"Diwali is a time for celebration, but it is also a time for reflection a time when we must remember that there are always others less fortunate then ourselves.

Wow it just never ends with this guy.. How many times has he spoken about Christmas?

Wow, I'm surprised I've never heard of such an important holiday.  I worked for 3 years with a guy from India and his family did celebrate Christmas, but they did it more as a kind of Thanksgiving type thing.  I think we need to make it a national holiday with time off.  :-)

Wow indeed, I've never heard of it either!

Ha, I had an Indian coworker awhile back when I was working shift work, great guy!  It was always fascinating watching what unfolded when our shift relieved or was relieved by the shift that had a guy from Pakistan!  Within minutes, they'd be screaming at each other, ready to come to blows, just from being in the same room.  It was great  :popcorn:

Someone should remind that imposter in the White Mosque that he's supposed to be the POTUS.
It never ends with this man. :censored:

The guy never misses an opportunity to lecture people.  Such a tiresome man.

"here in America?"  WTF is he talking about?  I think he's come seriously unhinged.  This whole trip so bizarre and maddening, I don't even know what to think.

Diwali? Isn't that some kind of shithole in eastern Africa that nobody gives a shit about?
