Sunday Discourse by Philip Fernando for Asian Tribune
John McCain and Barrack Obama have provided an advanced preview of their foreign policy if elected president. The chatter in Washington among many Sri Lankans I met went like this: McCain seems bent on continuing the Bush doctrine of loathing the terrorists unashamedly, while Obama is more incline
d to pander to the die-hard human rightists. A former US ambassador in Sri Lanka told me: McCain would be very good for Sri Lanka. "An Obama activist countered that Obama foreign policy would be based on realistic assessments rather than any pre-conceived notions." Ambassador Jaliya Wickramasuriya
is of the view that "no matter who wins the Presidency, we have to be ready and present Sri Lanka's position quite clearly. I believe that President Rajapaksa's quest for peace in Sri Lanka would be recognized." Unmasking Obama and McCaian went on unabated in the US, as the two campaign vigorously
crisscrossing the country. Even their favorite movie picks came in for review. Media reports indicated that Obama chose Spider-Man and Batman because "they have some inner turmoil." McCain said Batman is a quiet hero who pursues justice "against insurmountable odds." It is obvious that both chose a
winner. The new Batman movie "The Dark Knight" is a top box office hit with earnings of more than $400 million in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales. In the sphere of music, McCain favored ABBA of Sweden, late singer Roy Orbison and 70s star Linda Ronstadt, while Obama favored an eclectic group of mu
sicians, including Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, Meryl Crow and John Coltrane. http://www.lankanewspapers.com/news/2008/6/29071.html Obama's last movie was the 2007 animated film 'Shrek the Third.' McCain said he had seen the recent blockbuster hit 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.' "
I enjoyed that so much. The old guy wins," said McCain, who has been the butt of jokes because of his age. For favorite actor in the role of president, McCain picked Dennis Haysbert from the Fox network hit "24." Obama chose Jeff Bridges from the 2000 movie "The Contender." "He was charming and es
sentially an honorable person, but there was a rogue about him," Obama said. Obama said his first movie memory was "Born Free," the 1966 film about African lions. McCain remembered the 1942 Disney animated feature "Bambi." "When his mother was killed. "I enjoyed that so much. The old guy wins," sa
id McCain, who has been the butt of jokes because of his age. McCain used Paris in an Ad to portray Obama as a empty rock star. One person enjoying all this chatter has been Paris Hilton, the 27-year-old actress, singer and socialite, who called McCain a "wrinkly white-haired guy" in a Web video p
osted this week. - Asian Tribune -
