Kalam is the people's president. The electorate may not have clever media coverage as politicians do, but they will act when they get their turn %u2013 next election.
When it comes to the post of a president, credibility, personality are more important than sex, caste and the social service.
Our President Kalam is revered by the Mother India (i.e. all of us), probably so much after Mahatma and his contemporaries. Irrespective of what happens in the next few days, I believe we will still respect and be proud that we have had someone so great who had crowned his chair in our lifetime. Even those who oppose him to continue, can not find enough words to say against him, to say the least.
He is so humble and respectable, that he will not be drawn into any controversy in this whole drama. "Burnt sea shell will still be white", quotes an old Tamil verse.
The third front has done a clever move, in spite of being third!, binding BJP& rest. Congress will pay the price in the next election, just as they have done in UP; still worried about what the late Rajiv Gandhi had to endure with the then President Giani Zail Singh. Our President has no more powers than what he/she can exercise.
Sad, we want the president to be a Woman? Seem to confirm that the post is a rubber stamp, we should only worry how he/she looks and not what he/she represents... May be want another different kinds of president in the future, I dare not pre-empt!
