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

Posted on 11/27/2008 1:25:47 PM PST by tobyhill

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.

Flames and smoke gush out of the historic historic Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai on November 27, 2008, one of the sites of attacks by alleged militant gunmen. Up to 100 people were killed and around 100 more wounded in coordinated attacks by gunmen in Mumbai with two five-star hotels among the targets of gunmen armed with powerful assault rifles and grenades.

Why is it his first challege? He is not the president and has no powers to do anything but sit back and watch like the rest of us.

They are going to gush on and on and on about "what a hero Obama is" for doing what Bush has been doing for the last eight years, namely, keeping the USA from being wiped off the face of the earth. They make me sick. I hate the press. This is Jimmy Carter redux. I can see it now--when they're not praising him, they'll be making excuses for him.

I don’t even understand why Obama is even concidered part of the equation. Shouldn’t President Bush be doing something? I mean sending prayers their way...definitely not money.

He's outta control with the press conferences and addresses. It's the Clinton Years all over again. Like Clinton, I think the sound of his own voice pleases him.

Don't worry, He will. He hasn't been knocked off His Throne, no matter what Obama, the press and their father the Devil say.

Not to mention that the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus train station (aka "the CST" and pre-1996 as Victoria Terminus) is one of the busiest train stations in the world and (ahem) a World Heritage Site. It's quite an impressive building.

Boycott them......never, ever, watch or read them...tell your friends how biased they are...many I know don’t know that they are receiving not news but propaganda...get the word out.

Write the advertisers...tell them you won’t buy.

We are in a war, we have to wake up and realize the country and the original meaning of the Constitution is at stake.

>>>>. Like Clinton, I think the sound of his own voice pleases him. <<<<<<

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

The man has no sense of propriety or respect for the office, the Constitution, or for his fellow citi...... errrrr, I mean..... for the voters.
