At the joint press conference with President Bush and PM Manmohan Singh, the questions the US reporters could come up with were about Karl Rove and the Supreme Court nominee. I suppose these are important questions for the nation at the moment, but with the Indian prime minister present, shouldn't the questions have been about international matters, particualry about India. I think it was extremely rude of the reporters, as if the India PM's presence was inconsequential.

I heard a concurring opinion on NPR. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the link to that program. It talked about how rude it was of the US reporters. A foreign correspondent from the Deccan Herald give his opinion about the press conference. He pretty much said that they were secretly laughing at the two questions asked.
