The Onion makes fun of Obama’s reliance on a teleprompter:
Obama’s Home Teleprompter Malfunctions During Family Dinner
Though I’m no longer all that amused by his complete lack of ability to speak without someone feeding him his lines. After watching him read his Ft. Hood memorial speech from a teleprompter, I was more disgusted than amused.

Sure glad you identified this report as being from the Onion.
I would have found it believable, without the source.
I dont understand the teleprompter joke.
I once posted a few photos of Reagan using one on the Fox message boards, and everyone told me they were Photoshopped.
HAHA!
You understand fully.
There is no Øbama as POTUS without Øbama’s TOTUS.
There was no Reagan without a teleprompter.
Keep on believing that, dingus.
Your boy B-HØ would have to stand on top of all the liberals in the world just to kiss Reagan’s ass.
The job growth under the Reagan administration was an average of 2.1% per year, which is in the middle of the pack of twentieth-century Presidents.[citation needed] Comparing the recovery from the 1981-82 recession (1983-1990) with the years between 1971 (end of a recession) and 1980 shows that the rate of growth of real GDP per capita averaged 2.77 under Reagan and 2.50% under Nixon, Ford and Carter. However, the unemployment rate averaged higher under Reagan (6.75% vs. 6.35%), average productivity growth was slower under Reagan (1.38% vs. 1.92%) and private investment as a percentage of GDP also averaged lower under Reagan (16.08% vs. 16.86%). Furthermore, real wages declined during the Reagan Presidency.[33] What makes this comparison so significant is that between 1971 and 1980 the economy suffered a severe recession in 1975 whereas during the Reagan recovery there was no such interruption.[34]
Copy/paste without attribution is an indication that the poster is struggling, and that the source is dubious.
Where’d you come up with that rule?
I simply went to Wikipedia and searched Reagan.
It’s there for the world to see.
Wiki, hunh?
I wouldn’t call that an unimpeachable source.
Here’s a different perspective.
Rewriting The Reagan Years.
How Reagan’s Tax Cuts Saved Clinton and Gore.
The top tax rate was 70% when Reagan took office, and he was able to cut it to 35%.

Contrast that with the fact that the Total Public Debt under B-HØ has climbed to over twelve trillion dollars, which is triple what it was when he took office.
Further, he lied about job creation, and the current unemployment rate of 10.2% is nearly double the rate from the Bush years.
While the current pretender to the office of president came to office during an economic decline, his lack of leadership and fecklessness has exacerbated the problems.
HAHAHAHAHA!
“For starters, let’s remember what things were like when Reagan took over”
And yet, how often do we hear, “You cant blame Bush now!”
Here we are, 30 YEARS LATER, blaming the previous administrations.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Well, you can’t blame Bush now.
B-HØ is kicking this economy and country down the hill as fast as he can.
So we are in agreement.
All presidents have been sh*theads.
I don’t agree with that, at all.
50% of the country thinks Reagan was a sh*thead.
50% of the country thinks Obama is a sh*thead.
They are similar in that regard, as well as growing the deficit and lowering our real wages.
You are an anti-American piece of sh*t. An Obama supporter of the first order and you should be ashamed of yourself.
You have more than us and think we should all share as much as you do.
An Obama supporter is someone who hates America!
Your percentages are way off.
Here’s an article you might find fascinating.
I know I did.
Bush Still Causing Job Losses and Hardship!
HAHAHAHA! FINALLY THOSE F*CKS ARE OUT OF WORK!
LONG LIVE REAGAN!
