Barack Obama needs no introduction. He is the star of this year and you can find loads of info about him on Google. Simple way to trace him is to switch on the TV and watch any news channel. At least one of them would be airing some special focus show on him.
I am not an ardent worshipper of world politics, but this guy has been intriguing. The possible reasons could be his ethics or principles. I am posting an anecdote about him which impressed me to the core. Source: Times of India
When the whole media was roaring about the Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter’s untimely pregnancy, Obama demonstrated his wisdom in a very pragmatic way. All he said was, “My Mom was 18 when she was carrying me”. He could have criticized to any extent, but he kept mum and slapped their indignity to publicize a sensitive issue.
This is the change we definitely need in our thought process not to demean someone’s life! Such a change will inculcate true human values and build a philanthropic universe.
How does that feel? At least, I was totally impressed with his reply. Please comment your views.
