true, more than that he's a lame duck president now with a split house and even if the republicans win the next elections on an anti incumbency campaign, it'll be good for India and a visit by the US president is still very significant.@Dalit wrote:
Who cares? Obama is very unpopular and more than half of America wants him gone anyway. Look at the state of the US economy under his watch. Look at the racial tensions in the US under his watch. Look at the amount of wars and tensions across the world under his watch. Look at the tensions between the US and other countries (including China and Russia) under his watch. Every Obama decision is watched with suspicion and scrutiny in his own country. Half of America doesn't trust its own president.
As for Afghanistan, it's a lost cause from day one. Pakistan shouldn't have any part in it and seal the borders as much as possible. Let the Americans fight with their "coalition" in that graveyard.

Similar threads exist, the video was titled to flamebait.
ok, fair enough
they're saying that the visit is still on but these mega deals with Putin sure have pissed them off, might we still see an Obama stopover in Islamabad then ?
Perhaps before 2016 US Presidential elections(when he will be just an outgoing lame duck), but no time soon. First, the political instability wrought on by the recent poll related protests | The possibility(by US gauging) of IS taking hold in Pakistan | release of reports regarding use of torture by US agencies.
The US may be cheesed off by the display of love for Putin but at the same time it understands that the visit was(for India's PoV) anyway a sort of challenge of love. Basically, now the US has to outdo the Ruski in an attempt to woo the Indian Lady.
Obama is known to be anti Pakistan......but there is big Pakistan lobby in both the US House and Senate.....Kerry and Clinton (surprisingly) did a great job of holding him back and continuing with the engagement. Whether he visits Pakistan or not, doesn't really matter. Has it ever really mattered?
That would be a little presumptuous... as there is little precedent for it in his public statements.
The US Congress IS Anti-Pakistan as the lobbying groups hired by India are doing a fantastic job.
he's already a lame duck and yes, it's probably the political instability that makes him weary of stepping foot into Pakistan.Perhaps before 2016 US Presidential elections(when he will be just an outgoing lame duck), but no time soon.

IS taking hold probably not so much but the torture reports and subsequent swell of even greater anti US sentiment probably plays a bigger part.
lol 'wooing the Indian lady' that's what I feel too, but 'wooing' her away from Boris will be a bit of a task.
looking good for India, eh ?
and I say all this as a random observer, not trolling... end of the day I don't get anything from either a SU 35 or a F 35, they won't let me anywhere near one LOL
just watching the great game played out
not sure if this is a fair tag given the thread but @US_statedept_retired any inputs here, sir ?
