A teleprompter will be in use for the first time in the Central Hall of Parliament when US President Barack Obama addresses MPs on November eight.
As per the tentative programme being worked out, the address by Obama, who once said that "America has its roots in the India of Mahatma Gandhi", would not be for more than 20 minutes.
The president's programme in Parliament House complex itself will be less than an hour affair, Parliament sources said today. It is scheduled to start at 5pm.
The programme will feature a welcome speech by vice president Hamid Ansari and a vote of thanks by Lok Sabha speaker Meira Kumar. The US president would also sign the Golden Book, the visitors’ diary of Parliament.

Well, to be fair, at some point he learned how to "read out loud". Of course he might have learned how to do that before he got to Harvard. After all, most kids learn how to do that in elementary school.
Can you imagine the screams and flinging spit from the mouths of the leftists in the media had this been a REPUBLICAN President who couldn’t take a sh*t without a teleprompter by his side??
There would be mass strokes from all the beet red faces and popped blood veins.
LOLOL!
What do the Indians think of this man, I wonder...They can’t all be enamoured.
most Indians like to think of themselves as being educated enough to have no need of a teleprompter
What do the Indians think of this man, I wonder...They can’t all be enamoured.
Some of his rhetoric about curtailing outsourcing...and in particular the bill that the Dems floated towards the end of this session...have them really spooked. Expect Barry to get pounded with very sharp questions on this topic.
To damn funny!.....coffee everywhere.
Some adulation left among the young and foolish,
Adults, professionals and entrepreneurs, rather more skeptic, military slightly taken aback by the sheer quantity and quality of arms Obama has bestowed upon Pakistan, apprehensive about a potential power vacuum in Afghanistan, and fearful of Obama’s limpwristedness in countering China.
Apart from that, all flowers and love.
The Indian lower, middle and upper classes are somewhat bemused to find themselves more in simpatico with Republicans than Democrats!
Hilarious!
Racist?
The Parliamentary speakers of both houses have an amazing ability to propound at great length upon the issues of the day.
In a real sense, they harken back to the oratorical and rhetorical skills of a bygone era, and in another sense, obviate the need for any anti-insomnia medication.
He can’t leave home without it. Otherwise he would sound like the cheap petty ignorant little community agitator that he really is.
"Thank you. Vice President Ansari, Lok Sabha, Speaker Kumar and members of the Indian Parliament, 'How!'"
There’s a moment in history to be proud of. /s
Well, we can expect some of that from the young and foolish :) I’m glad to see that others are more skeptical, especially given Pakistan and China - that’s huge, in my opinion. Nonethless, I’m sure he’ll be given a respectable welcome when he visits.
Do most of the Indian classes tend to feel or lean more Democrat than Republican? I had always thought that the middle class would be more in simpatico w/Republican, but that’s just my guess!
