Here's how I envision how Obama speaking with President Ahmadinejad without a ateleprompter:
"Everybody knows that it makes no sense for you to want nukes when there is lots of oil and ... and cheap oil, too. I mean, you can get oil everywhere, so why the nuclear power, and you don't want nukes.
You don't, do you? Would you tell me if if you want nukes, because y'know nukes are a big deal with the American public. Making nuke material, people are they think that, 'Hey, you want to build a nuke to wipe Israel off the map,' and people worry about you having a nuke or two makes that makes people think you would use them, so that's the thing people object to, that you if you ... would you give it to people think you'll give it to Hezbollah or Hamas, or somebody.
"Now, some will say, 'Well, Iran wants to have it, the bomb,' that is, because you can, but you know what?..to make nukes ... or buy nukes ... but not Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is worried about you making nukes, you you know that. All right. OK. We're going to ... it ... it would cost you to build one not in money, but your image, how others see your image in the region.
Y'know, they see you as a threat, not just the U.S. and Israel. So, can I get you to not make a nuke, that is, if you're really building one, which, now I I read the reports, and it says you won't so I take that at that you won't that you only want power, not nukes, right?"
I would feel sorry for the translator.
