YOUR TELEPROMPTER, NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT:

Obama Dines In, to Some Russians’ Distaste (PETER BAKER, 7/07/09, NY Times)

After passing on dinner with the French president to go on a date in the City of Light with his wife last month, President Obama took leave of his Russian hosts on Tuesday night to seclude himself in his Moscow hotel with his wife, Michelle, and their daughters. [...]

Mr. Obama has seemed tired here, several times fumbling the pronunciation of Mr. Medvedev’s name and Mr. Putin’s title. Beginning a speech here, he mistakenly said he first met his wife in school instead of at the law firm where they actually met. And he misstated his younger daughter’s age.

Ever get the feeling that Angela Lansbury is about to appear and show him the Queen of Diamonds?
