New Delhi: The White House will, of course, stay in Washington but the heart of the famous building will move to India when President Barack Obama lands in Mumbai on Saturday.

Communications set-up, nuclear button, a fleet of limousines and majority of the White House staff will be in India accompanying the President on this three-day visit that will cover Mumbai and Delhi.

He will also be protected by a fleet of 34 warships, including an aircraft carrier, which will patrol the sea lanes off the Mumbai coast during his two-day stay there beginning Saturday. The measure has been taken as Mumbai attack in 2008 took place from the sea.

Good. His best chance to defect.

I didn’t get past the first thought - you?

So the itinerary is to visit India and to stop at BOTH of its major enemies, Pok-e-stan on the way in, and China on the way out?

Got it.

[Is the homeland going to be attacked?]

You know, when I first started reading this and read the article on Drudge Report too - that very thought crossed my mind!

It said, "the whole White House is going", then you read; 3,000 people including Secret Service agents, US government officials and journalists would accompany the President. Two jets, armed with advanced communication and security systems,a fleet of 34 warships, including an aircraft carrier..........for a two day stay in Mumbai!!

WHY ? Does he know something we don't know? I haven't read through the thread and probably others have said this too.

I’d forgotten the name of the group....but I remember the main ideas...Aren’t there several of European nobility involved too? Wonder what they hold over people’s heads to keep them quiet?

Defect?

I want him sent back in shackles to his country of nativity or legal citizenship - so that’s either Kenya or Indonesia.

[GOPJ]

Maybe no one suggested a Teleconference as a cheaper alternative...

LOL - good one, Max.

[GOPJ]

Remember the scene in Red October, when so many ships and aircraft were all sharing such a small maneuvering area, in trigger happy chaos? 34 ships may be the target, not our president. That goes for the hundreds of aircraft as well.

Good point.

[GOPJ]

Let's say, purely by coincidence, the United Sates suffers under horrific terrorist assault while he is away. The old Congress is on the way out and the new congress is not yet sworn in. Meanwhile, back in the land of the sacred cow, Great Leader and his mighty 4,000 can (after the nuclear / chemical / and or biological smoke clears) return safe and victorious.

Good points.

“Overview

Secure Flight, the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) behind-the-scenes watch list matching program, fulfills a key recommendation of the 9/11 Commission by assuming responsibility of watch list matching from individual airlines. By establishing a consistent watch list matching system, Secure Flight enhances aviation security and more effectively facilitates air travel for passengers.

Secure Flight requires airlines to collect a passenger’s full name (as it appears on government-issued ID), date of birth, gender and Redress Number (if applicable). By providing complete information, passengers can significantly decrease the likelihood of watch list misidentification. Secure Flight watch list matching takes a matter of seconds to complete, and providing this data enables passengers to print their boarding passes at home or at an airline kiosk.

For airlines, November 1, 2010, marks the end of the year-long grace period to clear out their systems of older reservations made before Secure Flight requirements took effect in October 2009. After November 1, 2010, Secure Flight will not conduct watch list matching or approve the issuance of a boarding pass by an airline if complete passenger data is not submitted.”

Wouldn't having the U.S. Government all in the same place at the same time make for a walloping terrorist strike if the religion of peace wanted such a thing? How really secure can the Indians and "Americans" make Mumbai and a bunch of hotels over there. None of this passes a smell test for common sense or good judgement...

Interesting.

[GOPJ]

Something is about to happen, here. OMG! People wake up!!!!<./I>

Attack or riots? There's something odd about the trip...

[GOPJ]

There are some on the thread expressing concern - I pulled quotes above. I’m hoping the folks who think it’s narcissism are right...

[blackdog]

The only remaining logistics question I have, is...........

Where does Michelle get to park the Millenium Falcon?

[I’m hoping the folks who think it’s narcissism are right...]

I hope so too!
He’s pushed us so far that it’s no wonder we’d get into “conspiracy thoughts” about him.

[FlashBack]

Thanks for posting, I will have to pass that sentiment along to some friends.

[penelopesire]

“Still- it’s peculiar, isn’t it?”

None of the scenarios bode well...the most likely explanation at this point is even more unsettling...Obama is just bat$*&^ crazy...LOL. That should make us all feel safe,warm and cozy.

[blackdog]

Me thinks we’ll be getting a visit from “Captain Hindsight” very soon.

[eastforker]

A life ending event? OK, tin foil on squarely,anyone heard of any meteors or asteroids on the pathway to earth?

[HollyB]

Did you hear about his very own 1 kilometer tunnel?
