Americans are really blind

US always proclaimed champion of human rights and strong vocalist of equality and did not believe in gender discrimination but they are exposed when media, think thanks and Republicans voters accused Obama and started media trial. Firstly, they utmost tried to establish connections with Muslims, secondly he is black and should not be trusted and given a chance to lead US in the twenty first century, thirdly, he has strong links with gamblers and Islamic extremists and lastly when all options failed to dampen his heroic struggle then they decided to criticize him as incapable and inexperienced person to get country out of financial morass. All these are dirty and cheap tricks which do not suit US which is promoting and fighting for human rights cause across the world. In democracy, every body has a equal opportunity to contest election and sole criterion should be impeccable integrity, patriotism and merit which is defined in constitution.

I hope on the eve of election media and think thanks would remain neutral to provide fair chance to the great citizen of US to cast their votes according to their conscience not on the basis of gender and religion.
