Mumbai Attack is Obama's First International Challenge (MSM handing out Obama's "challenges")

moved to Mumbai six years ago from New York City, and I have seen India change with each terrorist attack. Wednesday night's attack will prove a defining turning point. India will go from being "resiliently defensive" to "resolutely offensive."

To understand the impact on the financial capital of India one needs to know the unique place the Taj Mahal Hotel and the Oberoi Complex (both the Oberoi Trident and the Oberoi) play in the fabric of the city's life, especially for its professionals. The Taj Mahal Hotel and the Oberoi Complex are not just the Four Seasons and Pierre of New York City. They are Mumbai's lifeline and blood.

I want to know why Obama didnt prevent this in the first place...and why he has been so slow to solve it.

Obama is not POTUS so it has nothing to do with him.

[MartinStyles]

This country is going to find out what it’s like to have a freaking pussy as president.

Nobody who voted for him knew what the hell they were doing.

[Salvation]

Joe the Biden warned us, didn’t he?

[Glacier Honey]

How right you are friend. The MSM will hail him as a hero for every little thing he does and overlook the mistakes until it is too late.

But on the other hand, they could and would turn on a dime and then he won’t know what hit him and he could be tarnished and brought down just as fast as the MSM crowned him and made him a celebrity

[Charles Bronson Forever]

Agreed! Sheet, at least Hillary woulda been a bit tougher on these thugs. In the short run, Uncle Sam’s in deep freeze.

[Nik Naym]

I am getting sick of hearing the MSM act as if the Chosen One is already president.

Can the media shove its nose any farther up this guy’s rear end?

[CyberAnt]

Sorry .. Bush is still President .. and Obama is just president-in-waiting.

Until Obama takes the OATH OF OFFICE - HE HAS NO POWER OF ANY KIND.

I wish his overeager staff would get the message.

Zer0’s fake “Presidential” seal and fake “Office Of The President-Elect” are waaayyyyyy over the top and are signs of egomania and narcissism.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Don't you recognize a coupe when you see one?

Someone is definitely going to end this game, and when it happens, keep your head low!!!

[The Great RJ]

Obama’s first test is yet to come and will be a major attack on US soil. In response look for strong rhetoric, begging the UN for help and appeasement.

[BenLurkin]

They would never have happened if Obama wasn’t the American President elect.

It’s Obama’s fault.

He votes “present.”

Why is this a challenge for Obama? For the USA? Muslims have been waging Holy War against the state of India since 1947. India is a big country. Let the Indians handle this. The business about the attacks targeting Americans is largely media hype. Yes, luxury hotels catering to foreigners were attacked. But the jihadist killers also attacked a hospital for destitute children and a rail station used by local publc transport users.
