Obama wasn’t using teleprompter in Roanoke, where he made controversial comments on business

All this week, conservatives have criticized President Obama for his comments about business during a speech in Roanoke. But at the same time, they wondered, how could the usually smooth Obama slip up so badly? - Charlie Spiering/Washington Examiner @CharlieSpiering

Judging from video and photos of the event, Obama wasn’t using his teleprompter. According to the video footage posted below, Obama pulled a folded sheet of paper out of his front shirt pocket at the beginning of his speech, and slowly unfolded it. Throughout the speech, Obama glances down at his sheet of paper, rather than the usual mechanical side-to-side head turns from screen to screen.
