So awesome. I saw the live streaming the other day...whether or not you are for Obama or what he's doing right now, it is AMAZING to see a president recognize another culture/religion like that and it shows at least some progression towards greater acceptance of diversity in America.

Yea man forget the fact that he authorized Napalm to be used against innocent kids and civilians in Afghanistan and burned them alive (oops I forgot, they changed the name to White Phosphorus since it was outlawed) because we are 'fighting terrorism', and rewarded corporate scoundrels for fucking us working class up the ass (yeah in case you forgot it was HIM and HIS secretary sitting on a desk handing blank checks to AIG executives) .... forget all that .... this is what makes a good president, having meetings about health care (that obviously go nowhere), going on Jay Leno and talking about how 'mad' Wall St makes him (oops totally forgot how they elected him and he sucked their dick in return the minute he got into the White House, but nvm that he's so mad at them) and wishing the Indians a happy Diwali ! Nice !

NICE! So is there something constructive you have to say, because you just described "Politics"

Bush did but he never lit diyas and invited a pandit to the White House.

it was a really good gesture that will probably not only help indians in america connect with our president, but may even give him a few new voters and boosts in satisfaction polls. Smart move politically, small effort, and I don't think it means anything more than what it is: a respectful Happy Diwali from the nation's leader to a large body of constituents.

Shoutouts to my boy Dhruv (back row, navy blue tie)! I'll have to throw another party for you for this when you come back to Cleveland to visit again!
