Obama or McCain: Who is better from Indian Perspective ?

Posted by venu4u on October 29, 2008

For sometime until now, I was favouring Obama for some apparent reasons of symbolizing the vanquishing of racism and the dismal Bush legacy. I somehow felt that his soft stance on issues related to war and peace would be beneficial.

But on the economic front, when we examine the emperical data (courtesy: TOI) of their past history of voting related to various issues concerned with economics of free trade, we can imply that McCain is much better when compared to Obama in terms of business opportunities for india.(Ofcourse, as various disclaimers goes “Past results doesn’t indicate future performance”). But as a student of MBA, I would definitely not disregard the past data as inconsequential. Although, McCain has a hawkish reputation for his foreign policy, i feel it should be of lesser importance in the current economic scenario.
