So you're saying it didn't happen then?
Actually, he said nothing at all like that. Honesty in debate = good.

Why is it that you right-wingers are always so desperate that you grasp at silly fringe arguments like these rather than talk about the issues? Oops....perhaps its because when you talk about the issues you lose because you are out of step with the vast majority of America.

The Dems are in control of the direction of this country...
Direction of Country
NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll conducted by the polling organizations of Peter Hart (D) and Bill McInturff (R). Oct. 14-18, 2010. N=1,000 registered voters nationwide. Margin of error ± 3.1.
RV = registered voters. LV = likely voters. Except where noted, results below are among all adults.
"All in all, do you think things in the nation are generally headed in the right direction, or do you feel that things are off on the wrong track?"
Right direction 32%
Wrong track 59%
Ipsos/Reuters Poll conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs. Oct. 7-11, 2010. N=1,038 adults nationwide. Margin of error ± 3. 6/10 & earlier: Ipsos/McClatchy Poll.
"Generally speaking, would you say things in this country are heading in the right direction, or are they off on the wrong track?"
Right direction 31%
Wrong track 63%
If the GOP are the ones out of touch with America, why do the vast majority of Americans think the Dems have us on the wrong track?

No I'm not saying that it didn't happen, what I am saying is that it is stupid and people grasping for issues that aren't there. Its the silly "gotcha" politics that are playing on both sides of the aisle, whether its "Oh he portrays a Nazi in war re-enactments, so he's obviously a Nazi sympathizer" or "Obama hates religion because he didn't say the creator"....its politics at its slimiest level...and frankly, just silly.
That particular polling question doesn't really address the issues at all....it is a generic question that usually reflects how the society feels about how this country is going economically...so I would say it is really not representative of this particular debate.
when you talk about the issues you lose because you are out of step with the vast majority of America.
He dismissed it as propoganda. How is it "nothing at all like that" again? Are you claiming I'm being dishonest?
There is a large, unsubtle distinction between saying something is propaganda, and saying something did not happen.
So is he a Muslim or is he an atheist? Or does the fact that he's a cactus somehow allow him to be both?
I thought he was a socilaist Christian.
Who programmed the teleprompter?
Fine.. show me a poll that proves your point... that the GOP is, as you said
this is one of the most amusing comments on Obama. People who regularly are fed a lie believe Obama is somehow not a good public speaker. Forget that his speaking abilities is what played a great part in his beating the Clinton Machine and teh whole conservative GOP movement...
www. pollingreport.com. Just look at whatever issues you want and then compare the Dem/GOP platform on the issues.

LiveLeak.com - Obama Loses Track of Teleprompter
YouTube - Obama lost without a teleprompter
Dailymotion - When Obama is Asked Hard Questions Without his Teleprompter - a News & Politics video
These are just 3 examples of how Oabam is a good public speaker WITH a working teleprompter, but utterly lost without it.

Obama has spoekn to thousands of audiences with and without a telepromter. Mostly without. With his speaking ability he beat the crap out of the whole conservative movement in America.

Obama omits it because he respects America's contemporary pluralism more than its literary traditions.
Of course, the term 'Creator' doesn't necessarily posit the same kind of God posited by evangelical Christians. Indeed, the term is intended to respect America's historical pluralism, in that it chooses a religiously neutral epiphet for God.
