No, Bill Clinton and W. have also sent out Diwali greetings to the

Indian community.

 

and here's one more tidbit:

In the intense primary battle between Obama and Hillary, Obama or his

campaign have referred to Hillary's strong India connections with

these words " ... that senator from Punjab .... "

 

I think he has since then regretted these words.

 

Of course, these tidbits do not make it to the mainstream media almost

always.

 

Regards

Manoj
