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.
........
Obama will take the help of a teleprompter to deliver his address to the 780-odd members of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, sources said.
Parliament authorities said this will be the first time that such a facility will be arranged in the Central Hall.
Super Genius can't deliver a twenty minute speech without his binky!! Does anyone EVER wonder if, maybe, just maybe, he is not the intellectual wonder he is portrayed to be if he can never stray from prepared material. The article itself raises the suggestion but, alas backs off at the end:
Obama’s reliance on the teleprompter is unusual--not only because he is famous for his oratory, but because no other president has used one so consistently and at so many events, large and small.
So, he is famous for his oratory -- which he will only deliver from prepared text. Well, I am less than impressed.
