Obama's trip not so bad after all

Okay, i messed up.

Obama's trip was not as bad as we feared. Quite good, actually. Let me do a full mea culpa by reviewing what i had said earlier:

Obama brings:
1. Support for technology transfers
2. Support for a seat for India on the Security Council
3. Plenty of support to Pakistan, with practically no strings attached

Obama seeks:
1. More Indian investment
2. More Indian economic support

So this seems like more of a win-win situation to me. The question is: can India and the US get their tango down on time? China is like a speeding bullet train and is expected to now catch up with the US in PPP economic terms in--get this--TWO YEARS!! Who'd have thought of it?
