I certainly believe yes, Barack Obama is the most popular man on this planet at the moment. After all it is no cakewalk being the President of one of the most powerful nations in the world. In fact even before he became the president of America, Obama was both popular and favorite of the masses as well. And the scenario, post his appointment as the president has been almost the same.

Even in India, Obama has won hearts of many. The news channels, papers and web just couldn’t stop raving how good Obama is going to be for not only his nation, but for the entire global world. Since the time he contested in the US elections, news channels have left no stone unturned in enhancing the popularity of Obama. He became the favorite of Indian citizens when the news of him keeping the statue of Indian monkey god- Hanuman, did the rounds.

There is no doubt to the fact that he is indeed the most popular man, seeing the kind of crazy coverage he has got in the media and the support he has got from people across the world. The media has been covering every second of his life-what does he wear, what does he eat, what his favorite sport is and what not! So much so, that they have dug deep into his history and got out the famous story of his life. And what a history he has had-from rags to riches-Just the perfect mantra to attract support from people of all the walks of life.

No wonder, even a small child from any country could tell that who Barack Obama is. And boy, the man has got guts! He has taken the most crucial responsibility in the world and that too in such a state where the entire economy is suffering a meltdown and terrorism is at its peak. All these factors have made Obama probably the most famous president ever. And just in case you need a proof, turn on the TV, radio or just go through web, social networking sites, and blogs or just ask your neighbor!

Do you remember the 11th September 2001? I don’t think that any one will tell NO for this question. Around 3000 people lost their life on that particular day in United States. The terror attack was performed by around 19 terrorists.

Second date was 26th November 2008. This time it was Mumbai, 10 people killed around 200 people and hijacked the financial capital of India for around three days.

You would ask me why I am discussing these dates. The prime reason was the incident which happened today in Lahore. A few people attacked the bus of the Sri Lankan team, in which around six players got minor injuries while one assistant coach and one umpire got injuries too. Around 5 or 7 security guards too lost the life in the attack.

Today was the black day for the Cricket, as this attack might have cost the career of these players like Ajantha Mendis, who is a quality spin bowler, and he got the bullet injury on his right hand from which he bowl. Other than Mendis, skipper Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sanggakkara, Chaminda Vaas, Thilan Samaraweera and Tharanga Paranavitana. Paul Farbrace who is the assistant coach of the Sri Lankan team also got injury along with the umpire Ahsan Raza.

It was not a simple incident, while it was a plan through which a few people would be planning to put pressure on two countries. They were thinking of either killing the players of Sri Lanka or hijacking them and then compelling the Pakistan and Sri Lanka government with their demands.

I don’t know why a few people dominate over the majority of people? Why a few people play the blood game and we are compelled to live our life with fear? Whether it is India, US, UK, Pakistan or Australia, everywhere lives of common people are not at all safe. Any bomb can take their live at any moment, or any bullet can injure him at any time. Who is going to save our life?

A few more matter of concern of the day was when a few terrorists attacked the bus of the Sri Lankan team, in between the city, and then they went off so easily. The place of incident was quite near to the Police Station; still terrorists eloped from the scene with easiness. The route of the Sri Lankan team bus was changed today, still the terrorists has the information about the route.

International community is really looking Pakistan with suspicious eyes. We hope that Pakistan will give strong reply against all these queries and will also take some strong action against the terrorists who are operating from their country.

Guy’s this is really surprising to see a news with 337 diggs and 97 comments but still it was not there at the first page of the digg. The more surprising thing which I found was, it was no where in the Hot list too.

337 diggs was something which can be attained normally if your news hits the first page of the digg, but in the case of this story they got it without reaching to the first page. Also these many diggs are achieved after 23 hours and 44 mintues of the submission.

You can see this image for more detail:

This story was on a full page advertisement in NY Times, the ad was on peace. It was an open letter to the new US President Obama. It starts with a great quotation of Martin Luther King Jr. “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”.

After this quotation the ad directly addresses the President Obama, and they congratulate him for his historical innaguration day. The letter then picks up a few points like:

End the longstanding blockade and allow humanitarian aid to reach Gaza.
Demand that Israel adhere to International Law.
Call for a lasting and enforceable ceasefire respected by all parties.
Reevaluate the $3 Billion of annual U.S. aid to Israel.

The letter was jointly written by the Muslim Public Affairs Councel - New York (www.mpac.org), United for Peace and Justice (www.unitedforpeace.org), Council on American-Islamic Relations - New York (www.cair.com), U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation (www.endtheoccupation.org), American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (www.adc.org), and LA Jews For Peace (www.lajewforpeace.org).

It was surprising that it did not reached to the first page of Digg. Something wrong is looking behind the Digg’s algorithm. Sometimes a news reaches to the first page by just getting only 45 or 50 diggs, and some time I have seen that news reaches to first page after the 24 hours of its submission. So some thing is really behind all this which can always tell you that it is not the decision of the Public to choose any news for the fp.

Barack Hussein Obama became the 44th president of the United States of America. With this Obama now became the biggest name of expectations through out the world. All eyes are looking towards this young President of US; everybody is thinking that he can change the world.

