If you are a Tamilian, then you would read or at least heard of this twenty centuries old epic, Silapathikaram. If not, check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kannagi.
As it goes in a Tamil cine song, had there been no Madhavi, then we would not be talking about Kannagi today; no epic would have been written to praise the virtues of Kannagi!
Had the American political and financial situation been different, had Mr. Bush not been there to screw up things for America, I don't believe a person from a minority community could have made it to the top. Lets face the reality! What is Mr. Obama? First generation immigrant? He was not even brought up in America during his formative years. Relatively inexperienced; less than five years as a law maker. And of course from a minority community. Who would have thought of this man becoming the president.
We have heard of people who destroyed their family (marriage) trying to shore up their career. How many of us have heard of a lady who saved her marriage to shore up her career? How was it possible for Mr. Obama to win over Mrs. Clinton who started out with a strong backing of the majority's support? If not for the mess supposed to have been created by Mr. Bush and the battered image of America all over the world and the possible American-guilt for the unwanted gulf war and cruelty to prisoners, I dont think Mr. Obama would have taken the most solemn oath!
The Americans and many around the world are waiting for a miracle! Poor man, no stress at all! I wish him all the best!
