Manmohan's strogest reaction to terror attacks in India yet

Once again the Indian PM makes a mild statement condemning the horrendous attacks in Mumbai. I don't really know what the scale of attacks must be for him to use harsher rhetoric.
Oh by the way no talk his incompetence in providing basic security to India.

A few dead and Indians start complaining

In the wake of recent attacks in Bangalore and Ahmadabad, the mood of the Indian public has been tense. Fortunately India has been blessed by outlandishly capable leaders who have led the country to its present condition fighting against a billion people who are stupid and lazy. One of them is the present Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. He is sometimes unfairly blamed as being utterly incompetent in managing India’s security. Anyone who reads the news knows well enough that Mr. Singh’s record is not discouraging. Below is a list of all the major attacks and the prime minister’s responses:

29th October 2005 – Bomb kills 62 people. Little known Kashmiri group claims responsibility.
PM’s comments: Please keep calm.

7th March 2006 – Bomb kills 14 Hindu pilgrims in Varanasi.
PM’s comments: Please keep calm.

18th May 2006 – Suspected Islamic militants kill 35 Hindus in Kashmir.
PM’s comments: Please keep calm.

11th July 2006 – Bomb blasts kills more than 180 people in Mumbai.
PM’s comments: Please keep calm.

8th September 2006 – Bomb blast outside Mosque in Malegaon kills 31 people.
PM’s comments: Please keep calm.

18th February 2007 – 68 passengers are killed traveling on a train from New Delhi.

12th May 2007 – 9 people killed in bomb explosion near a Mosque in Hyderabad.
PM’s comments: He could not comment. No time.

25th August 2007 – Twin bombings in Hyderabad kill 44.
PM’s comments: Please keep calm.

14th October 2007 – Bombs explode in Ludhiana killing 6.

13th May 2008 – Bomb explodes near Hanuman temple. 63 killed.
PM’s comments: Please keep calm.


31st May 2008 – Police defuse a bomb. None killed.
PM’s comments: Are you kidding me. Dude you got have at least 10 dead for some response from him. 0 dead does not deserve any comments.

4th June 2008 – Bomb explodes in Thane. 7 injured.
PM’s comments: No response

25th July 2008 – Bombs explode in Bangalore. 2 dead.
PM’s comments: Please keep calm.

26th July 2008 – Bombs explode in Ahmadabad. 49 dead.
PM’s comments: Please keep calm.

At this point we have to understand that Prime Minister Singh has done an outstanding job of being consistent. He always sends the same message irrespective of grim the situation is – “Keep calm”. Now if you were to make these many mistakes in any job, you would have been fired a long time ago but the consistency and the absolute lack of any pride make Prime Minister Singh an “unfirable” candidate.

His absolute disregard, for the hundreds that have been killed, increasing boldness of terrorists and unthinkable sadness that victim’s family members undergo, are overshadowed by his calm demeanor and consistent message. The same demeanor which often is construed as utter weakness by many has been even negatively commented upon by many terrorist organizations.

One of them even went to say “Bombing India is like screwing a whore, now-a-days you don’t even hear a whimper. I guess Manmohan is a good pimp, but we are not having any fun. We at least want some heated rhetoric. If this is the case we will stop bombing India.”

Meanwhile a senior Congress party official claimed “That is the plan. We will let terrorists screw India to a point where they are tired of screwing India. Then they will leave for a different place.. We in the congress have a joke about him. Most politicians have a moral fiber that is pretty thin like silk, but Singhji has a single thread. He absolutely has no shame in spite of his myriad of failures. Our brave and fearless leader, Manmohan Singh, is the right man for this job. People have to be patient.”

American Economy in a recession. Americans urged to consume

A recent spate of events dominated by the sub-prime lending crisis has led to fears that the American economy might go into recession. The capable leaders of this great country have decided that it is time to direct the bovine and uneducated masses in the right direction. A wide array of politicians led by President Bush are once again urging Americans to consume.

"Buy, buy, buy" said one Politician and when informed that the median American family income is about $43,200 he commented "Well if they don't make money they must be lazy and what the hell happened to credit cards or taking money out of house equity? More over I don't believe we have anybody in this country who is that un-patriotic"

Analysts are hoping that the American Public hears this message and starts consuming. James Fairbanks the III rd, an investor, said "We are expecting Americans to dip into their savings or trust funds. If not investor confidence will be shaken. You would not want that to happen would you. It could lead to very bad things".

The American Public opinion has been very varied on this topic. Teshawn Williams, an employee of Burger King in Atlanta, said "Where the hell can I get money to spend. I'm ready to spend it if I have some. By the way 145 dollars is not going to cut it for me. I ride in style. Why can't we get tax money from the Mexicans. My girl Shanequa also needs money. They don't take no food stamps in a lot of places."

Although there are varied opinions about the American economy and all the experts expressing their thoughts seem to be supremely confident about their ideas. From my stand point I don't really care as my existence is so well insulated by other problems that the impact of the economy will be least bit felt.
