Obama and Singh
*copied from my personal LJ/commentary LJ*
So tonight, President Obama is hosting his first state dinner.
Black tie affair, blah blah blah, guests from his early supporter list including Rahm Emanuel's brother in Hollywood, blah blah blah....
Here's the main kicker:
it's with India's Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, a well respected economist and supporter of expanding India's free-market policies, and the father of India's economic reform that helped get it out of bankruptcy in the 1990s.
Here's to hoping he doesn't fuck up the Indo-US Alliance anymore than he already has done so far this past year, basically tearing up all the legwork and groundwork that President Bush did.
*puts in Indian carrier for LJ pic for reference*
People may not like PResident Bush for some things, but for me, one of the reasons I still respect him was that he did more to improve relations between the world's oldest democratic republic (USA) and the world's largest democratic republic (India) and emerging power than any other US president in history. He recognises the value India is to the US as an ally. Obama seemed to write off India like many other Democrats have in the past, only focusing on Pakistan -_-.
So yea, here's to him not fucking things up.......
