Does Obama speak from his soul or from
prepared scripts written by others on a teleprompter
Obama's
speeches "off the cuff" or "winging it" without a teleprompter have failed
to electrify.
Obama relies on a teleprompter through even the shortest announcements. If he
actually (personally) wrote the scripts - he should be able to explain it
without notes or a teleprompter. He fails to do so in one on one interviews.
Teleprompter Goes Out on Obama
Who
writes the speeches for Obama?
Obama's speechwriter is Jon Favreau a 27-year-old. Favs, as Obama calls him,
looks every bit his age, with a baby face and closely shorn stubble.
“The trick of speechwriting, if you will, is making the client say your
brilliant words while somehow managing to make it sound as though
they issued straight from their own soul."
Favs claims to have mastered Obama’s voice. He took down almost
everything the senator said and absorbed it. Now, he said, when he sits down
to write, he just channels Obama his ideas, his sentences, his phrases.
Favs leads a team of two other young speechwriters: 26-year-old Adam
Frankel, who worked with John F. Kennedy’s adviser and speechwriter Theodore
C. Sorensen on his memoirs, and Ben Rhodes, who, at 30, calls himself the
“elder statesman” of the group and who helped write the Iraq Study Group
report as an assistant to Lee H. Hamilton.
Obama’s reliance on the teleprompter is unusual, not only because he is
famous for his oratory, but because no other president has used one so
consistently and at so many events, large and small.
After the teleprompter malfunctioned a few times last summer and Obama
delivered some less-than-soaring speeches, reports surfaced that he was
training to wean himself off of the device while on vacation in Hawaii. But
no such luck.
Just how much of a crutch the teleprompter has become for Obama was on sharp
display during his latest commerce secretary announcement. The president
spoke from a teleprompter in the ornate Indian Treaty Room for a few
minutes. Then Gov. Gary Locke stepped to the podium and pulled out a piece
of paper for reference.
The president’s teleprompter also elicited some uncomfortable laughter after
he announced Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as his choice for Health and
Human Services secretary. “Kathy,” Obama said, turning the podium over to
Sebelius, who waited at the microphone for an awkward few seconds while the
teleprompters were lowered to the floor and the television cameras rolled.
Obama has relied on a teleprompter through even the shortest announcements
and when repeating the same lines on his economic stimulus plan that he's
been saying for months — whereas past presidents have mostly worked off of
notes on the podium except during major speeches, such as the State of the
Union
During the election campaigning Hillary Clinton
had helped turn her campaign around by discounting Obama’s elegant oratory,
saying, “You campaign in poetry, but you govern in prose.”
