→Historical use of Teleprompters: add media source as collaboration for statement
==Historical use of Teleprompters==
==Historical use of Teleprompters==
No major American politician has ever relied as much on a teleprompter as Obama does. Former President [[Herbert Hoover]] at a [[Republican]] national convention was the first to use the technology at a major event (a Republican National Convention), but he candidly let the audience in on the secret by telling the teleprompter needed to restart the scrolling of the text after he paused to improvise. Republican Presidents almost never used teleprompters at press conferences, as Obama frequently does.

One advantage for uninformed politicians is how a teleprompter can spell out the phonetic sounds of names and places. This was occasionally 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>
