Obama, Hamilton - color no bar

Finally, USA gets a black president! The last time this happened, a meteor was on the way to strike earth. And a Hollywood actor saved the day....

Obama seems to be an ordinary guy. I mean, he does not have the glamour associated with a Reagan, Kennedy, Clinton, etc but seems to be an ordinary man-off-the-street who has struggled his way up and got through. Want to see how he will do.

Two black people have made their way to the top of the world at almost the same time - Obama and Hamilton. Lewis made it through in the very last gasp. I almost thought he did not make it and was very happy for Massa. Then Massa's dreams shattered...

Haven't been in touch with Indian politics lately. But then, I was never interested much anyway. Recently, read a web article - Advani to get a makeover - as he bids to become India's next Prime Minister. I mean to say, what!! Isn't he realising that this may never happen? But then I thought, if HD DG can come out of the blue and become one, why not Advani? And if Sonia Gandhi almost became one, why not Advani?

I find Indian politics more interesting. You find all kind of people (sorry, jokers!). Good, bad, ugly and, eunuchs too! But, though i am not a fan of LK, he is much better than MMS and cunning Sonia. Yeah, you got it right - it's the "who's better" game here.
