Abraham Lincoln Must Be Smiling!

Win or lose, Obama’s candidacy is good news!

Is it not amazingly heartening that American voters have become color blind ? Majority of white male voters are supporting the black candidate Obama. Also majority of brown voters (Hispanics) are supporting the white candidate Hillary Clinton.

What a refreshing thought it is to observe that Obama does not have to prove that he comes from a certain clan or from a certain province.

This reminds me of Dadabhai Nooroji who was elected a Member of the British Parliament in 1892 with the full support of white voters. His election was soon followed by the election of two more Indians to the British Parliament. Dadabhai was the mentor to young Jinnah and Gandhi.
