Michelle steals Barack thunder

Apparently that was a headline in India's media reports on the President's trip. According to the BBC, India Today had that headline while the Economic Times went one more and declared her the "Dancing Queen."

Barack Obama couldn't have chosen a better country to heal and re-energize after the election results, and feel love without anybody asking for his birth certificate. Whether it is the Beatles or Julia Roberts, India offers plenty to help regroup. One strange, mysterious, puzzling, and crazy country that is, with which I have one hell of a relationship :)

Pakistan, with its identity as anti-India, will not be happy with all this dancing together. And, definitely not with the President's open support of a permanent seat for India at the Security Council:
Pakistan's foreign ministry spokesman, Abdul Basit, said Mr Obama's move "adds to the complexity of the process of reforms of the council".
"Pakistan hopes that the US will take a moral view and not base itself on any temporary expediency or exigencies of power politics," he said.
