United States is the nation which has more influence on the global economy today. Becoming the major stake holder of global trade and economy, the people leader of the country has the huge responsibility more than a president. And the pressure is phenomenal.

United States is a land of prosperity for any one in the world. I would say, before 1960s Indian culture is the most loved one. After 1980s Unites States is becoming the centr of attraction in rich culture. America is a land, where people and talents of any nation were welcomed with gratitude.

A line from Wikipedia - "It is worth noting that while the U.S. tends to be a net exporter of culture, it absorbs many other cultural traditions with relative ease for example: origami, soccer, anime, and yoga".


According to CNN, in a new poll comparing President Bush's performance with Clinton, a majority of people voted for Clinton. And there are anti slogans against war and Bush while few whispers security against war.

A web site depicts the difference between two presidents of US. The site starts with "How good was the Clinton Presidency?" and criticize about Bush. Many of the presidents in the world might have come across criticism and controversy. White house lists the achievements of Bush as, "United States is waging and winning the war against global terrorism. During his first term, Since 2003 summer, Bush had shown a faster growing economy". Tax foundation says the tax rates are lower during the period of Bush compared to Clinton. According to a leading US academic, "America has become so right wing that it will make little difference whether John McCain or Barack Obama is elected as the next President in November".

I am presenting here my view as an international audience. My objective here is not to criticize Bush vs Clinton. Instead i would like to say learning from mistakes and the success... to over come criticisms, unemployment and the slow economy.

Bush delivered a strong leader ship, increased defence and security, reduced tax plans. Clinton has show cased exemplary leadership, smooth external affair, nice attitude and economical growth. Both are strong personalities as a president.


Seals Fight Global Warming

I have seen the statistics in "businessweek.com", Bush's Government showed their strength in GDP Growth, Treasury Rate for 10 years, increased spending in information technology, Real disposable income per person. Where Clinton stands better when we look jobs added, umemployment rate for graduates, wage growth, stock market, gasoline price. But when wei have seen unemployment rate or new unemployment rate or even inflation rate both of them are in tie.

World is now under going major problems these days like global warming, energy demand, food demand, unemployment, poor economy, anti social activities & terrorism. Terrorism is the major rival of peace and prosperity. The best way to fight them is condemn them strongly whenever it happens and stop supporting anti social activists. And also there is need to create positive sign towards religious war. Started few thousands of years back, this world still faces wars between two societies which causes others and themselves to grow towards prosperity and peace. Terrorism pushes a country to spend for weapons instead of feeding food for the poor.

Either a Bush or Clinton, Every president has the capability and no doubt on their ability/talents, being elected by millions of people. But to become a successful president of America, it will be very important to have the nice attitude and strong leadership to fight and succeed with global warming, energy demand, unemployment, poor economy, anti social activities & terrorism, etc.

People of america may expect at least a marginal growth from new government, either it is Republician McCain or democrat obama.
