This fellow, Obama is robbing our pocket soles

In the eight months he has been in office, Mr Obama has snubbed India more than once. He has sent repeated signals that New Delhi is not integral to his Asian security architecture. Partly as a result of his country’s economic crisis, he has bent over backwards to accommodate China. His open advocacy of protectionism has been most visibly targeted at outsourcing of technology jobs to India. He headlined anti-trade legislation by saying it would punish those who created jobs in Bangalore rather than Buffalo, a special mention that was extraordinarily impolitic and did not go unnoticed in India. In contrast, the tariff war against Chinese tyres has not been posited in such stark bilateral terms. This past week, the Obama team reversed a decade of American nuclear pragmatism and went back to an outdated non-proliferation agenda that should have died, really, in the 1990s. Once more, India has been asked to give up its nuclear weapons and sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as a second-tier power. Most alarmingly, Mr Obama has swung wildly on Afghanistan-Pakistan (AfPak). At various points his diplomats and Generals have said different things. Yet, in all this the overarching political message has been missing.
There has been a remarkable absence of clarity on Mr Obama’s strategic goals.

Well, at the very least he’s a Muslim sympathizer. If you look at this in that context then it sorta makes sense. The allies of traditional US of A are not Obama’s allies and he intends to “fundamentally change” that.

Question for anyone who might know - on reading the whole article, it seems to be implying that India is against Obama supposedly cracking down on Iran’s nukes. They refer to a “stable” Iran. Am I just misunderstanding that part?
This is the part I am referring to:
“This formidable combination of wealth, geography, religious appeal, unending foot-soldiers and nuclear weapons would create a monster power straddling south and west Asia. To some degree, it could be offset by a strong India and a stable Iran, which would flank AfPak. However, Mr Obama is determined that Teheran must not pursue its Bomb and India should be pressured to sign the NPT.”
most Indian businessmen I know are actually very pro-Democrat and had bought into Bush Derangement Syndrome before the election. Guess the joke is on them.
I think Obama has lost a lot of independents, and that’s telling. I’ve seen 2 “Sorry I voted for Obama” stickers on cars around here.
1880’s!! Wow, what doctor are you using?
“Nice to see that the paper Kipling wrote for back in the 1880s is still alive and kicking.
It was known as a conservative paper then and apparently still is.”
Fascinating. I didn’t know this. I will check The Pioneer regularly. Good to know there are conservatives in India.
You are going to start seeing a lot more of this from Central and Southeast Asia.
One of the commenters summed up what is perhaps the general concensus of many here in Southeast Asia.
and that is...
"Who will respect a nation that has no respect for itself?"
It is as if the country could care less about any real foreign or domestic issues - the only issue that matters for America is race - and to prove that they are not racist, they elect a black man.
But he died in 1936, which isn't all that long ago.
Good article ... Thank you for posting it.
Yeah, I guess it's fair to say that they're not very happy with The One over there in New Delhi . . . .
India’s not muslim or communist enough (our dear Leader’s passions.)
Most Americans of Indian origin went for this bozo big time.
Now they can savor the anger of Indians when they go back to visit, LOL!
Nope, India is saying “I don’t know why you would elect such a bimbo. He wants to help the communists and the islamists, not America.” India would be happy if O left India AND it’s enemies alone, but if Oh bummer keeps supporting China and Pakistan, all the effort that George Bush put into the warming of US-India relations will be wasted.
Very succinct and pithy and accurate.
The people who perceive his performance as mistake-prone are naive.
Meant to add — Calculated destruction is more like it.
