Is this trip really necessary? - LKTraz - 11-05-2010
President Obama is set to take a 10 day trip to India and it's going to cost taxpayers 2 BILLION dollars!
He's taking 3,000 of his closest friends as well as 34 warships with him to go see the Festival of Lights. They have bought out all rooms at the Taj Mahal and although not mentioned, since that's 800 rooms, other hotels as well.
Indian officials are having all the coconuts removed from the area trees, lest one fall and hit Barry boy.
Shop keepers at The Gateway of India are being forced to shut down for the preparation and duration of this visit and are not able to afford the losses. Some have remained in business by bribing the police.
Now how good is the security going to be when the cops can be so easily bought?
Remember the bombings in India? Does Mumbai (Bombay) ring a bell?
Golly gee......the Taj Mahal was part of the overall hit list and if the terrorists were successful it would have been bombed.
WTF do you need 34 warships for? If the area is secure enough for the trip why all the naval firepower?
Oh wait a minute......Barry is arrogant enough to believe that he's untouchable! (Just bringing a large naval flotilla for grins).
What the hell is so damned important that it justifies all this? Anybody?

He'll be going to a G20 summit before (or after?) hitting India and other parts of Asia.
Where are your sources for all the info on the coconuts and closed shops? I heard he bought out the hotel but none of the other stuff.
I think his chunk of humble pie the other night made him realize he's not the second coming of Jesus.
Regardless, Let's keep him protected. Do you really want Joe Biden as president for the next two years and God Forbid! that Joe gets whacked off along with him, Nancy Pelosi has the seat until January!

Heard a short blurb on it from WOR radio news and it referenced the New Dehli Times newspaper from India.

Yeah, I caught the economic summit bit yesterday. I still don't get why the HUGE entourage.
