    That must be Reagan's only time while President, since he was famous for his dependency upon the teleprompter. When I saw the thread title, I expected the thread to be about the greatest example, Clinton's State of the Union, when he brilliantly improvised most of the speech after his teleprompter mysteriously failed. Republicans were awfully quiet afterward.

    That's because Republicans realized at that moment that, although Clinton was a Dem, he was intelligent enough to be Republican.

    Reagan wasn't president in 1964.

    Reagan had a lot of script memorizing practice under his LINE?

    Am I missing something? Who cares if a teleprompter is used or not?

    Somehow the Republicans think that a man who was the President of the Harvard Law Review, who wrote two books, and who is a master orator is actually a dummy who is incapable of communicating without a teleprompter.

    So what if he is? What a man has to say is far more important than how he says it.

    Maybe phonetic spelling would have helped His Brilliance?

    He sounded like a Libertarian back then, too. Anti-war (non interventionist) before it was fashionable. Reference to the founding fathers, too.
