Obama signs autograph
BY CAROL E. LEE

How big an international star is President Obama? Even other world leaders want his autograph.

When Obama met with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh this afternoon, the soft-spoken leader noted that his daughter wanted his
American counterpart to autograph something for her.




*************************

So Obama has made nice w/ Hindus, Muslims, the French, the English, the Germans, and people in the Czech Republic and now
wants to get rid of nuclear weapons is there no stopping this mad man? :rofl:

BTW to lurking wing nuts ..... :evilgrin:

2. just make sure it's not a treaty
Obama thinks he's signing an autograph but is actually giving them Alaska!

4. On Edit, Singh has three daughters

The youngest lives in the US and is a lawyer at the ACLU. It's not really clear which daughter the autograph is for.

And BTW, Singh is Sikh, not Hindu, though I think Hindus like Obama also - there's a cool story about the various good luck charms Obama has been given including a small figurine of the Hindu monkey-God Hanuman.

6. Obama said he learned to make Indian Food from an Indian roommate he had
Obama is really showing his world experience in his overseas trip. he can really connect with people of so many different cultures.

5. nice, but India PM is a Sikh, not Hindu, like Obama he is a minority in India
but a religious minority rather than race.
