Yes, Obama is a good teleprompter reader. He also uses one in the middle, when it's there. As for his speech-writing, there's this from a recent NY Times:

      "Mr. Jon Favreau, 27, has had a hand in practically every speech that Mr. Obama has delivered in the last four years. While many believe that Mr. Obama writes his own speeches longhand on a legal pad, a better historical account will show that he offers input and Mr. Favreau actually writes them."
 
In fact, Jon Favreau is to Obama what Ted Sorensen was to JFK.
