Thanks to Avijit for forwarding the short article that included quite
a few experts view. I wrote my analysis immediately after the
debate; therefore, I had no chance to read others' opinion.
Senator McCain failed to do what his diehard supporters wanted him to
do - a knockout victory. Senator Obama could have done better by
being aggressive. However, I think his advisers told him to behave
like a mild mannered politicians. And I think it was an excellent
suggestion. He came out cool, which contrasted very well with that
of McCain.
The election is 16 days from now. Like previous presidential
elections this one will tightened a bit; however, all indications are
that the independent voters who decide the fate of election will cast
their votes in favor of the liberal candidate, Senator Obama. Many
Republican pundits including Karl Rove know that Republican Party is
heading for a defeat the like of which was never seen before. The
forecast is not only Obama will be the winner on November 4 but the
Democratic Party's senatorial and House of Representatives candidates
will also win this time. If this happens, then it will be an
excellent outcome. Americans are finally fad up with Bush-Cheney
Administration. Also, the era of Conservatism spawned by Ronald
Reagan in 1980 will be over this year. The nation was governed by
conservative president including Bill Clinton who I considered a
centrist president who once parroted Republican's pet slogan - "The
era of big government will be over." The irony is that Ronald
Reagan, the Music Man, came to White House to make the government
small but he did expand the government with a bulging budget
deficit. The government became bigger and bigger under daddy Bush,
Bill Clinton, and Bush Junior!
The consequence of the rise in conservative movement in America had a
devastating outcome allover the world. The church folks in America
thought Ronald Reagan is their messiah and their influence on
legislative body (The Congress) also grew. This development
coincided very well with the rise in Islamic Fundamentalism worldwide
and sharp rise in Hindu Fundamentalist Movement in India leading up
to Babri Mosque incidence, Godhra massacre, rise in Bajrangi Dal,
Mayabati, etc.
I am hoping that Obama's win will give the signal to the rest of the
world that neo-Conservative movement allover the world had brought
divisiveness in the society. Please count how many conservative talk-
radio hosts are spewing venom in America. I am hoping that with
Obama's victory a great change will take place in America.
The "Moral Majority" who thought that liberalism is on the decline
will be surprised to see the growth of liberalism, humanism, etc., in
the campus and in American society.
Finally, I am tickled to death knowing what our deshi McCainites in
Mukto-mona will do after November 4th election. One person already
gave his sermon calling the liberals something I won't repeat.
It is also gratifying to many of us in this forum when we made our
forecast that Obama will become a dream candidate when most folks
thought the senator from Illinois had no chance defeating Hillary
Clinton. One of our deshi Republicans threw coldwater to our
aspiration while wrongly predicting that McCain will soundly defeat
Obama in the upcoming election. Little this fellow knew what was
coming in September 2008. Then, there was another deshi, a newly
converted to free market, who uttered the mantra of free market
economy. This person had no idea what is Keynesian Model of macro-
economics. President Franklin Roosevelt essentially followed
Keynesian Model to get the nation out of the depression. I am sure
Senator Obama will also take into consideration the teachings of John
Maynard Keynes (1883-1946), a British Economist who put forth the
idea that government's monetary and fiscal programs designed to
increase employment and stimulate business activity could be a good
thing for society. The conservatives such as Reagan thought the
government should have no role in managing economic programs to
benefit the society. In other words - the less is better. We just
saw in the last few weeks how the Bush Administration injected nearly
one trillion dollars to rescue American companies. Ronald Reagan
must be rolling in his grave now!
