Obama has won the US Presidential election. Democrats will now occupy the supreme seat of power at Washington for 4 years to come. The election of Obama as US President is sure to cheer many Indians and needless jitters to few others. There are prominent issues that were a matter of debate till yesterday, will come to the forefront with a renewed force. An issue that really matters every Indian: Will India sustain its privileged position as the outsourcing destination for US industry.

For sure, outsourcing is to catch more momentum, and the winds of change will favor India. Why I am saying this? To put it other way, what makes me to say this? When we find the few fellow Indians getting jittery of Obama coming to power, as they prophesy could spell bad news for BPO and IT firms in India. These needless concerns will appear baseless, if we take an eagle’s [bald eagle] eye at the changes to come.

Obama is no doubt concerned about protecting the interests of US citizens, who have over-flowingly elected him to power. But, so far, his ideas and ideals as expressed at different public meetings never aimed to disturb political stability, world peace and financial strength of US or of any world nation. This is crystal clear.

Market research conducted by international research institutions like Tecnova showed that 82 percent of Indians expressed choice of Obama. The quality work delivered by Indian firms at lowest price tags much to appreciation of US firms puts the seal of assurance that the new administration can never resort to any initiative that jeopardizes US economic interests. Similar will the deal with issuing of H1B Visas. In the present times when US economy is in prolonged crisis, cheap labor is increasingly in demand more than earlier. This is sure to put pressure on the administration to issue more H1B visas, which major stakes for Indian workforce to gain.

The five IT majors of India - TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Satyam and HCL have more of cheers than of worries in the coming days. Obama has already hinted at what is to come in terms of the administration’s deal on outsourcing. At the 2008 Democratic National Convention (DNC) Obama has categorically said of stopping tax breaks to companies that are sending jobs offshore, and extend the same to companies who create jobs in America. IF THESE LINES ARE CLOSELY READ, the really spiced meat to come for Indian IT firms becomes evident. Either way Indian IT industry emerges winner.

So, shall we all jointly announce loud cheers for Obama. Welcome President!!

Energy Queen asked:


Economic Score

This measures how much the candidate believes government should intervene in people’s economic lives. Economic issues include retirement funding, budget allocations, and taxes.

A high score (above 60%) means the candidate believes in personal responsibility for financial matters, and that free-market competition is better for people than central planning by the government.
A low score (below 40%) means the candidate believes that a good society is best achieved by the government redistributing wealth. The candidate believes that government’s purpose is to decide which programs are good for society, and how much should be spent on each program

Obama scored a mere 18%

How is that so? If a White canditate went to a church where the preacher or priest or even rabbi was openly screaming his rascist views he or she would be “lynched” by the media for any sort of association. It is absolutely bonkers to think that Obama is allowed to slide on this issue! Why is there such a horrible double standard? Isn’t rascism and biggetry wrong for everyone? Or is the Black community immune to such high standards?

shop2early asked:


McCain is still trying to raise doubt about Obama. Obama will reassure people, who is. Obama, will reiterate that he is not going to raise taxes on the middle class. I can’t wait to give a listen. I have already voted for him, but I plan on listening anyway. I like to hear him speak. Your Thoughts?

Francis

Dog Eat Dog asked:


An Iran with nuclear weapons would lead to nuclear proliferation throughout the MiddleEast. The Saudis, Egyptians, and Turks would seek nuclear weapons to counter the Iranians. How far would Obama go?

Ender asked:


Our economy tanked because there was too much easy money and easy credit available. So far the solutions are “more easy money and easy credit”.

Does Obama have any proposals that will actually benefit the US economy long-term?

Note: This question is about Obama. Not Bush. Not McCain.

Liberal AssKicker asked:


Aren’t tax cuts a purely republican strategy?

Didn’t Reagan and Bush both use extensive tax cuts to boost the economy at the beginning of both of their first terms?

Has Obama gone “Reagan” on us?

Valerie S. Green asked:


One thing that astonished me so much about this whole election was how Barack Obama was able to inspire not only black people, but people of all races! The way this country is and the negativity of seeing a black person at such a high position, it was amazing how a black person could have such a big influence on whites, asians, hispanics, etc. I thought to myself, that is the way I want to be with people. When people hear my name, I want them to light up and be inspired by me the same way that they were with Obama. On my current job, I get great compliments from mostly white people which is shocking to me because I’m a young 25 year old black female. I asked myself, what is it about me that makes these people feel good enough to strike up wonderful conversations with me or tell me how great and kind I am? I figure I must have that Obama glow about me.

Honestly, there was a part of me that thought that some white people would change their mind about voting for Obama at the last minute and vote for Mccain. The day after the election when I saw all of these white people celebrating Obama’s victory, I was really amazed. I started thinking about all the things that I’m trying to pursue and pictured myself standing somewhere giving a speech and having that many white people excited about the things that they see this young black girl from Fayetteville, North Carolina achieving. I may not have been that into the election, but I do have to say that Barack Obama has inspired me to attain that same charisma and greatness in reaching my goals.

Right now I am just another unknown person and that’s okay because I know that if I stay focused on what I need to do and continue to share my story, one day someone will come up to me or write me and tell me that reading my blogs inspired them.
