Obama Presser: No Room for Teleprompter in Rose Garden?

Sources tell FishbowlDC that today’s WH press conference may not have been moved inside because of the summer humidity, but instead “because the rose garden cannot accommodate the president’s teleprompter, the TV pool and unilateral cameras.”

Twitpic from @markknoller of teleprompter set up in the briefing room.

> UPDATE: It seems that after all of the fuss about the president’s teleprompter, the WH tore it down at the last minute.

@markknoller WH changed its mind about the lectern TelePrompTer. It’s been removed.

Anyone know what “prompted” the change of heart?
