I just stumbled across a website, www.teleprompterpresident.com, which chronicles every single mistake Obama makes on camera (pus it fabricates a few in a funny and mean-spirited way). Even though I suspect that the organizers of the site are avid opponents of Obama, I think they are doing a great service for him. Obama is on notice that every blunder will be magnified and re-played again and again. This would keep anyone on his or her rhetorical toes. And it is a great motivator for practice and speech rehearsal. My only regret about this website is that it can’t be duplicated for every public official in the world, every corporate leader and, indeed, anyone who ever has to speak to more than 3 people in a room.
