Dear Santosh,
Obama has always been a closet Hindu-he appointed Sonal Shah to a high position
inspite of Opposition from the Indian American secularists.She was accused of
RSS links.He also has admitted carrying a Hanuman idol at all times for good
luck.
Last month his administration announced that it had appointed Preeta D. Bansal
to serve as the Vice Chair (Government Official) of the Council of the
Administrative Conference of the U.S. (ACUS). Ms. Bansal’s appointment follows
closely on the heels of a similar announcement last week, of Nisha Desai
Biswal, who was nominated to the post of Assistant Administrator for Asia in
the
U.S. Agency for International Development.
When their appointments are confirmed, the two women will join the large and
growing club of Indian-American and Hindu Obama appointees, which already
includes Rajiv Shah, Administrator, USAID, Vivek Kundra, Federal Chief
Information Officer and Aneesh Chopra, First Chief Technology Officer.
There are rumours in Indonesia-that his mother secretly baptised him as a Hindu
in Bali and probably this explains why his half sister is named Maya.
Now one hears that he is behind the conversion of Julia Roberts to Hinduism and
that the movie Eat,Pray and Love is financed by Islamic Sympathisers of Obama
from the Middle East and Kenya.
Watch out-there are rumours that India's God Kings will accompany the Obamas to
Tirupati during his visit in November.
Cheers
Vasant
