The clip I listened to was audio only (no pictures, so no relevance to bp vest) which appears to reveal a "voice" speaking GWB's words, moments before he does.
I suppose the context is that someone is reading him his speech (perhaps over the wireless translation earclip) and he is reciting it.
Could mean someone else is speaking for him ... could mean he didn't have time to memorize his speech and this is nothing more than an audio prompter.
Given the context and the situation, it doesn't mean much either way IMO.
BTW - this was not during the debate, it was during a press conference in a foreign country - Russia, I think.
