It's a shame that a controversial candidate like Prathibha Patil has been elected Prez of India. It's a travesty of justice that a popular President like Kalam is not re nominated by our own representatives just because he dared to be different. I have lost any semblance of respect for our dirty politicians who not only refuse to heed people's respect but also foist a member of their own shameless gang to the highest post. If it were any other country or self respecting politician he or she would have withdrawn from the race when a few major issues of ethical conduct has been raised. Thumbs down Prathiba Patil, down down, Congress Party and Sonia Gandhi! God save our country!
