Few days ago, TIME magazine published an article that stated that India's PM Manmohan Singh is an "underachiever". I have no comment upon this article.
Today, Outlook, an Indian magazine modeled after TIME, has hit back at US pressure, taking out an article issue which had Obama on it's cover page, titled "The Underachiever". I am very happy to see the Indian media reacting in such a clever and witty way to TIME, which has recently come under accusations of being supportive to the views of US Govt.
Way to go people! I hope we don't cave in to the US and the rest of the west.
Obama was elected as President of the USA after promising a lot of things. Hope and Change were few of the "punch lines that were used" by him, also cashing in on white people's guilt about their black past.
But Obama has done little or nothing. Somehow, he has managed to become a Nobel Peace prize laureate (even though he has continued Bush's strategy in Afghan and Iraq). Now that the time of election in America has arrived, will his "lofty rhetoric" (as the Outlook has called it) work?
