Why did Obama choose an imported Indian instead of the home grown variety. There are a lot of Indian settlements in the US.

Brit:Indians going on about her? Maybe I missed something??

Anyways both Nooyi and Shah would see themselves as american citizens first and Indians next I guess. oh, btw...theres something more to this...chk this out...

---------------------------------

US President-elect Barack Obama may have cultivated a left-of-center image for himself, but Sonal Shah, the Indian-American advisor in his transition team, has well established rightwing leanings.

The 40-year-old economist has been associated with the overseas activities of the Sangh Parivar. She was a national coordinator of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America campaign to raise funds for Gujarat earthquake victims in 2001.

Her father Ramesh Shah, a vice-president of the Overseas Friends of the Bharatiya Janata Party (OFBJP), had campaigned for LK Advani in Gandhinagar during the 2004 Lok Sabha elections. He had also briefly traveled with Advani during his Bharat Udaya Yatra, countrywide election tour.

He's a She..

By the way, I find it amusing that Indians are going on about her , yet they forget about people such as "Indra Nooyi", who is the global CEO of Pepsico..
