Obama in America
By Dinesh Wagle
Congratulations America! Thanks for electing Barack Obama the president of your country. Wish I was in Chicago. This is time for celebration. History has been made, in a spectacular fashion. Yesterday evening when TV was showing black people standing in lines to vote, my mom asked: America ma pani kala hunchhan ra? [Are there blacks even in America?]. Before we saw on TV the likes of Williams sisters and Tiger Woods rocking their respected fields we were brought up learning that only Gora (whites) are the Amrekane (Americans). A gora from anywhere would be the Amrekane for us. That’s why I didn’t find anything surprising in my mom’s question. There is some sense of disbelief thinking a black man has risen to the presidency of the United States.
I am moved by what I am seeing on TV, a tearful Jesse Jackson and many other African Americas. It’s certainly a big big day for them. I heard singer/songwriter Tracy Chapman saying this: “I am a proud American today.” It’s amazing how far American has come in the past several decades, especially in the past couple of years. One African American commentator was saying: Just three years ago if someone would express the possibility of this day I would have considered him drunk.
Above all, the biggest credit for this day goes to the Gora Amrekane who voted Obama. They are the true Americans, new Americans who demonstrated magnanimity, crossed the racial line and decided something that will have profound impact in American and the world. I personally know many white Americans who supported Obama and voted for him. These voters have proved that any dream, however crazy and impossible that may sound, could be realized in America.
On a personal note, I am moving to New Delhi today to take charge of the New Delhi bureau of newspapers Kantipur and the Kathmandu Post. Yesterday was my last day in office in Kathmandu and I had to write an editorial piece for Kantipur, the country’s largest paper, on the US presidential campaign. [Reporters do write editorials in Nepali journalism.] I have my own biases but then editorials are about opinions. I am the one who have endorsed Obama for the American presidency. Endorsing Obama in the editorial that would be published in Nepal in the morning when voting would be closed American didn’t give any sense but I couldn’t stop myself praising Obama. By the end of the 500-something-word piece, it felt as if I was writing after knowing that Obama had won! And yes, he has won. And yes his victory speech was truly THE presidential.

