Morons of the worst kind

i dont know why but i dont like to see pratibha patil's face nor tolerate what she says. But open any online indian newspaper site and you can see her republic day speech. Its so staple and lackluster, she sounds and looks lazy, i dont know why anyone want to put her in the place which was occupied by dynamic APJ Kalam. She says

* Reminding the nation to fulfil Mahatma Gandhi's pledge of ''wiping every tear in every eye'', President Pratibha Patil today regretted that the benefits of a surging economy have not percolated to weaker sections
-->Who will do the job of wiping crocodile tears of politicians ....including her?

*'Our efforts and our commitment, while pursuing the goal of high growth rates, should be to ensure that all people of our country benefit from it.
--> yes what about those lazy guys on the streets? what about those who get in paying bribe to occupy high positions? I dont think you can achieve any growth with such people around

*The President said the country cannot look at the future without addressing the needs of under-privileged and disadvantaged sections of the society.
--> sick and tired of hearing the same word beaten about. I mean come on and do something to pull them up. There is nothing as a free meal in this world and universe...even to cook this free meal someone has to lose his or her time to cook, there is no such thing as a magic wand to wave it and get something.

*Warning that terrorism constituted a grave threat to the civilised world, the President said the continuing terror attacks were reminders of the need to take collective action.
-->Arrrrrggg again sick of hearing this word. Combating terrorism isnt the main thing to do, kill the concept of terrorism, put a stop/damper into the production of illegal arms, production of drug and eventual flow of drug money, dont sell to people other than the government, cut down local support by putting in a mole so that each movement is watched. Thats the way to combat terrorism and not going after them. Its just like saying, give wealth to combat poverty. If that was so easy, it could have been done long back in 100 B.C.

* Making a special reference to the scourge of corruption, the President said the country could not afford the loss of resources meant for its development.''We must strengthen measures for the removal of corruption by bringing about greater transparency,'' she said.
-->Rolls the eyes and puckers the lips.

*Patil spoke of the economy growing at ''unprecedented'' rate and said the ''impressive strides'' have resulted in the country's emergence as a powerful player in the global economy. ''This century will belong to Asia and India will be one of the main driving forces,'' the President said.Sounding a note of caution, she said one should not forget that the objective of development was not merely to create wealth but also to build a humane society.
-->Creating wealth, greed for power, bribing the way to get the maximum position et al all means the same. Let them look at japan, korea, one-china (taiwan included), india is never in the same league as these, they call themselves south asia and are proud to be with sub-continent *rolls eyes and smirks*. India is growing because of low labour costs, time advantage and dollar multiplier advantage.

*'We cannot afford to have insular attitudes and be unconcerned about the needs of others,'' she said.Noting that women constituted half the population, she said there should be laws for their empowerment and protection. ''We also need to address social evils like child marriage, female foeticide, female infanticide and dowry,'' the President said.
--> I was wondering where is the woman power...woman exploitation speech and when i scrolled down, i was glad it was there...my face beamed with joy....nah not because of the content text but because my prediction was on right track :D

My take on this speech....stale staple political speech made under force. When in school, we were made to sit to listen to same old speeches, we are so much used to such speeches that we can make better speeches! AMEN!

ps: Is it a crime to attack the president of india verbally? Is it normal in democracy to have free speech? Excuse my ranting if it is YES, enjoy the rant if its not a crime :D
