Obama, Obama, Obama

He is all over the news. Entire centre page of Hindu is about him. This is ridiculous. We don't need to know what dog the first Afro-American President of the US will have. We don't need to know if he will stick to his blackberry. May be it is a little interesting to see the US president go hi-tech, but surely it doesn't merit an entire article on Obama and his blackberry.

It seems very lame that the world summit to tackle the economic crisis should go without any substantial resolutions because Obama is only the President-elect now. For a person who talks so much about change and hope, he needs to do more and needs to do it now.

And finally, it irritates me to no end that he appointed Madeleine Albright as the contact person for relations with India. Madeleine Albright and India go back all the way to 1947. That is surely not a way to change things. Especially when Ms. Albright is a very hated figure in India.

This way, his honeymoon will be over before he becomes the President.
