Uncle Sam: Welcome to African-American House

From the last 3 days and I know this will continue for many more days we have been seeing on our newspaper about the American Presidential Election. After reading about it so much I had to give it respect. Well almost on every page of the newspaper we had news about this with interviews from Barack Obama or John McCain. And today with Obama’s victory the newspaper i.e. DNA dedicated 9 full pages out of 22 in the main supplement. Even the Business and Page 3 was not left behind. I seriously don’t understand the hype that media is creating about this. What do they want to prove? Ok I do understand that he being the first African-American President makes a big statement. But does this require so much hype? Can’t we do away with a page or two? Or is there shortage of news? Quality news by Indian standards. I want back:
1. Raj Thackeray hitting Bhaiyyas
2. The terrorist Sandhavi’s deeds
3. Interviews of stock broker’s wives about their husband not having sex because of global meltdown
4. Peter Andre his wife and their family planning

I have seen people around discussing about new president and how will his relationship be with India. What I feel whoever would have come would have had same relationship. The world is flat. And I would want to take away praises from Obama. I know what he has achieved is great. When you listen to this man what you get is a positive feeling and energy. With George Bush around for 8 years most of the time what we felt was dullness. But this is a positive Change. But what we forget is that although it is a victory of a person, more importantly it is victory of a philosophy. The Democrats; And as per my small survey on wikipedia democrats have not been in power whenever there has been trouble like The Great Depression or Vietnam War or WTC and Iraq war to name a few. So it could be interesting to see a democrat leader providing leadership through their philosophy is one of the most hurt times. With everything down and under be it the stock market or property or growth etc and with terrorism at its peak what will Obama do will be interesting to see.


Now let’s finish this as soon as possible. I want the real news to come back on the first page and not lagging behind. They form the real crux of Indian News.
