Line 10: − − President [[Barack Obama]] has had difficulty speaking without the assistance of a teleprompter, making frequent bloopers and saying embarrassing things.<ref>http://www.teleprompterobama.com/</ref>
Specifically, President Obama is essentially unable to give a coherent speech or run a press conference unless he can read from a teleprompter. As Vice President Biden
A '''teleprompter''' is an [[electronic]] imaging system that enables speakers and newscasters to look into the [[television]] camera (or at a live audience) and read the text of prepared remarks without the viewers realizing it. It operates like a one-way mirror, with the reflection of text scrolling on the screen for the speaker and the viewers seeing through the text like a [[transparent]] mirror.

Another advantage of the telemprompter is that it serves as a reminder of the pronounciation of names and places. This has been used by President George W. Bush for names such as French President Nicolas Sarkozy (sar-KO-zee) and Zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe (moo-GAH-bee), as well as countries such as Kyrgyzstan (KEYR-geez-stan). <ref>http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/weird/jorj-booshs-fo-ne-tik-promt/story-e6frev20-1111114505516/</ref>
