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.

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.
"We thought Obama is a trained orator and skilled in the art of mass address with his continuous eye contact," an official, who did not wish to be identified because of security restrictions, said.
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.

He has trouble pronouncing English words correctly using the teleprompter.
a teleprompter which the US president uses EVERY time for his STUPEFYING speeches
No doubt this is ZERO’s first fundraising stop for his 2012 Presidential stop, saying hello to all those ‘farmed-out I.T.’ jobs.
Obama is the ultimate affirmative action promotion. A living example of the Peter Principle...HE IS NOT VERY SMART.
Did he REALLY think that Austrians speak “Austrian”? Does he believe naval corpsmen are called “corpsemen”? Are there 57 states? Had any of these gaffs been made by a Republican they’d be 24/7 “news”.
The guy can read a teleprompter, which contains a speech written by some one else...beyond that...he’s lost.
how do you say “uh” in Hindi ?
“I am a Frankfurter Hot Dog”
how do you say “uh” in Hindi ?
with bad breath
TOTUS — don’t leave home without it.
Fortunately for BO, Indians speak that dastardly colonial
language.
I said it here last week, Obama is going to run for Indian Premiere.
Be sure to read the comments attached to the story, wherein they debate whether or not Obama is a street thug.

Soon, I hope. Real soon.
I’m sorry about the lack of “barf alert”, but I found the childlike disappointment of the author very touching (and amusing.)
The idiot can’t even read it in English what makes them think he can do it in Hindi..Now if they did it in Muslim then he would have no problems..
