He had been writing it since November so must know every word of it by now.


Every president since Reagan has used a teleprompter on Inauguration Day, Obama used it more.

We must learn to separate criminals from the rest of us and deal with them according to the law. The insecurity is getting worse and difficult to fight because we keep mixing it with ethnicity.
well said ..we have too much compromise to our values and love for one another..the result as you have seen it’s devastating..

He read from a teleprompter.

No teleprompter, he had to reference the script before him if lost in any thought. But the old man didn't reference the script, he flowed flawlessly.

No, we are actually fighting against it. If not for the various intervention of patriotic folks like us who still believe in Nigeria, those who seek to divide us for hating the current government would have succeeded in setting this country on fire. We will continue to fight for this.
But the president himself has made matters worst by disobeying federal character, inciting hatred by trying to force Fulani herdsmen on us and many of his actions which has led us to where we are.

Chill, he actually read from a teleprompter.
But still, the speech was superb!

Where did you see the teleprompter in that arena? Someome that was standing meters away from the camera. There is a reason why the major news networks called that speech terrific, coz it was delivered completely offhand.

No they don't memorize, for formal speeches they use a teleprompter, and have since Eisenhower. But that won’t work for interviews or debates or questions asked after a press conference, that’s where you need to know your stuff.

Bitch more than 75million people are not just about house or senate this a real deal here..They gave Trump non stop trouble for 4 good years and you think Republicans will chill and accept all that BS.

Who is bitch? Cry baby
Those 75millions have reduced by more than 25%. Remember all the Trump enabled protesters of January 6th? They all wanted or expected a Trump pardon?

None of them received one.

As has always been tbe case, Donald Trump used them.

And gave them nothing in return.

So keep crying baby..... your saviour, Mr Trump f*cking lost. Get over it.

Presidents do not have the time to memorize their speeches, which are often being polished right up until the last minute. President Obama, like newscasters and all of his modern predecessors, uses a teleprompter to read his speeches.
A Teleprompter (usually more than one) is placed at eye level so the speaker does not need to look down and can make more meaningful eye contact with the audience and cameras. The only time I could ever see a President going off of memory, is if the remarks were very brief and/or informal. In that case, the President is most likely speaking more off the cuff, with perhaps some basic ideas or phrases suggested by his staff, but I'm only speculating here.

Leading political journalist and former Clinton staffer George Stephanopoulos recently related a story from his time in politics during an interview with Jon Stewart. It was a major healthcare speech in September 1993 and the teleprompter was mistakenly programmed with an old speech, his State of the Union address from earlier that year. For 13 minutes, President Clinton had to speak extemporaneously while the wrong speech flashed past his eyes (I think Presidents have kept hard copies at hand for major speeches since then). The fact that this story from 20 years ago is so extraordinary and memorable should demonstrate just how unheard of it is for a President to memorize their speeches.
Below is President Obama with a paper copy of his 2013 State of the Union Address, just in case the teleprompter fails like it did for Clinton in 1993.

I bet if you start writing a speech since November you'd know it all by heart in January.

Try it. Let me know if you don't memorize a speech you been writing for 3 months.

Biden did not memorize this particular speech, let me give you a tip, go back and watch the video of the speech.
He is reading them off of a teleprompter.

Pay attention to his immediate area and you will see two stands on either side of the podium or dias. On top of those stands is a rectangular plexiglass that reflects the words of the speech to his eyes, that is projected from the base of the stand.

Since the stands are placed to the left and right of the podium, he can switch between them to read and it looks like he is looking at the crowd of people.

And you know why people keep giving it ethnic and religious meaning, don't you? Because the perpetrators of insecurity in the country (eg Fulani herdsmen) seem to have the backing of the presidency and miyeti Allah. Hope you have heard about the myriads of attacks from the presidency and miyeti Allah against Akeredolu since he asked the herders to leave his people's farms for them?

I am certain he had a teleprompter as you state. I bet he knew it all by heart too. You can't work on a speech so long, I've found, without knowing it by heart.
