Deficiencies of Barak Obama are slowly unfolding!
Months ago, I felt admiration for Obama for the straightforward talk and the fresh blood he represented in American politics.
Now, his overconfidence and inexperience are coming to the fore.
In taking on his political opponent he made some attacks smacking of reverse racism, a mistake not so dissimilar to that of his adversary.
Some months back Mrs.Clinton tried to woo Alabamans by stating that she won't be surprised to see Mahatma Gandhi running a gas station. Did it appeal to her listeners?
Definitely not. Later, I asked a friend from Alabama about it. His reply surprised me.
“Forget about Gandhi. What did she think about us. Wasn't she indirectly stating that we Alabamans are racists?”
Now, I am amused when Obama accused Indians of financing Hillary's campaign.
And this racially discriminatory comment from a guy who is running to be the most powerful head of state in the world?
This reminded me of the drama played by some pilots of one airline to whitewash their part in 9/11.
They handpicked Indian Hindus to be thrown out of airplanes to show that they are doing their patriotic duty. As if Osama Bin Laden was a Hindu!
By the way, are we picking on Indians just because they are all Gandhis? Whipping boys least likely to retaliate. Then that smacks of cowardice.
As for Indians, are they a numerically superior group in USA? No. Are they a financially dominant group? No, except for some individual successes in Silicon Valley.
Trying to impress me by picking on racial groups is the last thing I want from a Presidential candidate. As my friend from Alabama said, indirectly he is branding me as racist or reverse racist like him.
That is the last thing America wants.
