Kerry “promises” top positions for Indians

As the election looms menacingly closer its time to squeeze every last vote out of the electorate. Bush stays true to form by spending his time making insipid commercials starring wolves to scare us, while Kerry panders to every group he can think of. NCM reports:

Democratic challenger Sen. John F. Kerry, who is locked in an epic battle with incumbent President George W. Bush in the November presidential election, says he would “make every effort to involve Indian Americans at the highest levels of my administration.”

In an exclusive Q&A in the Sept./Oct. issue of Indian Life & Style magazine published by India-West, the candidate, who is in a dead heat in the race to the White House, says, “It is long past time that Indian Americans be fully represented in the government.”

But what kind of position?? That is the million dollar question. I would love to apply for the type of position that Karl Rove has in Dubya’s administration. Can you imagine? Abhi as head of propaganda in a Kerry presidency? Oooh, the possibilities.

Displaying a comfortable grasp of the subject of India and Indian Americans, Kerry said: “I also believe that the Democratic Party has long been concerned about Indian American interests. In the last 25 years, only President Clinton and President Carter have made visits to India. From issues of civil rights, immigration, or foreign policy, the Indian American community can find in the Democratic Party a strong and common vision.”
