Roughly Translated.
During a meeting between President Obama and the Indian PM, Manmohan Singh yesterday, President Obama started to scratch his left leg due to a rash or allergic reaction.
Later when Indian PM left , organizers were seen spraying the meeting room with anti bacterial spray. A source said, that they think, the Indian PM or one of his delegation was carrying some kind of germs or dust mites.
