Who is Obama??

This attack seems to have stirred me like hell..
Yesterday I heard some news that I found very depressing. Obama, the President Elect declared "that every country including India has the right to protect itself and attack another country should it be required."
Agreed thats true, but it seems our politicians didn't know this before Obama declared it!! Pranab Mukherjee had not stated this till yesterday when suddenly in the interviews last night ( every channel claimed it was an exclusive interview with their channel.. and all were broadcasting it.. strange) said that India will take military action to protect its sovernity. Come on! Was the Indian government waiting for a signal from America or permission to say this?? No Indian politician dared to say this till Obama said it..
One more example of the sad and repressive attitude of our government.
