NEW YORK: Barack Obama's historic win in the presidential election opens the gates for Indian American politicians like Louisiana Governor Bobby Jin dal to enter the White House in future, the Indian community in the United States said as they congratulated Obama.

Sending congratulatory messages to the president-elect, Indian American organisations and community leaders hoped that the Obama Administration in the White House would herald a new era of relationship between India and the US.

"The last few years under the Bush administration has seen the ties between US and India grow ever stronger and that culminated in reaching the historic Civil Nuclear Agreement between these two nations. Indian national Overseas Congress (INOC) expects to see the relationship further strengthened under an Obama administration to new heights," said George Abraham, INOC general secretary.

Jindal 2012.

It's time to start snatching up our own minority voting base, so we can play the race card...starting with Jindal taking Vice-Fuher Biden to task for his comments

One of the major problems is a question of loyalty. Where American has been put at the end of the ethnic chain. Is it Indian-American or American of Indian descent?

Dear India,

You are not Marxists

You are not Muslims

You are not America-haters

Since you meet exactly none of the only 3 criteria that matter to me...piss off.

Barack Obama

Setting aside the fact that Hussein is half white, then Arab with only a drop of African blood, it NEVER was about race.

Clearly the author considers the color of Obama’s skin a more important factor than the fact that Jindal is a Republican, which should tell you all you need to know about the author’s grasp of American politics.

Absolutely.

My idea is use humor and satire. I’m not white, I’m European-American! Use extreme political correctness to the point that it is more annoying than usual.

Bobby Jindal is an American of Indian ancestry. So if he is on the ticket in 2012 then he is definitely loyal to the USA. He’s also honing his executive skills cleaning up after years of incompetent Louisiana democraps.

I’ve been waiting for Jindal since 2003. But my worry now is the media will do a number on him and make him seem stupid. I think they especially want to destroy an minority/woman from the right. How can that be prevented?
