From the above article, ''You found time to call Pakistan," chided Azhar Usman, a visiting Indian American stand-up comic performing at a New Delhi college campus Sunday. "Why not call India?" he said, wagging his finger. "We are waiting."''

Obama did call, he dialed one of those computer companies 800 call centers, but they wouldn''t put him through to the second tier to fix the problem. They kept blaming some other software problem, not their''s.

Theya are on TOP when it comes EDUCATIONS. Americans are actually stupids when it comes to studies of science, biochemistry, robotics. THE FUN PART IS THAT WHEN IT COMES TO REAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE SPELLING CHECK GRAMMER ... IT IS ALWAYS AN INDIAN OR ASIAN THAT WINS...

India, please don''t worry. You are a great ally. Right now Pakistan is a serious problem and requires a great deal more attention. What is important is that both India and Pakistan put their decades old border dispute in hibernation for now. Everyone needs to be focused upon getting rid of this disease of extremism that has swept this part of the world.

Obama should have an U turn on Bush and Rice''s Indian policy, what they mean by win-win is for only India and for the Indians. American should use China and Russia and Japan to counter balance the Indians, because they are full of themselves.

India is too sensitive about their nationalism. And they complain about Pakistan all the time. What, your Indian students did not get enough free rides in American universities is that what? Mr. Obama should be extra careful when dealing with the Indians, their selfish and pride drive their egos through the roof.

Maybe he had a computer issue & called Gateway''s tech support. After hanging up he probably thought he killed 2 birds with one stone.

you mean the pre-election flipping wasn''t enough...how about the flipping immediately after his acceptance speech...or 2 days later. Flipping is a given and it isn''t a surprise to any one except those who swallowed.

Considering that many Indian Americans with their new found money supporting whole heartedly for McCain and his (phony) tax reduction (also against Obama bacause he is black), it is surprising that many indians are now feeling slighted by Obama.

Although many Indians celebrated Obama''s win as historic, some said they were nervous about his views on outsourcing jobs to India. Obama has said he would offer financial incentives to create jobs in the United States. There is also dismay over the idea Obama has floated of sending a third-party mediator to the disputed region of Kashmir.


India. You have nothing to worry about. The only types of jobs Obama will create will be government jobs. Obama will run corporations out of America and right into your hands. Not to worry India. Keep moving.

Offshoring to India is the number one job killer in USA. That have been the main reason I voted for Obama since the primaries.

This piece of news is typical media drivel.By raising the "issue " of Obama not calling India the Indian leftist press is just trying to needle the Manmohan Singh government there.Otherwise, Manmohan is the kind of guy who will have a dozen Obamas for breakfast.

BTW, which of those photos is Obama? I mean, I''''ve seen him in many turban photos, so I''''d like to be sure.

The more Republicans talk, the more they become irrelevant...
