The entourage will be the biggest ever in terms of logistics and manpower for any US president.
The president himself will be ferried around in a black Cadillac - dubbed 'Barack Mobile' - which has its own built in communications centre - to enable Obama to be in touch with the White House, US vice president and the US strategic command
The car also has the US nuke launch codes and the nuclear switch for the president. It can also withstand a chemical or germ warfare or even a bomb attack.
Obama will be accompanied on the trip by US first lady Michelle Obama and their daughters Malia and Sasha, according to Indian newspaper Headlines Today.

or
They are not coming back.
Is that a visit or an invasion?
I can’t believe that even the DemonRATS will let this slide.
Such an ostentatious exhibition of garish opulence at a time when at least a fifth of the employable population is out of work and struggling to pay the bills, exceedingly transcends the arrogance even of Marie Antoinette.
They didn’t mention all the teleprompters Obama brought with him.
Just hope there is not a planned crisis for us while they are gone.
“The car also has the US nuke launch codes and the nuclear switch for the president....”
He’s probably gonna nuke the US once he gets over there...lol.
Insane. Some adults better get in place soon and stop this insane royalty treatment that the scum politicians demand or there is going to be a run on guillotines.
I don’t think this is what the Founding Fathers had in mind for the presidency. Washington, Jackson, Lincoln or even Eisenhower wouldn’t recognize it. No Roman Ceasar, Czar, Tsar, King, Kaiser, Queen, Shah, Emperor or Pasha in history thought this much of themselves.
The nouveau riche often flaunt, either out of ignorance or insecurity. It’s both amusing and pathetic.
These are not mere theives.
They are plunderers.
No president EVER so openly and extensively abused the perquisites of his office.
That was my first thought when I heard about this.
40 planes
a fleet of vehicles
500 rooms + food + booze
...any guesses?
Let’s see, he’s used the phrase “Slurpee sipping” at lease a dozen times in the past few weeks.
Slurpee is a registered trade name of the 7-Eleven company.
7-11 is how most of the world would write November 7.
He will conveniently be in India on 7-11.
There are those who have speculated that “Slurpee” is a go code for a major terrorist attack or series of attack.
Oh, and 7-Eleven? Their corporate slogan is “Oh Thank Heaven for 7-11” (as close to “praise allah” as you can get in the ‘minds’ of some people...)
If he’s so worried that he needs all that security and protection, then why in the heck is he taking his little girls?
Especially first generation, affirmative action, closet moslem, nouveau riche...
How hard would it be to convince everyone to keep O! there for a while longer than expected??
Like maybe a few years?...
