In Obama's speech today to students...?

why does he never look at the camera? He's supposed to be talking to the kids of the entire country, yet he never looks at them.

Is he incapable of taking his eyes off his teleprompter even for a few moments to make some kind of contact with the vast viewing audience?

Update:

There may have been students in the room, but he wasn't looking at them either. He was looking at his teleprompter. There's no sense of contact with this man.

If someone is talking to you he should have the courtesy to actually look at you or in this case, the camera.

All I saw was a man swiveling his head back and forth reading, like a robot. No warmth, no contact, no respect for the viewer.

    Ummmm, he was talking to a room full of students, naturally he would be looking at them. It would be a bit odd for the live audience if the speaker was staring at the camera the whole time. Are you seriously so desperate to trash him that this is the best you came up with. Pathetic!

    That shows even more of his witchcraft, he put the kids on a neo liberal trance even without looking them in the eyes. This man is dangerous. I heard high school students are running out of schools already with hammers and sickles in their hands and waving red flags. He practiced witchcraft on the children. Now I'm hearing reports that some of the kids have started to turn black... oh no... what are we going to do... the world is coming to an end... a bunch of them are heading towards me... oh nooooo save yourlselbablbnm ahlkjahn..;' a

    At least he didn't cut the throat of a puppy and spray blood all over the first three rows of children.

    That was in the first draft of the speech.

    It got cut out.

    Wow. I'm speechless. Logic like this is perfect example of why kids should stay in school.

    Barack Obama is a shifty, side winding snake oil salesman who preyed on the fears of America to get elected. Try looking at some Youtube videos where he is truly "candid" without a prepared speech. They are generally train wrecks.

    So now that the speech didn't really contain any partisan issues, you have to find something to complain about? Get over it.
