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

..................................
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 !!
I think JayKay is having fun in this thread. His logic astounds me.

He oversimplifies the problem of explaining behaviors of populations and groups. I suggest reading Mancur Olsen's works to gain better understanding on this subject:
Mancur Olson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To gain an understanding on game theory, the basis on which group behavior is explained in modern times, please read
Game theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also an interesting read for people with interest in mathematical concepts:
Prisoner's dilemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
