Senator Obama has foregone his duties to the country to take 3 days to
prepare for the upcoming Presidential debates while America tailspins into
financial disaster. Obama, whose strength is in front of a teleprompter
delivering prescripted oratory is at a serious disadvantage when left to
his own wits against a 72 year old suffering dementia.

Except for the unwarranted sneer about 'dementia' you are right about Obama
not performing without his teleprompter.
I have just seen him on TV stopping in his tracks in the middle of a speech
and looking worried because he did not seem to know what to say next.
Then he seemed to recall what someone had briefed him to say and carried on.
But the image remains...