Change is the fact of the nature and Yesterday US too changed. New President, new Government and new expectations. The load of expectations is too high from this government of the Barack Hussein Obama. For the first time in the history of United States of America, a black President is ruling the country and this is the start of the change.

In India too corporate world is looking towards Obama, along with the political world too. I have never seen so much enthusiasm in between the common people, for Obama. He is truly becoming popular in India.

Yesterday Barack Hussein Obama took the oath as the 44th President of the US, while in his speech he mentioned the problems which US is facing at the moment. He mentioned that “Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age.”

He also mentioned George Bush for his service to the nation. During his speech he mentioned that United States of America is the nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers. He also mentioned that United States is the friend of all those people who are looking towards peace.

With the new President, let’s see how US can truly overcome the expectations of the world.

George Bush Junior bids good bye to the white house from where he ruled the United States of America for eight years as the 43rd President of the nation. He will be remembered for lots of bad reasons but as far as my view is concerned I don’t want to remember him for any of the bad reasons, I always want to remember him as the good President who tried his best to make friendship with India.

During his tenure Bush faced a few incidents like 9/11 attacks, economic fall out, war against Afghanistan and tensed situations with a few countries like Iraq, Iran etc. When he today left the Washington then he was considered as the most unpopular and divisive President. The reason was the economic fall out and the crisis which came due to this.

Obama gave his thanks to the former President Bush in his inauguration day speech and then Obama hosted the departure ceremony at the Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, DC. After this Bush and his wife Laura Bush departs of Texas on a helicopter.

Last year when Bush came ahead to make friendship with India, he got the immense popularity in India, which even he claimed in his last official speech.

In a latest update to the investigation of the Mumbai Terror attack, the US warned the India about a possible attack on Mumbai a month back only. As per CNN news, this sort of information was confirmed.

US have already warned the Indian government about a possible attack on Mumbai and they said that a group might enter the country by water and launch an attack on Mumbai. This is a sensible matter and Indian government is doing the damage control steps after the attack.

The relationship between India and Pakistan is worst affected from this attack. The army of both the country is at a red alert from last few dates. It is like an emergency situation in both the countries.

In an attempt to give punishment to the responsible persons, Indian government has already removed Mr. Shivraj Patil from the post of the Home Minister; on the other hand the home minister of the Maharashtra government, Mr. R. R. Patil too faced the heat. He has resigned from his post. Maharashtra CM Mr. Deshmukh has too reported to resign from his post, but the Congress party has not taken any decision on his resignation yet.

Earlier Pakistan government has announced that they will send the ISI chief to India to help the investigation process, but they later denied it. On the other hand they claimed that they had not received any evidence that militants from within its borders carried out the attacks. They are always saying that they will fully support the investigation.

Indian government has already warned Pakistani High Commissioner in Delhi about the evidences and it’s stance on the Mumbai attack. On the other hand Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan has also passing the strict message to Pakistan government.

On the other hand US have supported India in every aspect of the investigation. US secretary of state Condoleeza Rice is coming to India. This is creating some extra pressure on Pakistan.

A few day’s back I was wondering that Obama is taking the lead against McCain in the US presidential elections 2008, but I think now it is really hard to assume who is going to win the elections?

The arrival of Sarah Palin in the elections scenario has changed the scene. Her arrival in the campaign boosted the chance of McCain against the Barack Obama, the democratic candidate for the presidential post.

A few day’s back the economic scenario in US steals the lime light from the elections. The economy was crashing and I am not sure if the people out there are blaming Bush for this or not. If people are blamming Bush for the downfall of the economy then I guess McCain would have also face the heat.

US is trying to recover from the economic crisis and might be at the end of the day McCain will emerge as the winner. Obama too got one slight blow from the Indo US Nuke deal too. What I found that people are thinking that they like McCain because he will make good relationship with other countries.

Although Barack Obama sent one letter to Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, regretting that he could not meet with him. (For more detail please visit http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/oct/03ndeal.htm). People might think that he too will manage the same type of policies with other countries.

So I think it is really tough to guess who is going to win the presidential elections. I will be waiting for your views about this question: Who is going to win the elections? Whom are you going to support? Please post your views in the form of comments.

US-Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama picked up Sen Joe Biden as his vice presidential running mate on Saturday. Biden, an influential Congressman supporting landmark Indo-US nuclear deal, has not only served as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee across the last 30 years but also as head of the Judiciary Committee, with its jurisdiction over anti-crime legislation, Supreme Court nominees and Constitutional issues.

Obama, the first black candidate to lead a major US political party’s presidential ticket disclosed his choice after a long political suspense as other contenders gradually fell away, media reports said.

Biden, 65, who had suggested that helping India to meet its growing energy needs will be in the interest of the US is currently serving out his sixth term. He also ran for the 1988 and this year’s Democratic presidential nomination but dropped out. He was first elected to the Senate in 1972 at the age of 29.

But he has tolerated severe criticism from his Republican rival John McCain, a veteran Arizona senator, combat pilot and former Vietnam prisoner of war, over what Republicans contends is his lack of national security experience and his calls for a 16-month withdrawal of US combat forces from Iraq. His choice of running mate clearly is intended to counter some of that criticism.

Biden will make his first big speech as the vice presidential candidate on Wednesday, the third night of the Democratic convention.
