    Right.
    Because even though he is a highly educated lawyer with years of training, we know that down deep, however well they dress,
    they still aren't as smart as real people, are they ranch?
    
    Probably some white kid in thick glasses has been helping Obama with his homework and speeches since 5th grade.
    
    Hey RanchHand!
    Am I white or black?

  NoWayMan
  According to the NYT:
  Jon Favreau - chief speechwriter to Senator Barack Obama
  Favreau leads a team of two other young speechwriters: 26-year-old Adam Frankel and Ben Rhodes
  Why would the campaign be paying 3 speech writers if Obama writes his own speeches?

    If he did write his own speech he would have the qualifications to be a speechwriter.

  noway, then why does he need a teleprompter"
  
  Palin's teleprompter didn't work and she kept on speaking with HUMOR and knowledge.

    It's easier to speak without a teleprompter when you mean what you say. That's why Obama completely loses it when the teleprompter is gone and that's why he'll lose in the debates.
