I don't know if this has been posted before, but . . . here it is.  I'll do the first four paragraphs, then skip one.

Obama to use teleprompter for Hindi speech

Indo-Asian News Service
New Delhi, November 06, 2010

Namaste India!  In all likelihood that will be silver-tongued Barack Obama's opening line when he addresses the Indian parliament next week.  But to help him pronounce Hindi words correctly will be a teleprompter which the US president uses ever so often for his hypnotising speeches.

According to parliament sources, a technical team from the US has helped the Lok Sabha secretariat install textbook-sized panes of glass around the podium that will give cues to Obama on his prepared remarks to 780 Indian MPs on the evening of Nov 8.

It will be a 20-minute speech at Parliament House's Central Hall that has been witness to some historic events, including first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru's "tryst with destiny" speech when India became independent.

Obama will make history for more than one reason during the Nov 6-9 visit. This will be the first time a teleprompter will be used in the nearly 100-feet high dome-shaped hall that has portraits of eminent national leaders adorning its walls.

This next paragraph is the "money shot." :fuelfire: It's the sixth one in.

Looks can be deceiving . . .  :lol:

Indian politicians are known for making impromptu long speeches and perhaps that is why some parliament officials, who did not wish to be named, sounded rather surprised with the idea of a teleprompter for Obama.

The money quote:

Obama is known to captivate audiences with his one-liners that sound like extempore and his deep gaze. But few in India know that the US president always carries the teleprompter with him wherever he speaks.

Apparently their impression of him was formed by watching the highly (and favorably) edited footage of him aired by our own MSM, i.e. only the successful delivery of soundbites and punchlines with all the tedious hemming, hawing, and outright bullshit beforehand omitted.

What kind of security restrictions? Take him out back and shoot him?
