Indian Communists Make Exception for Obama
What do Indian Communists know that most American voters don't?
“Since I was told that the communists have been a part of mainstream politics of India throughout, I feel really pleased to meet an Indian Communist.” Barack Obama told Communist Party of India (Marxist) Politburo member Sitaram Yechury at the Rashtrapati Bhawan banquet as they were introduced and both shook hands.
Yechury told Obama that the Indian communists have been in the political mainstream "throughout".
Marking a departure from their past practice, leaders and MPs of the CPI(M) and the Communist Party of India I, both militantly anti-US stance, attended Obama's speech in Parliament on November 8.
Just a couple of old comrades gettin’ together.
What a neat comment from our fearless leader! ;p
Oh, thoooose kinds of ‘Indian Communists’! I was thinkin’ “Geroni-Mao”.
In India they are honest and call themselves Communist. Here they go by the name of “democrat.”
I feel ill. I know his love is with the evil communist movement, but still, it makes me feel physically ill that we have a president who would do this.
