up the note he shrank, his points had less impact and he started umming and ahhing, as though he was fully aware of using the woman as prop was very selfish.

If he hadn't have brought her up I would have said good speech, but I agree halogamer, this is bad and I think Obama knew that.

To be honest, I'm wandering if his spin doctor put him up to it. I guess we don't know.

No he just read it off the teleprompter as he always does and always will do until Jan 2013 at least.  His entire presidency is scripted talking points.  That reminds me that today would have been the 99th bday of Reagan.  He would put Obummer to shame.

That doesn't really address my point, I asked if he came up with the idea to use her as a prop, or if it was a spin doctor. Whether he read it off a teleprompter or not is unimportant, the vast majority of politicians have scripted speeches.
