US President Barack Obama may be elated over striking deals with India in various fields but he did not want a collaboration between the two countries in one area - media!

The US President was at his jovial best at the joint press conference with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh here on Monday when he was pressed by India journalists to answer a part of a question raised by an American mediaperson relating to the US' stand on a permanent UNSC seat for India.
