Sonia & Rahul if read from prepared note, whats wrong with it ? Bajpayee always read when it come to important issue. Whats important is what idea u r communicating. Not written or verbal. Does your idea inspire, unite nation to progress, is it positve or attacking other party for political gain. These things matter. U see when Bush speak. Ever sentence is to inspire common man, delivered with human interest. u never hear him giving big bombastic boring talk like our politicians do. All usa president does this. Thats why america is so strong nation today. In india u listen to president/PM speech on independence day, u feel like sleeping, or headache, they are so complicated.
