Why did nobody mention India during Obama-Romney debate?

[Abhishek_]

@chinatoday Why would america debate on friendly nation?.... Have u even seen what obama and romney debating about china? They insulting china.... Specially romney who warned china.... They even mentioned pakistan.... Romney said pakistan is ally of america but they not acting like one and we should add tough condition towards Aid to pakistan.... Btw chinatoday am bit dissapointed that you always here bashing india and at times america.... Other chinese are good here but you seems to me the one who works for money (internet army).... You know what i mean.... Sometime i feel u are here to promote china and downgrade india.... Why would obama and romney debate on a friendly nation like india? There are over 200 major nations and in that only hanful of nations been brought up and in that mostly were enemy nations.... China, pakistan, iran etc etc.... India not enemy of america. We were enemy since cold war but now america declared india as partner (not ally as we are powerful nation to be ally).... They always calls india a partner. Once they called us natural ally and indian prime minister said india too big to be a ally. Since than america always calls india partner.... My friend you are on PDF to spread negative energy.... You always brings something that makes othe users emit negative energy. People like u are favorite of reptilians, aggressive grays.... When we do bad karma than we go inside where the hell is situated.... It seems you dont believe in karma....

For members who can vote who do you guys are going to vote for and may I know the reason? Being a first timer, I have not made up my mind yet.

What do you guys think, Obama or Romney?

Obama, no question. Romney has run a terrible campaign, and the amount of blatant lies, terrible comments (47%, etc.) that he has made makes an inevitable loss IMO. Granted it is America and there are a large portion of people that will vote for Romney because he is against abortion, gay marriage, etc. But I think the majority of the population is not going to vote for him. Too many missteps, unclear as to where he is policy wise, and then the whole Mormon issue...

The entire debate was jihad jihad iraq, Pakistan , Once the got bored off the muslims they attacked China and rise of reds loll. Forget India not much emphasis was given to American economic and military advancements. South America and Europe seemed to be of no interest to America anymore. I guess next 4 yrs America will concentrate only on Middle east and China.

Or there could be an another aspect, maybe America is taking europens, South Americans, India for granted. Prolly thinking, "doesn't matter we will lead and they will follow us". Ahh next 4 yrs can be make or break for American dominance, get serious yankies .

The funny thing is that Romney was pro-choice when he was the Governor of Massachusetts, a liberal American state.

I prefer Obama as a person, I think he is more honest and trustworthy.

But I feel the Republicans will be better for China in terms of economic policy. And I think Republicans will be more pro-Israel as well for you guys.

I find it really stupid that to become the President of the US, you have to talk about foreign countries. Am I the only one who sees the irony?

There is no irony. It is all about foreign policy and US being a global power, the leaders are expected to have an opinion.

 

[BanglaBhoot]

Good this shows that neither we are too friendly nor too hostile towards US

Yes India is nowhere with the US .....

 

[SHAMK9]

I was disappointed that the vast majority of the foreign policy discussion was focused on Israel, the Middle East, and Afghanistan/Pakistan. With a meager end question that encompasses the rest. What I wanted to hear most about when it came to foreign policy was how each candidate would conduct their foreign policy in East and South Asia, not the Middle East

Pakistan and Afghanistan are parts of South Asia

 

[Backbencher]

I missed the debate as i was sleeping with an *** beside me

 

[IndoUS]

Pakistan and Afghanistan are parts of South Asia

I thought Afghanistan was more towards ME.

 

[Backbencher]

BTW may i ask my fellow members that what all points did they discuss about China ??

I thought Afghanistan was more towards ME.

Sir geography ke classes miss kar diye they kya

 

[IndoUS]

BTW may i ask my fellow members that what all points did they discuss about China ??

Mainly trade, both side had to show that they will be tough on China regarding the trade imbalance, and bringing the jobs back. It was a good thing India was not mentioned, considering we have also stolen a lot of job. I talked to people about the at work and to why India wasn't mentioned, and they said that both sides are trying to improve ties with India, and since Indian media is really touchy they didn't want the relationship to be affected.

Europe is a perennial scapegoat on the campaign trail

Europe is a scapegoat? What are they smoking?

Besides, Romney's favorite phrase, which he mentioned a couple of times, is "We're on the road to Greece".

What's the point of our "stealing" so many middle-class American jobs through the outsourcing route if we can't even find one measly mention in the US presidential debate?

The most important point is that the debate is aimed at the domestic American audience, not anyone in India, China or elsewhere. The American jobs lost to India tend to be white collar jobs, which do not unionize, whereas the jobs lost to China tend to be blue collar unionized jobs. It is the organized unions which raise the issue to a national level, so the Indian outsourcing is mostly under the radar because most white collar workers are too "proud" to join unions, which are viewed as a blue collar phenomenon.

People want no war and they want jobs. Whoever can sell on that will take the prize home.
