WASHINGTON: WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama is likely to arrive in India on November 5 instead of November 7 as originally scheduled. He will leave Washington DC on the night of November 4 soon after the mid-term Congressional election where many pundits are predicting severe reverses for the Democratic Party.

He will be away from the US for almost 12 days, one of the longest tours during his presidency, touching India, Indonesia, Japan, and South Korea, before returning to Washington DC on November 14.

" First lady Michelle Obama is expected to accompany him on at least the first leg of his tour to India, contrary to earlier reports. But their children, Malia and Sasha, are likely to miss out on a holiday they were reported to have looked forward to, because they will not be allowed to skip school."

But Michelle not going to Indonesia..Imagine that!

Yeah Dear Leader can make time to visit Indonesia, but can not bring himself to visit Australia; the same as he could visit all those Islamic-Controlled countries in the ME, but has studiously avoided Israel!

it is insulting to Americans that these muslims think we don't know about their allegiance to the hate-filled agenda of islam.

It appears that Diwali night is a big deal in India. So he has moved up his trip so that Michelle can see the Festival of Lights.

He’s political poison right now. This gives him an excuse to disappear from the campaigns of Dems who don’t want him near.

He will be shocked to see air quality that day. Indian love fire crackers on Diwali night.
Plus traffic jam.

Diwali is the celebration of this inner light, in particular the knowing of which outshines all darkness (removes all obstacles and dispels all ignorance), awakening the individual to one's true nature, not as the body, but as the unchanging, infinite, immanent and transcendent reality.

I see why Obama is arriving on Diwali night .... he thinks it's all about him. Michelle isn't going to like it though - the celebrants share sweets and snacks .... maybe she should bring some White House veggies along so she doesn't add more junk to the trunk.

Barry can suck on Indian sweets, while Michelle munches arugala.

I guess he doesn’t want to be around while the analysts explain away the election results.

The rockets will be flying in Israel by then. He can go over to india and watch the destruction up close.

Hopefully he will fall in love with the food and decide to stay there.

How much does India want to keep him there, and his wife also?

Ok...my spidey sense is all tingling here. It got moved but it doesn't really say it was to participate in the "inner light" festivities? I don't think this quite appears to be what it is trying to appear to be.

What will the countries reaction be to a total democrat scorched earth? Will this election cycle remain peaceful if the democrats are tossed?

I think things are about to get very, very ugly and the trip change is to protect 0bama.

Let's face it...everyone knows they could have rolled through so many changes...and didn't. The republicans could have all voted no...and they still could have passed every piece of their agenda and they failed.

There are repercussions brewing between the progressives and what is left of the democrats.

She doesn’t go to Islamic countries with him, does she? I thought there was something about a Muslim man not bringing in a non-Muslim wife or something.

Worst time to go when people are busy with family and celebration. Rarely, even switch on TV.
I think Indian Govt. will arrange hired crowd, even that will be difficult to find.
