Here comes the hot-stepper... cold

I’m in a clear minority when I say I believe Barack Obama is not a good president. And I am in a super-miniscule minority when I say, I preferred George W to Obama.
Many a get-together has ended with people sniggering as police had to escort me out of the venue for my own safety.
Successful political leaders are often linguistically challenged (English), poorly dressed and not socially networked.
Especially in developing countries.
But urban India likes its leaders to be well-spoken (English), well- dressed and on twitter.
Which is why middle-class India loves Obama. And the Shashi Tharoor-kind. Pah!
