Who will take the US President throne?

Washington, Nov 4: Not even 24 hours left for the US citizens to vote for their powerful politician in the world. With Senator Barack Obama leading McCain, there are chances of Obama winning the elections and becoming the President of the United States. Obama, is known to be protectionist. He claims that he will stop outsourcing of jobs. He feels America has the capacity of solving the Kashmir dispute. However, in a sharp contrast, Republican Senator John McCain is in favour of free trade, outsourcing and it was after all a Republican President, George Bush, who gave India the bonanza of the Indo-US nuclear deal.

'My granny was a quiet hero'
Senator Barack Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, 86, has died following a bout with cancer, Obama and his sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, said on Monday, Nov 3. At a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, Monday, Nov 3 night, the Illinois senator said "she has gone home and she died peacefully in her sleep with my sister at her side." "I'm not going to talk about it long because it's hard to talk about," he added. Obama remembered her as "one of those quiet heroes we have across America, who aren't famous but each and every day they work hard. They look after their families. They look after their children and their grandchildren."

In a statement released Monday afternoon, Obama and his sister said that Dunham was "the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility."

"She was the person who encouraged and allowed us to take chances. She was proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and left this world with the knowledge that her impact on all of us was meaningful and enduring. Our debt to her is beyond measure."

Obama and Soetoro-Ng asked that donations be made for the search for a cure for cancer in lieu of flowers. A small private ceremony will be held 'at a later date'.