that editorial was really a piece.
We suddenly ALL Exist this is a democratic transformative biracial president, all coloured people cease to be forever second class citizens. He was raised by women he believes in God he believes in Dreams the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King is alive again. GOD BLESS AMERICA
whoever insults anyone or even uses the word kale is fired. I am happy today like I have never been this is a victory of ALL INVISIBLE PEOPLE and all the marginalized classes of all colours worldwide. Africa is celebrating this is a historical Day. Hope is born and peace is alive. There is a future for our planet cooperating in all ways to end injustices, poverty and wars.
Congratulation Obama for making the history in America. I also one of his biggest Nepali Supporter and I m very much happy today.
Congrats to U, too Dinesh Jee. I hope U will do more better in ur career and for the Kantipur Publication. I wish all the best for U. Have a nice stay in Delhi.
Yes, he won!
So, what?
What a blog post! An African-American became the 44th president of the United States and you are giving all the credit to the White voters. (”Above all, the biggest credit for this day goes to the Gora Amrekane who voted Obama.”)
You sound like as if this election process was an affirmative-action exercise.
at this stage forget colour and credit.
Enjoy milenium goals erradication of stupidity poverty and social classes
education for all
especially mao what did I vote?
british bbc one woman said we should be less cynical.
the problem is that who got tortured repeats this.
Obama had loving people in Kenia and in USA he had all colours he understands all .
About Nepal they cannot give rotten food to my black sons anymore because america dictates the way of the world. It makes prachandra cum suis a little right in being robin hood for the poor. It even makes mao a little true but beware of doing what they did.
Not because those did to you you do to them.
Also I like obama kissed his wife on the nose so happy they were no asian would do that on tv they go with ludricous ceremony never hugging or holding hands. that is what caused the misery.
show some emotion.
brown people like the majority of the world can never ever be looked upon as lesser.
Especially women who are creater of men.
Obama will take terrorist of our government. send them again to washington our good government. And don’ t be shy about our good government be proud nepali at least americans believe in themselves i believe in Nepal.
try
any time any busdriver any passenger any any coworker does any thing the law of anti racism will be aplied and president of united states fly in himself to erase the wrong doer.
from to day on you personally can send your enemy to guantanomo bay he is one of us
got it
do you mean free tickets to america if we make problems’
there was a game i did with my sister it is called landgrabbing you throw a knife in the sand and where it lands becomes your territory.
Obama won by elections.
Is government landgrabbing or are gangsters landgrabbing.
All must be made constitutional. The equality comes from the heart .
Do you think those white racists are happy?
Give and take is the game but now is our turn the peoples turn but the peoples have to keep manners nicely. Do not retaliate it boomerangs back. Look at China a wonderful economic progress so hated by the entire west and by their entire own population they killed their new born babies to become so stinking rich. Be love and happiness our way is nicely.
landgrab stop take by law.
there is a widespread prejudice that the nature peoples are not so intelligent.
wall street fell.
Obama believs in himself it is a subconscous mechanism that makes us integrate the hatred prejudices of the enemy as if women really should look up to men as if nepalese really should ask for help to donorcountries.
Stand on your lovely 2 feet. God bless OBAMA for being a role model to all asian african mixed and different children and grown ups. They the enemy of ignorance and darkness is and are confused. We are not confused god is on our side from now on forever but this maoist can we put in god we trust on our rupie?
Congrats to the new to-be president Obama.
@ Dinesh Wagle: Best of luck for your new duties in New Delhi.
it is good that obama have won.but we should not jump of joy because it will bring change only in america.it can be inspiration to many people around the world.until and unless a dalit become primeminister of india or janjati or people of so called lower caste become primeminister of nepal.these thing only becomes discussion topic for Nepalis.Nepais should take inspiration from this event and work accordingly.
Dinesh, I had to laugh about your mother’s comments. But Obama is by far not the first black politician. There are many. The governor of the state of Massachusetts, Duval Patrick, is black. Many American cities have black mayors. There are black members of both Congress and the Senate, not just Barack Obama. I’m surprised Nepalese aren’t aware of this. Yes, he is the first black President. Then again, he’s mixed race. And, in reality, most African Americans in the USA have some white blood. Thomas Jefferson had children by his slave mistress, Sally Hemming. Unfortunately, because of their skin color, most African Americans had to choose to associate with one race or another. Many in the past who had whiter skin tried to blend into white society. But most (like Obama) couldn’t. I also have to comment about your mother’s remarks about the skin color. My friend from Kerala told me when she was at university, there were African students, and sometimes they were not treated well and called names. She said, why? Some of her fellow Indian students had darker skin than the Africans! Mark Twain said that our finest piece of clothing is our skin. Perhaps now more people will remember that.
one more comment, Dinesh. I don’t think the credit needs to go to voters of one race or another (white or black). Most Americans I met were looking to choose the best candidate, and race was not the issue. I think the whole race issue was way overblown. those of my son’s generation (he’s 20) are so multicultural today. Race is simply a non-issue among the younger group of Americans. In addition, American is in general a much more multi cultural society. Hispanics outnumber blacks as the largest minority group in the USA today. It was a diverse group of Americans of all races, not just white, who voted Obama into office. but the one thing we all have in common is, we are Americans, and we deeply love our country.

“As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
“And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.
“And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.
“To those - to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
“That’s the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we’ve already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
“This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that’s on my mind tonight’s about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta.
“She’s a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
“She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the colour of her skin.
“And tonight, I think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
“At a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
“When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
“When the bombs fell on our harbour and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
“She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that ‘We Shall Overcome’. Yes we can.
“A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.
“And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.
“Yes we can.
“America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves - if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
“This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.
“This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
“Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.”
Obama’s Victory Speech In Chicago
“Hello, Chicago.
“If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
“It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
“It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled, Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.
“We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
“It’s the answer that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
“It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment, change has come to America.
“A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Senator McCain.
“Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he’s fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.
“I congratulate him; I congratulate Governor (Sarah) Palin for all that they’ve achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.
“I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
“And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady Michelle Obama.
“Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the new White House.
“And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother’s watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
“To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. I am grateful to them.
“And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best - the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.
“To my chief strategist David Axelrod who’s been a partner with me every step of the way. To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics, you made this happen and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done.
“But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.
“I was never the likeliest candidate for this office.
“We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements.
“Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.
“It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give 5 and 10 and 20 to the cause.
“It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy, who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.
“It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organised and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth..
“This is your victory.
“And I know you didn’t do this just to win an election. And I know you didn’t do it for me.
“You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime - two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
“Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.
“There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage or pay their doctors’ bills or save enough for their child’s college education.
“There’s new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.
“The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
“I promise you, we as a people will get there.
“There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can’t solve every problem.
“But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it’s been done in America for 221 years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
“What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.
“This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.
“It can’t happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.
“So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.
“Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.
“In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.
“Let’s remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.
“Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.
“As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
“And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.
“And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.

