We cannot ruin our nation after the freedom we have received on Nov
4th. As friends of Obama we need to be hard on him, tough on him in
his early decisions. We cannot let him go far that we cannot
straighten him.
Sonal Shah, one of his advisors is claimed to have fascist
connections. The piece has appeared in media, one of the respectable
Newspapers. We have to look at her individual record and not that of
her family members. Individuals do wrong (or right) and not their
families or faiths. I hope Sonal is clean, but it needs to be
affirmed, one bad apple can ruin his administration.
We need to watch Rahm, what we read and hear about him is not good.
Obama needs to put him through some tests if his heart and mind is
open towards other people. We need to know if Rahm is prejudiced
against Palestinians, if he is, he will be an obstacle to peace in
the middle east ruining every chance for the Israelis to have peace
and security, and continued hopelessness for the Palestinians. We
have had bad policies in the Middle East for the last sixty years, we
cannot continue with them for another sixty, it is time to change now
and yes we can.
Peace in Middle East is a reality if justice to both the parties is
ensured. We need to be a catalyst for a realizable hope for
Palestinians and genuine security for the Israelis, where both people
can drop their guards and feel safe. Sixty years have gone by because
of the policies of Palestinian, Israeli and American leadership. It
has to change; the "Justness" element has to be included now.
I hope the people at FOX will do something good finally and wash away
their sins. Let them be hard on Obama, to ensure beneficial decisions
are made for our country. Meanwhile, we have to build a strong
opposition to prevent Obama to become the Unilateral Bush with such a
mandate. The purpose is to have a clean administration. Let him take
the bloody time to put people who are inclusive and respectful of
every human. We can't let short-sightedness creep in.
On the international front; what is good for America has to be good
for the World and vice versa to be sustainable. We cannot have
advantages over the others; they are deleterious to lasting peace.
No VHP links, our family condemns Gujarat riots, says Sonal Shah's
brother - We have to give her the benefit of doubt; however, it must
be verified. We have a chance now to create a better world for every
one of the 6.5 Billion of us and we should not compromise.
Update: I just watched meet the press; Valerie Jarrett, the leader of
the transition team was eloquent in her interview and re-assured that
the appointees will have "an inclusive approach" towards problem
Solving. I am however disappointed in Tom Brokaw for not pinning down
for the specifics of that approach include.
Obama team member has Sangh links
This is a serious one. Write to all Americans and congress about this
matter. Mosi is a persona non grata and this lady devil should be
ousted from America.
Obama Team Member Has 'Fascist' Sangh Links
U.S. President-elect Barack Obama may have cultivated a left-of-
center image for himself, but Sonal Shah, the Indian-American advisor
in his transition team, has well established rightwing leanings.
The 40-year-old economist has been associated with the overseas
activities of the Sangh Parivar. She was a national coordinator of
the Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America campaign to raise funds for
Gujarat earthquake victims in 2001.
Her father Ramesh Shah, a vice-president of the Overseas Friends of
the Bharatiya Janata Party (OFBJP), had campaigned for LK Advani in
Gandhinagar during the 2004 Lok Sabha elections. He had also briefly
traveled with Advani during his Bharat Udaya Yatra, countrywide
election tour.
Sonal's brother Amit and sister Rupal are now based in Ahmedabad,
running a voluntary organisation, indicorps. Its website says its aim
is to "engage the most talented young Indians from around the world
