Shakespeare ALERT!
We have a wannabe novelist coming up with headlines at the Indian Express. I’ve written before about the ridiculous amount of Obama mania in India but this is just getting out of hand.
About a month ago, after he was confirmed as ‘President Elect’ our country went into a huge tizzy about how he hadn’t made an official call to India and for days ‘pundits’ were weighing in with ‘expert opinions’ about it. ‘India is important’, ‘He will call us last’ Gimme a fucking break.
How many people who watched the inauguration yesterday know a single thing about Mr Obama? Quick question. Which group was the biggest single contributor to Obama’s campaign fund? Stumped?
It was the sub-prime mortgage lenders. Does the term ‘sub-prime crisis’ ring a bell?
Obama’s campaign finance manager?
Penny Pritzker. She used to be at the head of one of the larger sub-prime lenders, Superior Bank. Federal regulators closed the 2.3 million US $ bank in 2001. The bank’s borrowers and depositors suffered huge losses. The bank’s owners (Pritzker included) of course, could still end up making a profit from the bank’s collapse. There have been legal charges including allegations of racketeering levelled against them.
You think any of this will matter now that Mr. Obama is el presidenté?
No fucking way.

Hi Samreth,
Let it go! Just watch the hysterical reaction from the Indian media and the Indian Government, when the US Secretary of State and India’s darling Hillary Rodham Clinton announces that President Obama and the US administration are going to take an active interest in solving the Kashmir issue, once they withdraw from Iraq!
I am waiting to see that happen!! I’ll be laughing the loudest!
While I agree that for the US it is a historic occasion because a African American Muslim is now the President, the reaction of the Indian media mystifies me. Heck, we got a woman president, even if she’s Sonia Gs stool pigeon, but we never saw much high praise! Instead what we got were stories about how she believed in the supernatural and how she and her kin were all busy making money in Maharashtra.
