Obama – The MAN

In 1964, Irving Wallace wrote his famous novel about a black man becoming the President of America. It happened in strange circumstances - the Vice-Presidency is vacant, because of the incumbent's death. Then, while overseas, the President and the Speaker of the House suffer a freak accident; the President is killed, the Speaker of the House dies in surgery. Douglass Dilman, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, a black man earlier elected to that office in deference to racial tokenism is the constitutional successor, much to the disbelief and chagrin of racist America. (including some wifely jealousy)

Irving Wallace then said, “Such a novel could even contribute to the equality revolution now in progress in our country. I hope I have succeeded.”

He did – after 44 years!

44 years after Wallace visualised a Black as the US President albeit by an accident, a Black has been elected emphatically by the greatest Democracy in the world.

If you can get a copy of “The Man”, grab it and read it – I assure you, you will not regret it!

As they say, “ That he be judged not by the colour of his skin but by the content of his character”

And the Indian Stock Market greeted the greatest event in current history with a huge fall!

A friend, who is a great student of Astrology, told me that Saturn's profound influence on this great man took him to dizzying heights.

It's all in your stars!
