… is now the President of the United States of America.
A bumper-sticker I saw on the road this morning summed it up succinctly: “2008: End of an Error.“

Probably, by the end of 2012, you may see a bumper sticker summing it up “2012: End of an error”. People would have realized the error in giving their mandate to Obama.
Obama is bound to further screw up US’s foreign policy. First, Bush’s flawed policy of establishing democracies in the muslim world and now Obama’s so called policy of respect, equality and friendship with the Muslim world.
In general, in the muslim world, only muslims are treated with equality. Is it possible for any President to push for equality in Saudi Arabia or Iran or even Malaysia?(either internally or in their foreign policies).
You are confusing foreign policy with dabbling in the internal issues of other countries.
The internal policies of countries is, well, their internal matter. While the US can raise its voice against inequalities that exist in other countries, that is about as much as they can do.
@VK: “You are confusing foreign policy with dabbling in the internal issues of other countries.” … as far as US is concerned… both seem to mean the same since Nixon. And exactly what error does his election rectify?? If you mean slavery/segregation, you are just trivializing it by implying that those errors are rectified by giving a mandate to a half-black man (whose ancestry in US apparently is limited to his immigrant father, and hence not touched by either of those issues). If you mean the end of the general perception of racism and the end of race-related issues in US, then I have no words to describe how insipid that conclusion is.
@Arvind: “End of an error” is a play on the term “end of an era”. What era? The Bush era. An era characterized by… well you know what Dubya did and did not do.
So this has nothing to do with an African-American becoming President, let alone bigger questions about race. The only thing relating to race here is the racist, bigoted thoughts in your mind, as is quite evident from your rant.
To quote a not-so-unfamiliar source, “I have no words to describe how insipid” you can be when blinded by racism. Or it could just be that you are an idiot through and through. For if you had read the comment above from Srinivas, you would have realized exactly what this was about.
If you have a mirror in your place, go look into it and say aloud “I, Arvind, am a fool.” Repeat it. Thank you.
