President Obama in Ghana

CNN is right next to BBC in covering World News. I am totally disappointed in the coverage of the USA President Obama speaking live in Ghana. There is little point in advertising live coverage when you can't deliver simple audio/visual connections.

I applaud the concept of using local help in such situations but what has happened to pre-testing and quality control. Even after the even began there was no effort made to improve the connections.

For a company that does live broadcasts all the time I am wondering if everyone at CNN with technological expertise is on vacation this weekend. I think the local college kids here in Washington, DC could have done a better job of preparing for the President of the USA than CNN did in Ghana today.
