Obama is perhaps the only world leader in history who uses a teleprompter to deliver speeches. Critics say that without a teleprompter Obama becomes incoherent and cannot even talk on policies he is supposedly passionate about.

In fact, during Obama’s forthcoming visit to India, a teleprompter will be installed in the Central Hall of the Indian Parliament so Obama can seamlessly deliver his speech.

Criticisms have not been muted. Will Spencer, a reputed member of the Digital Point Forums, says:

It’s a national embarrassment. The fool running the United States government is too stupid to be allowed to speak in public. His handlers have to tie him to a teleprompter to make sure he doesn’t say something from the vacuous recesses of his own mind.

As for as Obama’s India trip, the Indians do not have very high hopes, considering the populist measures Obama has taken to ostensibly save American jobs, but which have hurt Indian IT companies in the USA.

The Obama administration’s flowery words “India and America are natural allies”, “India and America are strategic partners” etc have been exposed to be hollow as actions have been speaking much louder than words in the opposite direction. The massive and mindless aid packages announced to Pakistan, a country whose intelligence agency has been proven to be covertly supporting the Taliban with money and weapons and playing a double game with the West, is a huge dampener. Much of this aid is also used to fund terror activities against the West in general and India in particular.

We will need to be really audacious to have any hopes from the current US President.

God bless the teleprompter.

Barack Obama, Democratic front-runner for the US President, sees Mahatma Gandhi as an inspiration and has a portrait of the apostle of peace in his office to remind him that ordinary people can do extraordinary things.

“In my life, I have always looked to Mahatma Gandhi as an inspiration, because he embodies the kind of transformational change that can be made when ordinary people come together to do extraordinary things,”

Vowing to strengthen ties with the “natural partner” India, Obama has noted that the hardworking Indian-American professionals are adding to the “richness” of the US society and invited the community to join him in “renewing the strength” of this country.

“The world’s oldest democracy and the world’s largest democracy are natural partners, sharing important interests and fundamental democratic values,”

Well isn’t Obama the same guy who was pointing fingers at India’s outsourcing industry for America’s job losses? But aah, he finally eyed the vote bank which the Clintons have always been close to. Better late than never Obama!

Obama, who has edged past rival Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries, said it is his commitment to the critical relationship between the two countries that he voted for the US-India nuclear energy deal on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
