Obama good for the world, McCain good for India

29 June, 2008

It is now clear that the next US President would either be Barack Obama or John McCain. Both are good leaders. But if Indian interests are kept in mind, then it is McCain who will prove to be more helpful than Obama.

NOW THAT Hillary Clinton has conceded the Democratic nomination for the White House to Barack Obama, it is clear that the fight for the White House would be between Obama and John McCain.

I am of the view that Obama is good for the world. He would try to pull out of Iraq if he becomes the US President, provided the CIA allows him to do so. He would not be spending billions on arming Pakistan and would be building bridges of confidence with Iran and the rest of the Muslim world. But he would definitely not be in India’s favour. He will not lend support to any nuclear treaty with India. He would not try to build India as a strategic partner in Asia against the Sino-Pak-Bangladesh axis. Most important of all, he would not be support outsourcing, on which the the Indian economy hugely depends.

So, that makes McCain a candidate whom India should look up to. He would try to salvage the nuclear deal with India and try to build India as a strategic partner against China. He may support Pakistan with an arms haul but would ensure that Indian interests are not affected.

Most important of all, he would continue to allow outsourcing, which is so vital for India’s economy. So, I would want McCain to be in the White House for India’s sake.

Singham, before you start talking about American teens being interesting in nothing but gays and lesbians, you ought to take a closer look at your own culture. Their is a MUCH greater prevelance of gay activity with teenage boys in India then any country. In fact, it is accepted that a great number of Indian boys are involved in gay sex...it's become a bit of a norm over there. The fact is, yes, Indian offshore resources are cheap, however, the education level of these resources (I am a senior VP at a major corp) is far inferior to the superior American's education. I am so sick of bringing on these Indian offshore resources that supposedly have a certain set of skills....only to find out that they barely seem to be able to turn a computer on! I'm also so tired of being told we have to be "sensitive" to their culter. Give me a break! Buy a bar of soap! Especially you Indian women! I've had to eliminate several Americans jobs fore offshore resources and then had to fire the offshore resources and beg the American resources back (most of the time having to pay out more money). America is and always will be superior to India. The people of India are still lost in the stone ages!!! Go Obama! Eliminate our ties with India completely!!!

Who is good for India John McCain or Barack Obama? There is too much debate on this issue but nothing seems to make much sense. The republicans are certainly pro India and Obama is clearly against outsourcing jobs etc. So what is apparent is that Obama is not going to be as Pro India as McCain . But is that all one should consider in making one?s judgment? I would say no. No matter what Bush govt has done for India the real benefit came only if the US economy could afford to outsource to India. The profits depended on how much US could afford to pay for the services rendered. Hence if the economy did not have the capability to pay for the services and products then even a free trade agreement with US will not help India. That unfortunately is the bottom line. So what is good for India and the rest of the World is a stable, rich and secure US. So who can keep his house in Order ? McCain or Obama ? That is what is going to matter to India. The short term goals have no relevance in this globalization era

True.....but outsourcing will not come to an end. Even so, an economy independent of the US is always good for India. John McGain is not only good for India but good for his country (that's most important for the US voters). But America is now filled with uselss teens most of them interested in Gay & Lesbianism and not interested on keeping their country strong. A week US is good for entire world and for that they need Obama and the author is perfectly right in that sense.
