Obama not insulting but cheering India: Wall Street Journal
WASHINGTON, Observing that the "truth- telling" of US President Barack Obama
"evidently pricked the thin skin of India's politicians", a leading
American financial daily has said he is in fact "cheering" the Indian
elite and not insulting them.
"It is no wonder foreign investors
are appealing to their leaders for help against Delhi's protectionism.
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong
alluded to how these policies created a poor business climate during a
Delhi visit last week, which follows concerns more openly voiced by the
UK's George Osborne and US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.
"If Mr Geithner's boss is now joining the chorus, it's because previous warnings have gone unheeded," The Wall Street Journal said in its editorial on Obama's remarks in an exclusive interview to PTI recently.
