January 26th, 2010 · No Comments

One week ago today, as shown in the video above, President Barack Obama used teleprompters as he addressed sixth-grade students at Graham Road Elementary in Falls Church, Va.  But who knew?  A Google News search today showed the mainstream news media certainly didn’t mention it in any of their reports — unless, that is, you [...]
