Do you think pains for US economy will be addressed by Obama better than McCain? May be or may not be but that's not where I am going. I am pointing to a stereotype about ‘Democrats for India’ (and you have one more of your own about ‘Patel’ and ‘Female’ but that's your own to deal with ). The population you want me to ‘assume’ is rather small (about 1% of US Population) verses what I am pointing (17% of World). And exactly that is the difference in our perspective. Now apply dose of your own medicine to yourself and think – if a largest democracy can find ways to strengthen itself, why can’t a largest economy strengthen by itself? Does it really need Obama or McCain? Can write more on that but that would be a ‘tangent’ to the discussion here. Finally going to your example to Asian countries you have incorrect analogy. South Korea has transformed itself to one of the economic powers. In other countries you have listed, the manufacturers are not local companies but western businesses and that is THE difference between India-Korea and Philippines-Thailand. Good Luck with your ‘audacity of hopes’ with Obama.
