By not returning the prime minister’s call<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In continuation of the ‘snub’ to India, US President-elect Barack Obama today spoke to Chinese President Hu Jintao. Till now, Mr Obama has returned calls to 16 world leaders, including Hu, but as reported by The Statesman on 8 November, the “snub” to the Indian Prime Minister continues.
\nThe Ministry of External Affairs however maintain that they are unaffected by Mr Obama’s call to the Chinese leader and points out that Mr Obama will call the Indian Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, in due course of time. Officials insist that too much is being read into these telephone calls and this is not an indication of the strength of Indo-US relationship which remains strong.
\nThis, however, does not explain the fact that as of 8 November, when Mr Obama called the Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, the Indian government had maintained that Mr Obama was returning calls only to countries that were having of some military alliance with the US. Officials in the MEA had particularly pointed out that both China and India had not received the call since both did not share a military alliance with USA. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wasn’t the plan to heal the world? Put a new face on America so that the world would love us now that Bush is gone and we gave the world the leader they wanted?
\nIs it naivete or some master plan where he intends to embarrass our allies and embrace our enemies? Either way, you certainly didn’t elect the most diplomatic guy<\/a>, did ya, lefties?
