Obama is a Politican continued
by on Feb 25, 2008 08:05 PM

I guess I exceeded my characters in the previous one: so continuing:
This shows that Obama is like anyother: will say anything to get the votes. What is more, it shows the scant regard, worse disregard he has for the Indian community. He is dishing out to the Indian community in America the same words he dishes out to all minority communities, and that could include Arabs, Muslims from other parts of the world, Latin American immigrants, Russians and so on. This in turn means he knows absolutely nothing about the Indian community concerns in America- not just those of the professionals but also of the business communities which have traditionally helped families emigrate over time.

Only a person who cares a hoot or who thinks "these people are putzes" will be so callous. Wake up!

Indian-Americans rooting for Obama ( I would go so far as to say Hilary or Obama) are foolish. They do not know which side of their bread is buttered. Ultimately, if Obama gets nominated, it will be a repeat of McGovern-Nixon election, only without Watergate.
McCain is a natural fit for Indian community. I do not know what prompts them to go in large numbers for Hilary or Obama. Chatwal might, because he monetarily benefited from them. But the community did not benefit from them at all (the Clintons). They are just talk. And now Obama shows himself to be one too.
So, tell me, where is the Ghandhian Spirit in that article?
