Speaking Before an Audience

The inability to speak on our feet has brought about a term I have called Teleprompt-torical.

President Obama appears to be vying with ancient Roman senators who stood about in togas making speeches. Interestingly, they did so without the use of teleprompters.

He, however, has changed things in this country, even the world. You might say, his speeches are very teleprompt-torical.

I would think that schools today ought to include courses on debating, in addition to their regular curricula. The ability to think on your feet without having something to read from in front of you, other than note outlines, would be a benefit to all.
