Obama used a telemprompter when he was talking to sixth graders.

The real question is, who writes the majority of his speeches? If I'm not mistaken, I believe Reagan did write a very significant portion, if not the majority, of his own speeches. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Didn't Peggy Noonan write most of his speeches?The real question is, who writes the majority of his speeches? If I'm not mistaken, I believe Reagan did write a very significant portion, if not the majority, of his own speeches. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You are wrong. Reagan only wrote a few of his speeches.
Reagan didn't write his most famous speech.I can't find much data to prove either way. All I found was that Nixon wrote 19 out of 20 that were his own personal speeches (discounting oval office, joint-session of congress, and S.O.U. speeches). JFK also wrote many of his own speeches.
I don't doubt Clinton wrote many of his own speeches, but he still had a speechwriter. Reagan and Clinton seemed to have a primary, singular speechwriter that did most of the work. Most of the others had multiple speechwriters. George W. Bush had the most (something like 5 or 6).
I'm very sure that Reagan wrote many of his own speeches. How much? I have no idea. And I'm having trouble locating reliable information.

He didn't write most of his speeches. He had a large staff of speechwriters working for him.
I don't think that really proves anything. I'm not asserting that Reagan wrote speeches without editorial advice. I'm saying that I'm sure he wrote the majority of the content of many of his speeches. Perhaps not the majority but a significant amount. I just can't find any hard data that proves either way.

Perhaps. I can't say I know. But, all of them used speech writers to some degree. But, what exact claim are you making (he reads someone's else's ideas, handled so to speak) and do you have any evidence to support that claim?
everyone is missing the pure humor in this. Interviewing a teleprompter? Come on... that's funny!
LOL - here's another gem:Obama used a telemprompter when he was talking to sixth graders.

he recalled a visit to some national parks as an 11-year-old. "That was an experience I will never forget," he said, reading from the teleprompter.
Reagan was no different than any other president. They all used speechwriters, except maybe Lincoln.

There is a difference between a speechwriter and an editor. I don't like to repeat myself, so I won't. But I've already responded to your argument. See previous post.
