But at least during his state visit to India this weekend he won't have to worry about dodging falling coconuts as well as how to forge ties with the resurgent Republicans.

Barf alert? YES for a couple of pics in the article. They have put what looks to me like a 7 story tall pic of the great 0 on the side of a building and......

Has any other US politician been greeted in India with such adulation? Keeping in mind, of course, that India is largely pantheistic — they might actually consider him a significant god. Oy, but I wouldn’t want his karma.

They removed the coconuts because they did not want anything resembling him drawing attention away from his image.

The next week will be full of projectile barfing at my TV for sure.

It's amazing. Someone almost always comes up with what I am thinking on these threads.

His ego is already monumental! I did wonder if they considered him ‘god’ status. The whole trip is strange imo. 3000 people? give us a break already! Who r they & why r they going?

“They removed the coconuts because they did not want anything resembling him drawing attention away from his image.”

Resembling how?

Brown on the outside, white on the inside?

Tough outer shell but empty inside?

Useless in their natural form but fun to crack open?

Not on the side of the building. It is a gross out smiley face of the psychopath on freestanding billboard near the highway with the building far behind it. It is 25’ to 30’ high and square.

Question: Why is Obama going to India?
Answer: He is recruiting for 7-11. He wants the best slurpie makers in Washington.

Are they afraid he will steal them and give some to those without any?
