Maybe, after his visit to India, Obama will start wearing a dhoti and bare his top like Gandhi did and "pay for those 600 rooms with the money he made from selling his books." :)

The fact of the matter is that Obama is not as much as welcomed there as Bush was because he is a strong advocate of bringing jobs back to the US. Additionally, the nuclear issue is proving to be a big thorn.

While Obama has remained consistent on these two issues, the Indian leftists want the jobs to remain in India and hence dislike Obama. OTOH, they like Obama's stand on the nuclear issue where he is trying to water down the nuclear deal that Bush signed. And that is the quandry of Indian politics.

Manmohan Singh is a great leader. And why not. He is a academic luminary and a former Indian Fed Chair. It is very telling how INdia rose to be a great economic power under his leadership and the leadership of another academic luminary, the immediate predecessor of this President.

Maybe we should add to Obama's list to find out how in a predominantly Hindu country, a Muslim ex-President, a Sikh PM and Roman Catholic Indian woman of Italian descent (Sonia Gandhi) have come together to put India on the G-20 map and made it a economic power to the extent that we are now talking about making India a permanent member of the Security Council in the UN.
