Obama Campaign Tired of Watching Their Guy Say Stupid Things

It looks like the Obama campaign is tired of hearing their guy say dumb things like the "lipstick on a pig" comment that took them off their message for two days. Instead of letting him speak off-the-cuff, they're bringing the teleprompter out for rallies he use to do without one:

(CNN) — It appears Barack Obama's teleprompter is hitting the campaign trail.

The Democratic presidential nominee has never tried to hide the fact he delivers speeches off the device, though normally he doesn't use one at standard campaign rallies and town hall events.

But the Illinois senator used a teleprompter at both his Colorado events Monday — making for a particularly peculiar scene in Pueblo, where the prompter was set up in the middle of what is normally a rodeo ring.

I wonder if they'll put lots of "ums" and "ahs" in the text so he sounds natural?
