காலபைரவன்;135469]Perhaps,we might need to come to an agreement on what the term "rational"means!

I am not trying to argue about the merits of Obama vs other candidates. I amtrying to understand on what basis do you think Indians' support to Obama isbased on emotive issues.

The race argument might be applicable for african americans, not Indians. I donot think Indians view Obama as their own race.

I am not sure what you are hinting at by mentioning "pro-immigration"but it can only point to a "rational" benefit and not an"emotional" one.

You also mentioned tax break to middle class, which is again a rational benefitto the largely middle-class Indian immigrant population.

I still do not think you have come up with any reasonable answers to supportyour position.


Let me quote the official definition:

A rational decision is one that is not just reasoned, butis also optimal for achieving a goal or solving a problem

so lets understand the OP - 85% of American Indians support Obama.

what is the basis for any president to be elected - Merit, Competence,Experience, Track Record & policies.

so has Obama succeeded in his first term - NO.

so what is the rational behind the 85 % support by Indian americans ? - Norational analysis - becos if he has failed, why should so many support him ?

Like they elect based on Caste in India - they are rooting for Obama forreasons other than merit & competence !!
