Economic collapse + civil unrest, then domestic nukes.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Obama will be leaving 2 days after the election to tour around India...
The trip will cost taxpayers 200 million a day for 10 days.
The Obama's will rent the entire Hotel Taj, 570 rooms.
There are two jumbo jets coming along with Air Force One, which will be flanked by security jets. The President’s convoy has 45 cars.”
The Economic Times also reported that Mr Obama’s delegation is so large that another 300 rooms have reportedly been booked in other luxury Mumbai hotels.
Except for personnel providing immediate security to the president, the US officials may not be allowed to carry weapons. The state police is competent to take care of the security measures and they would be piloting the presidential convoy," the official said on condition of anonymity.
The Taj Mahal hotel was the scene of a three-day battle between Indian commandos and terrorists who stormed the luxurious Mumbai landmark as part of their deadly rampage through the city in November 2008
On the first day of his visit, Obama will pay homage to the victims of 26/11 Mumbai attacks at Hotel Taj where he is expected to make a statement on terrorism.
obama is to visit Mani Bhavan where a Mahatma Gandhi Museum stands...
some of the volunteers at Mani Bhavan have expressed displeasure over heightened security arrangements.
"Mani Bhavan is the place associated with Gandhi who promoted non-violence. But every day people from White House and US security agencies are coming with guns and sniffer dogs"
Criticism is sure to come as the trip approaches and it should, when unemployment stands at near 10%, and families struggle to make ends meet...
It is clear that obama and michelle and his administration learned nothing from the public outcry...
Economic collapse + civil unrest, then domestic nukes.
80% ?
that and shoes would be helpful.
does anyone expect him to come back? is he setting up the Eastern WH in Indonesia?
You won't be shocked to find out I've been wrong before.
But yeah, I'm putting all my chips on 80% *black*.
Maybe he knows we’re going to get nuked so he left.
I read today, too, that he is escorting corporate leaders. What companies, I wonder.
Unless he knows that the landing is HERE...
Whatever the cost is, it’s an over the top
excessive trip to be taken by a President
(ugh I hate using that word to identify him)
while his consituents are losing jobs
and fighting the tide of rising taxes
and lost income.
It’s a horrible display of insensitivity,
it’s almost criminal. Is it merely to bring
that much American cash to India?
Are the 200 CEO’s going to negotiate deals
for more jobs over there on our dime? The whole
thing is wrong and Barry doesn’t give a shit.
The actual price tag of this trip is not cheap,
we can easily determine that. Whatever the price,
it is far too much. THAT is the argument.
He is taking over 200 CEOs with him. Companies include: United Technologies, DuPont, Dow Chemical, Pepsico and McGraw Hill.
Noah’s Ark
If President Bush had done ANYTHING like this, the press would be all over it. From what I’ve read, the WH won’t release hardly anything about his Vacay.
The more I think about it this junket is a dress rehearsal/training exercise. It allows the SS, the FBI and the military to debug their security procedures and be ready for when they have to evacuate the heads of state and set up the government in exile for real.
