King and Queen Obama have big plans for their trip...

The Obamas will be slinking out of town right after the elections next month.  Our high-living scolder-in-chief will be stopping in Mumbai as part of his Asian trip.  Why?  I have no idea.  I'm already counting the ways this fool and his wife  will embarrass the American citizens with their gauche behavior.  How about a few apologies, some bowing, and a few really tacky gifts?  Or - how about they just stay home and quit spending our tax dollars?

The Ecoonomic Times has a schedule for the two days they'll be in Mumbai. 
To ensure fool-proof security, the President’s team has booked the entire the Taj Mahal Hotel, including 570 rooms, all banquets and restaurants. Since his security contingent and staff will comprise a huge number, 125 rooms at Taj President have also been booked, apart from 80 to 90 rooms each in Grand Hyatt and The Oberoi hotels. The NCPA, where the President is expected to meet representatives from the business community, has also been entirely booked.
The officer said, “Obama’s contingent is huge. There are two jumbo jets coming along with Air Force One, which will be flanked by security jets. There will be 30 to 40 secret service agents, who will arrive before him. The President’s convoy has 45 cars, including the Lincoln Continental in which the President travels.”

Since Obama will stay in a hotel that is on sea front, elaborate coastal security arrangements have been made by the US Navy in consonance with the Indian Navy and the Coast Guard. “There will be US naval ships, along with Indian vessels , patrolling the sea till about 330-km from the shore. This is to negate the possibility of a missile being fired from a distance,” the officer said. read the rest
Your tax dollars at work...
