Congratulations Poor Obama!

N Ramesh
Even as the whole world seem to congratulate Mr. Barack Obama for his convincing win over his main rival candidate, the seventy plus year old Republican Mr. John McCain, a sense of gloom and doom prevails all over the world, or atleast in most of the American sub-continent !

Yes, even as the people the world over are very happy that a Black skinned Man has ultimately become the President of the United States of America, there is an uneasy cum tumultuous activity that is going on in the economic realm of the world, but mainly below the surface !

Indeed, even as the good wishes to the First President of USA from the Black Community keeps pouring from all around the world, uncomfortable calm cum chillness descends in the global landscape affecting the various economies, and that there is nothing much to cheer about at all !

Truly, even as the initial euphoria goes to its crescendo and does its routine rounds as usual, most of the people in our world would have realized that the First Black President of the US of A has got into the really hot seat at the present moment and literally into an unenviable position !

Actually, to be very open and frank, if not plain and blunt, even before the ecstasy of many of us go through the roof only to finally come down sooner or later, many other people throughout our world would have realized that Mr. Obama has got the top job of the globe at the wrong time !

That is to say, Mr. Obama has got into the most Powerful post in the world of Politics at a very very inappropriate juncture, as he will be donning the mantle and inheriting a virtually bankrupt economy, and he has to unnecessarily own responsibility for it while trying to clean the same !

In other words, Mr. Obama has to take over the reigns of the so-called largest Economy of the World, which incidentally is also a failing Economy in the recent times, and which is practically poised to be in the verge of sliding, leave alone in the brink of collapse or dip into recession !

Ironically, America happens to be the Leader amongst the overall comity of Nations, and it is in the threshold of a clear economic disaster, unless a miracle occurs to save it from sure trouble, which cannot be ruled out in all probability, leave alone averted or avoided by human effort !

For; History shows that USA has often escaped from several problems and down turns, and has weathered disastrous and crippling economic conditions in the past and has in a way come out of many crisis and seemingly hopeless (Read : Messy and Gloomy effects !) situations as well !

It is to be repeated that US as a country has withstood several economic onslaughts of diverse kinds and got away from getting crumbled and crippled economically, especially during the last few decades of its faulty Management of its economy which impacts the other economies too !

But this time around, it is generally felt and believed by several right thinking persons that it cannot avoid or avert a slow down, leave alone skirting and skipping an economic backlash purely due to its erroneous economic policies by readily accepting the blame for the mess !

In short, America and Americans have to eat humble pie and bite the dust for their grossly wrong policy initiatives while steering their economic Management, which has resulted in not only running aground their economy but also dangerously tripping the global economy also !