The Case Against Barack Obama: Part 1
by Larry Elder
10/16/2008
Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama promises to “cut taxes for 95 percent of American workers.” That’s not possible.
Why? More than 30 percent pay nothing in federal income taxes. Obama comes up with this number by calling tax credits “tax cuts.” One can debate whether these things are good or bad, but they are not tax cuts. McCain offers refundable tax credits for health care, as well as other credits, but he doesn’t insult the intelligence of the American people by calling them “tax cuts.” When Obama’s credits go to people who pay no federal income taxes or who pay less than the value of the credit, they are not “tax cuts.” They are transfers of money from one pocket to another, or redistributions of wealth, but they are not tax cuts.
Republican candidate John McCain should tell people in real, human terms how hiking taxes on the so-called rich affects us all. My friend Nina is a self-employed interior decorator. She just met a prospective married client, whose husband works in the entertainment industry. The client may pull the job because of Obama’s impending tax cuts. Nina makes well under $250,000, lives in an apartment, has no maid, and drives a midsize non-luxury car.
But the couple she hopes to get the job from face a tax rate of 39.5 percent plus increased Social Security taxes, on top of higher taxes for capital gains and dividends.
In promoting his tax cuts, President Kennedy said, “The soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the (tax) rates now.” When Kennedy says it, it’s Camelot. When Reagan says it, it’s trickledown. By the way, Kennedy cut taxes by 22 percent (reducing the top marginal rate from 90 percent to 70 percent), and Reagan by 60 percent (top marginal rate from 70 percent to 28 percent). The “unfair, pro-rich” Bush tax cuts that are set to expire? A reduction in the top marginal rate of approximately 7.5 percent. A recent headline in Agence France-Presse says it all: “Sweden Announces Income Tax Cuts to Boost Jobs.”
On spending, Obama now says — as with taxes — he may defer some of it because of a poor economy. But didn’t he consider the spending “investments” that are “fully paid for”? If they are investments that “don’t cost” anything, why put them off because of a bad economy? If Obama’s been telling the truth, the ideal time to spend and to raise taxes is precisely when things are bad, unless they a) are not paid for and b) are not investments that will “jump-start our economy.”
McCain mistakenly put off-limits going after Obama for his 20-year relationship with his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. But Obama’s relationship with his “spiritual adviser” serves as a window into Obama’s character. During the primary season, Obama even called this a “legitimate” issue, but insisted he knew nothing about many of Wright’s radical views. Really?
In “Dreams from My Father,” Obama talks of attending the “Audacity of Hope Sermon” (pages 292-293). There is an audio book in Obama’s own voice reading this passage. Obama hears Wright speak of Hiroshima and Sharpeville as examples of acts of injustice. A personal aside: My dad, a former Marine, served as a cook in a segregated unit and was stationed on the island of Guam in anticipation of the invasion of Japan. The invasion never occurred because of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which military historians believe saved at least 1 million lives.
What is Sharpeville? In 1960, the South African apartheid government shot down unarmed protestors, killing 69 black men, women and children. Most of the dead were shot in the back, and nearly 200 more were wounded.
Obama felt no sense of outrage to hear Hiroshima and Sharpeville mentioned in the same breath. Indeed, he was so inspired by the sermon that he uses the sermon’s title — “Audacity of Hope” — for his second book, and as the theme of his campaign!
In “Dreams,” Obama tells of how he met Wright. Obama made an appointment at Wright’s church to meet the pastor. Wright was late. While waiting, Obama spoke with Wright’s assistant, a single mom whose husband had just died. She told Obama that she intended to leave Chicago and move to the suburbs to escape the violence. She also wanted her son to attend a better school. Her son, she said, wanted to join a band, and his school didn’t have one. His future school had a band and free uniforms (pages 280-284). “‘He’s always wanted to be in a band,’ she said softly” (page 281). When Obama told Wright of his assistant’s plans, Wright said he tried to talk her out of it. Why? Wright argued that the boy “won’t have a clue about where, or who, he is”?! Obama joined the church.

Reality is the world is not white black only it would be an interesting topic apart from Michelle Obama did go to Harvard, to really see how the politics empowering underprivileged classes work.
Nepal may need these policies, directly educational. The few european countries who privileged the underprivileged have greater sucess in social cohesion integration of diverse ethnic groups.
It means give media jobs, train journalists from different walks of life.
Do not expect a sharma to understand a rai every day let the rai speak for herself. Do not believe the men know what women want the country to look like.
This takes years of training the womens movement comes from the time of the french revolution, and is still denied by advancing role models of plastic people but not this time. We love Michelle Obama because she is real- a very romantic story as well.
Comining from the country of Hollywood I am not surprised. The alaska hockey mum and the senior veteran do not appeal to so many.
So maybe this consoles nepalese loosing classes and they can get the old brain working as to how Nepal should democratically BE????
50%female ministers. dalits and so on.
Not only kc and sharma cum suis.
They are a necessary evil against racial and gender hatred. It took so many lives and invisibility to get right here were the colour is suddenly a sign of decency not a black man is only a homeless, a misplaced african
Maybe not everyone is familiar of the tremendous real racism I witnessed when I was in Chicago 30 years ago. Harlem, the ghettoes. Always a small minority of black role models succeeded in Hollywood and so on. The majority?
Blacks are known as drug addicts, blues singers. And yes forgetting Louisiana twice helped all realize they will not see us ever until we paint the white house black.
Personally I am glad we have educated people in one of the two most important powers in the world. Bfore Bush became president he was known to be stupid. Not because one is the son of a president he could not have been just a golf player.
Basically it is also the victory of all of us who never knew where or whom we have been .
We all came a long way.
Defenitely one can expect more understanding of this president for nepalese process as emancipatory process on the way to democracy as well.
I would only help women in Nepal who feed families.

