If you go by a poll conducted in Pakistan, despite the kind of ‘investment’ Obama has done in Pakistan, America is still perceived as the number one enemy in that country. Let me tell you for a fact that this will not change for at least the next few generations. If that be the case is there any assurance that the govt in Pakistan will keep overlooking the general public opinion? Remember, how the strong public opinion forced even a president like Musharraf to quit? Actually Obama can thank the fundamentalist parties in Pakistan who have not yet whipped up this very strong emotion prevalent amongst the populace of that country. But things can change very fast in case they actually do.

Given the rate at which Barrack Obama is bowing in front of monarchs I’m really sacred about his back. First to the Saudi King and now to Emperor Akihito. I hope he has consulted his doctors while indulging in this back breaking exercise. I mean we can’t really have an American President with a broken back. Can we? His planners too have to be really careful so as not to include more than one meeting with a monarch in one visit. I mean one BOW is okay but BOW BOW is bad and BOW BOW BOW is disaster. It also conveys a very different meaning which I’m sure Obama would not like. Nonetheless by now Obama has actually perfected this ‘art’. So much so that he can now do it better than the Japanese. A perfect perpendicular BOW because of which Emperor Akihito could possibly read the label stitched at the back of Obama’s collar. But do you guys know why Obama keeps doing a BOW so often? That’s because he is Barrack Obama and Wife. That’s the real reason. Well, alright I admit. That’s a stupid joke. Just the same I wonder how Michelle Obama feels when she watches her husband doing all that bowing, one after the other. Thankfully for him there’s one monarch less in this world for him to bow to, Nepal.

There must be justice for 26/11. That’s what Hilllary Clinton said in Mumbai. Quite naturally, it’s the top news for our newspapers here in India, at least for Times of India. Alright, now that makes something clear. It clearly shows that America supports India in it’s fight against terrorism and wants Pakis to act against the perpetrators at the earliest. WOW!!!! What a revelation!! Is this what she came all the way to tell us?
