At least all Sarah needs is a small outline, unlike Obama, who can't fart properly unless it's spelled out on the teleprompter.
I'm also sure that Sarah can properly pronounce "corpsman".
Is Obama _really_ an American, or the fabled Manchurian Candidate? ...Jim Thompson

Not even that. She can just reply "All of 'em" to all questions.
Slamming Palin for crib notes on her palm is not the brightest, most strategic move for the kook left.
Most people would see such crib notes as a normal practical, human thing to do.
How could you twist that into something to complain about, a FAULT??
You betcha.
Obama ridiculed a candidate for driving a pickup truck, and you know what happened. Watch him speak sometime; his head swings left and right 45 degrees, like a metronome. I guess he's wear-leveling his teleprompters.

the greater the number of government agencies,the more control the gov't has,and the less freedom Americans have.
the EPA is a fine example.

Agreed, it just seems a little odd that she wrote them on her palm rather than just bringing a notepad or similar with her; it gives the *appearance* that she's trying to hide her use of notes. Obama uses those big-ass teleprompters where there's no question whatsoever that he's getting plenty of help "remembering" his speeches/talking points...
And of course someone talking from notes themselves probably shouldn't criticize someone else who does the same thing...
I think there's a definite qualitative difference between using a teleprompter during a 30 minute speech, which virtually every candidate and president Republican or Democrat has done since their invention, to using crib notes for a Q&A session afterwards. Sure, everyone realizes the responses in those situations are canned to some degree, but when you have to have to use notes to answer basic questions about where you stand on issues it gives the impression that you're a) too lazy to even memorize what your own policy positions are or b) you don't even have any positions of your own and you're being fed absolutely everything from your superiors. Of course she's trying to hide the use of her notes, because apparently she has to use them to get through one of these sessions that Obama, McCain, and every other candidate I recall watching during the election campaign were able to do effortlessly.

I've read that Obama's teleprompter shows him statistics and stuff when he's asked to answer questions. That's not too hard to arrange, since most of the questions were planted in advance.

Yes, although I wouldn't really ding her even for needing notes even during a Q&A session -- some people get really nervous and flustered when the spotlight's on them, even though they may be well-informed and knowledgable on whatever it is they're supposed to be talking about.
And they weren't really crib "notes", they were topic titles:
The words "Energy", "Tax" and "Lift American Spirits" are clearly visible. There's also what appears to read as "Budget cuts" with the word Budget crossed out.
Why do leftists fear Sarah? Afraid she'll kick their ass ?:-)
She will ;-) ...Jim Thompson

[Might help if I enclosed them :-] "He has a real psychological hang up about the entertainment capitol of the world. An apology won?t be acceptable this time, I don?t know where his vendetta comes from but we?re not going to let him make his BONES by lambasting Las Vegas, that?s why (the press) is here today.He didn?t learn his lesson the first time, but when he hurt our economy by his ill conceived rhetoric, we didn?t think it would happen again, but now that it has I want to assure you, when he comes I?ll do everything I can to give him the boot back to Washington and to visit his failures back there.
I gotta tell you this, everybody says I shouldn?t say it, but I gotta tell you the way it is. This president is a real slow learner."

Seems like an awfully strong response to Obama's statement that, "You don't blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college." I mean, that's just common sense, isn't it? Sure doesn't sound like "lambasting" to me.
If Las Vegas's economy is hurt because people choose to spend their money on college instead, I can't say I have a whole lot of sympathy for Las Vegas; that's the risk you take when your economy is built almost entirely on entertainment and gambling.
Are the boat manufacturers up in arms about Obama's preceding statement, "You don't go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage?"
I find it interesting but I still remember my college communications class. You weren't allowed to use a full type out speech. Instead they taught how to distill a speech down to a handful of items.
No need for a teleprompter, just and index card will do.
I used to teach (and write) seminars, mostly for ICE.
I found I did better with no fixed libretto ;-)
Just put up my overhead slides... look at it... "What the f*** is that?", Oh yes, now I remember, talk about it extemporaneously... works best and makes it easier to blend in the students' questions. ...Jim Thompson
