"World class TV professionals" Madhu Trehan, Barkha Dutt, Prannoy Roy, Karan Thapar? Is B. Raman serious or joking? Especially after one of them has been exposed in the Radiagate as being little else but a crooked fixer.? The antinational proclivities of some celebrity TV hacks is well known. If this is the writer's perception of professionalism, he'd better admit he's a card-holder of the Kangress. Jaganniwas
Obama will be knocked out on Foreign policy as he has bee a total failure. Romney will fry him on his insistence that the recent Islamic protests and killing of the US ambassador has been due to some silly video. Obama also promised the world that the "future doesnt belong to people who slander the prophet of Islam"..the question is who is he to override the American ideal of free speech?????
Unfortunately India doesnt even hv a language to conduct such a debate. English would definitely leave most candidates out as very few are proficient in this foreign language and rightly so. Therefore, we could never ge the punch line or the zingers, nor the nuances that would truly reflect Indian conditions.
the TV personalities you mention are a bunch of biased bullies rather than anchors. Most seem to be in the employ of the Islamic mafia based in Pakistan & Dubai. Karan & Barsha among these are despicable.

Right. The issue was the Romney-Obama debate, and any analysis - though it would be subjective in nature - should have stuck to their debate and the good or bad of it. Who asked for opinions of India's paid and politically recruited media hacks or their glorification?
You think Indian Journalist can stand for 5 mins in front of anyone together.....Even they do not have understanding of subjects before going for debate...Out of them only Karan Thapar seems only out of lot.....
Romney right now for him to overcome with whatever insight, comprehension or debating skills he has or allegedly has!
American commoners, living in recession for more than 4 years now, have begun responding to their situation like they have rarely done before.
America has long been the self-styled arbitrator of the human rights records of nations, the presumed citadel of free speech, of democratic dissent, of liberty in criticism, of a pioneering press, of bi-partisan approaches to civic issues, of supreme protection for the citizen's right to assert himself, etc. When the world was shaken with indignation at the atrocities committed at Tiananmen square, it was the voice of America that rang the shrillest and loudest. It was there for all to see and convince themselves how the US was one nation where such an atrocity could never be contemplated!
The US kept true to its committed burden of proving itself to be the sole guardian of the individual's right to express dissent. Its long monologues at every available half-forum to convey to the world that no other nation could be half as indignant as itself for cases such as Bosnia, Kurdistan, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Iraq and North Korea had come to be very very predictable and with very predictable follow up 'actions'!
And it is to such a 'holy' land of such enviable descriptions that the same blight of the smothering of public resentment (that the US had along accused certain other nations to be exclusively

guilty of) had to now infect itself!
Public resentment with the US administrations' (both the Bush and Obama ones) response to increasing unemployment, cutting back of social security provisions, dilution of public healthcare plans and above all giving away gigantic sums of money every year to gigantic corporations in the form of never ending tax-cuts and loosening of regulations began simmering as early as two years into the recession in 2010. This resentment finally began showing itself in the form of the now famous "Occupy Wall Street" and "We are the 99 %" slogans of the fall of 2011. However poorly organised these protests were, they captured public anger to a good extent that some disruption of the ever taken-for-granted ways of America's wealthy in the latter's holiest shrines such as Wall Street looked increasingly probable!
And that was the moment when America suddenly and unhesitatingly cast off its 6 decade old pretensions to being the dissenters' paradise of the world!
As the chaotic "Occupy Wall street" movement began gaining momentum and began eliciting favourable echoes across more and more regions of the country, the administration swung into action against the protesters. Overnight, the masses that had camped themselves on the vast grounds before Wall Street were told to pack up and leave, given two hours for doing so and when they failed to move, were swept away with water cannons, tear gas, liberal use of the trunche

truncheon, bulldozing of tents and a general notice that further attempts to mass together under the same pretext would be treated as contempt of civic rights to public space and proceeded against 'sutiably'!!
The world leaned forward and stared in disbelief as the US principally did the same act that China did in Tiananmen in 1989! That the 'action' was limited to water cannon and truncheon in place of the guns that boomed in Tiananmen did not in the least take away from the hilarious irony that presented itself about America's hypocrisy with principles!
One year after "Occupy wall street", news reports have started surfacing about the reawakening of the movement, this time across tens of American cities - many in the vast hinterland, the mid-west where the crunch of joblessness and reduced social welfare have been hurting the most.
Considering the above situation, the Republican party, which is the custodian of the 'good ole core American values' which essentially means taking complete refuge and laying complete trust in the arms of big time corporates, must start as the rank outsider in the presidential contest. Its long cherished ideal - that of jettisioning the cause of the middle class (America's poor) in the name of 'growth' - cannot be brought out from the wraps. It cannot dare talk about further loosening immigration or a further fillip to offshoring of jobs for very obvious reasons.

Under the circumstances, the Democratic candidate must necessarily start as favourite to retain his job (though he too has been actually guilty of pushing thes very same policies).
the People of America should realise this that such situation was created so that it will influence the President election. It was just similar when Americans were killed in 9/11 by their own Administration (undercover) to attack Arab Nations..
Are you safe America.. when your own People are killing their own populations for their own benefit.
Whether Obama wins or loose.. it will be your loss if the successor of Bush administration gets to rule you..
Remember the World is now Awake and Alert.. America will not be able to influence the Comity of Nations..
1. US needs Leadership that can create a systems that will check the migration whether illegal or legal migration.
2. It can also works towads the Virtue Development so that the Economic need in America to be filled by American Population only.
3. America needs a Leadership that can have a congenial relationships with the World Nations.. In the Bush regime the America won enemies and criticism for the World Population.
If America follows the same Bush policies to captivate others' nation resources thu strategic measure, then it is likely to have a CIVIL WAR in America since America is boiling.
Whosoever America chooses the President.. it must be sure.. the time of NOT good for them..
So, Be WISE Americans.. do not repeat what Bush has done to destroy the economy of America along with International Relations..
