Not necessarily. When Uhuru Kenyatta read his speech off a teleprompter at Kasarani, I think in a KANU AGM, it wasn't shown by the media houses. And Cameras would more logically be focussed on Obama so that if you don't get a word, you can read the lips. Media may have captured teleprompters but were of less importance to show compared to the lips. --- On Wed, 1/21/09, James Kagwe <[email protected]> wrote: From: James Kagwe <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [kictanet] Obama Speech puzzle: read, memorised or simply no script?

Most good speakers especially litigation lawyers memories their speeches and when making the speech they rely on points so that it looks as if they are not reading a script. most likely Obama had his "points" on a screen in front of him.

If look at the video carefully they always have the highlights speech stand on the left and right on but still the way he puts it out is fabulous On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 9:56 AM, Maina Samson <[email protected]> wrote: The Obama speech puzzle. Obama had a written speech which was infact distributed to media houses before he read it. But watching him present the speech, I was alomost convinced he was reading it off his brain, his own head if you like. Is he a master of reading off teleprompters or do you think he memorised it, or just gave a haphazard/unscripted speech?
