[Assam] Obama : Anti-Immigrants ? Should go back home in a box?

[umesh sharma]

Hi,

Since many of us seem to be Obama fans amongst us or atleast Democrats (those in the USA - NRAs) and are always criticing Iraq War etc and blaming Bush, I have a question. 

The question is not mine. Actually, it is from a couple of students of mine , who are now in the US. During our dinner conversation at their first Indian (NRA) the students  started discussing politics, one worried that if Obama wins the election then he would stop all H1B work visas which they aim for and I am on right now. They seemed to have followed tha race pretty closely. I do not access to TV.

However, yesterday I was at McDonalds sipping by iced coffee waiting for my job to start and then came Obama on CNN tv channel. Saying all sorts of stuff about healthcare, tax and what not, blaming the Bush govt for giving millions to corporations etc. Along came an old guy (perhaps from an assisted living housing nearby), might be eighty, shaking and walking. He just looked at Obama on the TV and said, "He should be put in a box and sent home."  Then the gentleman looked at me for approval and and nodded along. Again he looked up at the tv at ceiling level and  repeated ,   raised in hand , pointing with his fingers as if taking aim. And said , "shoom!!"  blew him away. I merely smiled and wondered if realized that Obama  couldn't be sent home (I could). Obama was born the USA.

any comments?