while dinesh wagle romantacizes Obama’s victory, the communist terrorists also known as the maoists are turning this nation into a full fledged people’s republic of Nepal- a communist state– wagle should be more worried about that.
Wat difference does it really make for us???whether kaale wins or gore??Really…
yes the dalits who had to drink mud water and are still refused to share a well Lahan in kantipur today.
your chetris and brahmins and all of those going along with it.
By the way a muslim journalist suggested america put a black president because it has lost global goodwill, I think so.
On CNN it was mentioned not to take pride in lack of education, there is one entire nation called Nepal that should cut out agressiveness and racial hatred towards each other, women and dalits.
archeology the long march into the institutions in UK jamaicans call it denial of institutionalized racism.
In french philosophy we say poser le problem identifying the problem, I think ignorance.
We are all children of mother earth the name of sharma and kc does not mean you have the right to refuse drinking water to dalits. You deserve a dalit president. And pray he will not be muslim too.
stuff backfires.
Frist of all let me congratulate Barak Hussain Obama for creating the history in America.
In my openion american have got the real path by choosing Obama as a president. There is no mattter of white and black. After all he is an american. Yes there was a feelings of racism in america but now its no more.
To be any country fully developed and well educated it shoul be free of any feelings and that the american have shown to the world.
Country like our Nepal also should have to take lesson from americans.
Our country is facing a similar kind of problem which black in america have faced earlier during the time Martin Luther King.
In our country also we should not have to be trapped in racism feelings of madhesi and pahadi etc. After all we all are nepali and should be proud to be a nepali.
We should work together for a single nepal to make our mother land more beautiful, fully developed and well educated.
I wish we will move forward with this thought.
Jai Nepal.

i have 2 things to say -
Nepal needs a young, visionary, progressive, inclusive and inspiring leader like Obama. We need technocrats and not dogmatic ideologues to deal with the challenges of 21st century.
Politics must transcend gender, race like in US which it seems will never happen in Nepal. With business as usual, and a handful of Bahuns ruling the country, inclusiveness will only be a lip service for a long time to come.
Fact that Obamas mamma was in microcredit in Indonesia makes him the real person, micro credit is the solution for developping countries.
His mother was a fascinating character, because we all look at the wife but who made him is Mamma.
She was like an anthropologist very nice hard working person. He has a half sister called Maya working in Hawai. The mothers second husband was Indonesian. So he went to Borobudur and this gives him a buddhist influence, and his dad has a muslim name Hussein. Somehow he symbolizes nearly all religions and colours. if he did not exist we would have to invent him, he also knows poverty he has been there as well as Joe Biden.
I think people need to have lived a certain experience to be more understanding.

I have never seen any thing more pradox than like of our Gurung Patriot.
He sounds to be young educated and World champion Racist….he tries to talk clever and blame Bahuns for everything….
Fucking asshole…do you mean that all the other caste in Nepal are good except Bahuns and Chettris?
Your style of judging the people is very primitive and it shows that you are incapable to do anything but blaming others.
Get a life…..my blood boils when a Nepali like you talk about racism in Nepal…..we have many different kinds of people in Nepal….
first thing we gotta do is to learn to live with each other before we talk anything Big…..Or am I asking too much?
I don have anything to say but i loved readin all the comments. Everyone has something to say. Great.
Did America elected Barack Hussein Obama Because they truly care about people in Iraq or Afghanistan or the rest of the world?
Will they elect Barack Hussein Obama if they are still getting Cheap gases for their SUV and their Economy is going great gun?
You will be fooling yourself if you believe that Obama was destined to win irrespective of wall street collapse in September and the subsequent U.S. Recession. And beside Obama will jump to centrist policy once he sits in the oval office faster than you can say “Chattanooga”.
Hope Dalit and Janajati will also get chance to rule in Nepal, not only brahmin in this republic democracy.
thanks
Hail !!! Obama
