The pathetic inability of Barack Obama to speak without the help of a teleprompter will be showcased to the world's most populous democracy when the president flees the electoral aftermath and decamps for India after the November electiona. Daily News and Analysis India reports: 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. Twenty minutes only, and Obama can't let go of what Vice President Mondale calls "idiot cards." The dependence is so complete that he overturns a parliamentary tradition in an important ally. This is a national humiliation for the United States, and will be a source of amusement the world over.

Wrong again Obama. American declared independence in 1776. Gandhi led India to independence 160 years later. Gandhi's civil disobedience had it's roots in America with Henry David Thoreau and others. Many years ago, there lived in America a great man named Henry David Thoreau. His writings are read and pondered over by millions of people… Much importance is attached to his writings because Thoreau himself was a man who practised what he preached. Impelled by a sense of duty, he wrote much against his own country, America. He considered it a great sin that the Americans held many persons in the bond of slavery. He did not rest content with saying this, but took all other necessary steps to put a stop to this trade. One of the steps consisted in not paying any taxes to the State in which the slave trade was being carried on. He was imprisoned when he stopped paying the taxes due from him. The thoughts which occurred to him during his imprisonment were boldly original. -- From Gandhi. Indian Opinion. Quoted in M.V. Kamath. The United States and India 1776- 1976. Washington, D.C.: Embassy of India, 1976. 65.] Of course, Obama would never site Henry David Thoreau because he's just some dead white guy.
Just the latest in a long line of Obama-induced humiliations fer America, I'm afraid...MUD

Give him a break! How would it look if he actually appeared on stage with somebody standing behind him pulling strings?
