Ramesh is one more ‘pain’ guy, I guess trying to climb the career paths blazed by Karl Rove and Rush Limbaugh – always twist and manipulate what a non-Conservative person would say. Case in point is Obama’s response to a question about forcing English as the compulsory language. Ramesh is interpreting Obama’s response wrong and as the one who has not given sufficient thought to immigrant assimilation.
(Ramesh Ponnuru, Washington Post – ‘Put English First, Obama’; July 12, 2008)
Oh, give us a break as if McCain has been very eloquent and erudite on this topic.
Obama is right to high light importance of kid being bilingual. In Asia, and in specific in India, it is quite normal. Kids thrive there and no one has to make any laws for folks to learn English. In India ‘market forces’ (the one which should be sacred to Ramesh) make people to ensure that their kids learn English. Where is there a law in India that English is compulsory and kids can not be bilingual until they master English?
Ramesh misses the point completely. Or I guess the objective for people like Ramesh is to ‘miss the point’ on purpose, create a media controversy and to scrap live on that. He, Anna Coulter and Rush Limbaugh; it is a species in itself where making provocative statements and offending people on purpose is the way to make living. Shame on Ramesh because he could have learnt few things from India. As usual the best thing for Obama is to ignore such ‘media whores’.
