I cannot understand AMERICA! I can never understand America!
Pls read my first diary in daily kos and the reason why i feel so now!
I am from a middle class family in INDIA.I am working as manager in a MNC bank. I have never been to AMERICA or ever will be in AMERICA. I chase more dreams and have more responsibilites on my shoulder than wat i should.
I HATED AMERICA FOR ITS SUPER COP ROLE AND FOR ACTING AS A BULLY! I WANTED AMERICA TO LOSE IN EVERY SINGLE SPORTS, IN INTERNATIONAL ISSUES.....
But ever since OBAMA stepped in springfields in Illonis i have been reading every single website following American polls. I have watched an d am watching every single video that has and is been posted about obama..i have cried hearing him speak. I actively participate in mailing my friends (INDIAN AMERICANS) asking them to vote for obama. I know about every single swing state and its counties every single gov or rep of USA..I follow polls of all good/bad/stupid pages just to take a joy in seeing obama up..my day goes bad if obama is trailing in some polls or if he makes some blunder just like the clinging or likeble enough comments
WHYYYYYYYYYY?
its because of obama...he has inspired me to believe in myself...if a man of his background can be a nomine for US president then everysingle person can achieve his dreams...
i believe in obama..i have seen most of politicans and their false committements and talks..somehow i feel obama is true...i feel he really believes and means what he says..
i love US and i love my fellow humans..its not bush approval rating alone that has hit rock bottom in the last 8yrs its also USA s image among other countries (including INDIA) now i strongly believe obama can change that..
The great change he has brought in USA politics bringing in millions of youngsters..its no mean feat..if the same happens in INDIA we would be challenging US as super power :)
Biden----loose cannon but a truly inspiring person.
mccain and palin...i am sorry but i believe they are bad/cheap than THE WORST politicans back home..
Gore/kerry..i wanted both to win but they could not...atlast i feel i wont be reading about a last day florida or ohio flop story.
DAILY KOS...Guys you are just great .i want to bring in somethin similar to DAILYKOS in India. Keep rocking DAILY KOS!
hOPE oBaMa wins..and hope u wont mind this INDIAN reading/commenting and posting in DAILY KOS.
AND THE MORE I READ ABOUT OBAMA, THE MORE I READ ABOUT AMERICA AND THE MORE I ACTIVELY READ DAILY KOS....I UNDERSTOOD THE TRUE AMERICA..
I UNDERSTOOD AMERICANS...ALL MY MISCONCEPTION ABOUT THE LAND AND THE PEOPLE CHANGED. I COULD TODAY RELATE TO MOST OF PEOPLE IN KOS AND TO PUT IT EXACTLY I LOVE AMERICA NEXT ONLY TO MY COUNTRY!
LONG LIVE THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA! LOVE YOU!
Thanks Kossacks....Well i cant invest much capital (in dollars) for obama to win) so tried investing some capital (letters ) in my diary!!!
I just remembered JFKs famous line:
"My fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country."
Anyone and everyone doing their bit to help obama win...i say this from bottom of my heart...."well you are already doing or done something for your lovely country..."
I have no association with AMERICA nor i am gonna get anythin out of seeing obama as USAs prez., but if i spend 6 hrs a day right from iowa poll to read about obama and to see him win and pray for that...you should know wat obama means to USA and to the world....
Its been a month since i wrote them....lot of my misconception about AMERICA changed in the last six months...But i have few bigger questions !!!!
Can u Kossacks help me out??
How even after this stupid 8 years of Bush rule people could still be proud to be republican????
How even after knowing Mccain almost always votes with Bush people could still support him????
How could a national party select a person like Sarah Palin as VP? Such IGNORANT !@#$%
How could people still believe that they can win elections on SMEAR AND NEGATIVE campaign ALONE???
How could 40% of people still vote MCSHAME????????????????????????????
This should have been a blow out...A leader and a organisational team like Obamas would have won a landslide election in India....
Even after this big economic crisis, this high unemployment rate scenario if people could still forget them and vote on racial lines, vote on party line....i definitely could never understand AMERICA!
