Obama mama, you’re absolutely right in your assumption of where I’m from orginally. What I meant by my earlier post is I dislike both the country and its people.

New Zealand voted in a new government headed by a former forex trader. The party is officially right wing but in a New Zealand context right wing would be the far left in the USA. Many kiwis leave NZ for Australia due to better economic opportunities – nearly 10% of Kiwis live in Australia. NZ is a scandinavian style society without the economy and with a soft neighbour up north. Bloody foreigner They come here and take our jobs and claim our medicare and FHOG and the Baby bonus . What is worse that their favourite meal is still fush and chups.

Only activity that provides one with greater delight than kiwi bashing is pom bashing

new zealand just voted a right-wing government in after 9 years of progressive politics and a woman prime minister…v sad night

why sad? One of the best things that happened across the Tasman. NZ is so “nannified” that a new word is required to describe it. Time to roll back and ship some of the Kiwis back home.

OK you two down under, clue the rest of us in……

-- thought it shouldnt be needed let me explicitly state that i have the greatest admiration for BO and wish him and your country the best through his tenure. i observe so i can learn and voice a concern because (with all humility) i feel that there are so many people who have projected their expectations on him they must be let down now and urgently so in order to prevent resentment later --

In the past, populist Presidents had populist advisors and looked only at populist economic choices. Not true with this President elect. Both this current slate of economic elders and his original campaign advisors don't fit that bill.

i hope so. but in my opinion this president was elected for his unmatched ability to bridge the racial gap. it's right to ask about his management style and how he will handle his handlers. he demonstrates the right curiosity and leadership, but there's no training for crisis except for crisis itself. let's see. all the best.

You don't like people in India or you don't like people from India who are presently living in America (assuming you are from the USA, here)?

My guess, by the way you write, is that you are desi yourself, but you don't like other desis.
