Obama creating waves

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

Obama is a phonetic twin of Osama, the architect of 9/11 that brought out the beast in Bush, which trait filled more than a couple of million graves in Iraq. But Obama, the reed thin US Senator who links two continents , is the new darling of Democrats who have seen nothing but blood in the last 8 years of the evil affliction of Osamanified Bushism. Barrack promises CHANGE , a beautiful word in America, to which 90% parents in India consecrate their children. Why didn’t you export your son and daughter to that paradise?”

“I hope Barack will stop this Indianisation of his country that leaves the locals with no cushy jobs. If he packs off the foreigners, his hobos will get the jobs now collared by the imported IT wizards. A chap who came here recently to see his parents , wished the moment he landed that he hadn’t because he couldn’t understand the dust, noise, and the flat his old doddering parents were living in. All their 5 children had left the dodderers here with loneliness for company. One of them visited me, without fixing an appointment, a capital offence in USA. He said ” Aunty, I feel free again here without any imposed restrictions on human conduct. In USA, I daren’t go to a friend’s house without his previous consent. It’s so artificial , but now that I have become a citizen of Bushland, where people think that dollars grow on trees. I do hope that Barrack will wield the stick and save the dreamers of India from the feeling of being foreigners in that country.”
