Obama camp attacks Hillary's Indian links

A lot is expected out of the President of the United States or even a presidential candidate. This attempt by Obama campaign to tarnish the image of the "Indian American" community has irked me. I do not like to write off a presidential candidate at such an early stage of campaigning. I am indeed getting closer to take Senator Barak Obama off my list as a serious contender for the post of the President of the United States in 2008 elections.

There is nothing wrong in criticising a politician's links to a person or a business owner or a special interest group. However, it is shameful that Senator Obama's campaign is not only targeting the Indian state of Punjab but also the Indian American Community at large. We don't deserve to be treated like this. Targeting a community is purely a racist move because not all Indian Americans are democrats.

Dear Senator Obama, come 2008 your name is unlikely to be on the presidential ballot because you are engaging in dividing the American people among ethnic or racial lines.
