Obama knew the oath by heart, which is why he stopped/waited for the Chief Justice to word the oath correctly. The perfectionist that he is, he insisted on taking the correct oath, as its worded in the constitution, the day after.The Chief Justice of course has been severely criticized thereafter.<BR/>Secondly, totally agree with you on the Sanjay Dutt and his wife(read leech) drama. Wonder if they`ll get away with this. Did you know that Manyata thinks that those who havent adopted their husband`s name are not really married but in live-in relationships?!!! :) wanted to do a post trying to persuade people not to vote for them. But then again, are the other candidates any better?

Sorry. <BR/><BR/>No offense, Shobhaa-ji, I admire you for saying what is on your mind. And it is rare to come across someone with such a strong sense of self and enough confidence to say more than what is simply "politically correct". However, sometimes, I think you tend to be a bit too picky. Of course, he didn't mention Sikhs and Buddhists in his speech... but that doesn't apparently imply that they don't count. Obama cannot stand up at the podium and rattle off all of the religions in the world. There are so many. <BR/><BR/>So please, never stop speaking your mind, but go a little easy on the criticism. Most of the things you say are grounded and credible, but when you get so nit-picky - it's just illogical. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I will admit that I am skewed in my perception, perhaps that is why I am so prudent to feel that your criticism goes overboard when Obama is concerned. <BR/><BR/>I am OKAY with the fact that he got nervous and messed up while taking the oath. <BR/><BR/>His humanity was apparent in that crucial moment. <BR/><BR/>Obama was and is hailed for so many things on his famous, successful track to the Presidency. But the fact that he messed up shows that he is human. <BR/><BR/>And it was a memorable moment in my eyes. Not a let down. <BR/><BR/>It's OKAY to mess up. <BR/><BR/>We are all human. <BR/><BR/>It's great to have high standards that drive us to greatness, but at the same time, let us acknowledge that is OK to stumble. Without many many stumbles, the world would have lost many many success that owe credit to previous failures. <BR/><BR/>cheers, <BR/>- sydneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-30279352032582360472009-01-25T03:24:00.000+05:302009-01-25T03:24:00.000+05:30His speech has been interpreted more accurately in...His speech has been interpreted more accurately in serious newspapers like NYT.

Indira Gandhi was a woman PM- women are still the secondary citizens in our great nation- that is the difference.Negativity, well, it seemed like reality, unlike the empty rhetoric Indian politicians are full of- inded the very fact that a fraud like Sanjay Dutt with his archaic views on women can be listened to and not shamed for holding them- says a lot about how far as a nation, despite our "minority" leaders and "women" presidents we are.

In America, the President's Oath has been written in the consitution by the founders of the country and it upon the Supreme Court Judge to administer the speech. Justice Steven Roberts messed up in reciting the oath from the constitution to President Obama(not the other way around). If it's any conciliation, Obama retook the speech today. <BR/>Also, Obama brought up the recollection of his father because America still struggles with the issue of race and equality and he wanted to acknowledge the historical signifiance of him being the first president of color and from an immigrant father, especially since it was the day after Martin Luther King's Birthday. I admit his speech didn't live up to people's expectations, but then his speech wasn't terrible either. People just expected too much from his speech. Also, I do believe his speech was a positive reinforcement. The plight of the American economy is getting worse day by day. It would be nonsensical for him to paint a happy-go-lucky message to the public. The American public elected a president that would face reality not pretend like everything is okay and make a big mess out of it like Bush.citizenoftheworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05465649554262779028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-19218443014899399082009-01-23T07:50:00.000+05:302009-01-23T07:50:00.000+05:30It wasnt't Obama who fumbled!!!
