Americans of Indian origin are here in the country for many reasons. They contribute significantly to their adopted country that offers them opportunities that was lacking in the country of origin. One thing that I value is the family values of that Indian culture that I was brought up under. America offers freedom in every aspect of our life we live here. Hence, I am free to hold on to these values and beliefs, not choosing to blindly following the crowd. Our votes in India were either bought or cast in a block without understanding the issues. I enjoy the freedom to analye each candidate's stance on issues in light of my beliefs and values. Thus voting with my understanding not based on what a group is going to do. Personally, Obama's character as revealed in the past year raises enough doubts in my mind about his core value system. These core beliefs clearly finds its way into his social and economic that clearly have communist undertones. His foreign policy mimics so much that of India. Everyone knows its consequences as India continues to suffer at the hands of militancy supported by Pakistan. When reading this article I could see the arrogance of this man in considering the people from his homeland to be ignorant and naive. We should not allow politicians to take us for granted nor vote for who we are told to, neither should our vote be allowed to be bought. I urge every American of Indian origin to vote based on issues.
