34 warships sent from US for Obama visit
NDTV ^ | November 4, 2010

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.

I think the trip is to bribe his staff with some "well-earned" (in his esteem opinion) R & R on the taxpayer's dime, nothing more, nothing less.

34 ships... can you imagine the reaction by the media if this were a Republican Emper-, er, President ?

OK, so if he's flying in and he's spending his time on land why the need to protect the sea lanes?

Any ships in the Indian Ocean are there because of Iraq and Afghanistan and not because of Obama.

I just reread the article (quickly) and didn’t see that the 34 warships are American ships...perhaps they’re Indian (and perhaps they are actually small vessels).

“How did Ears get into Pakistan back when Americans were barred from entering?”

Let's put an end to the above misinformation: Americans were NEVER barred/prohibited/banned from traveling to Pakistan. There was a time when the state department ADVISED Americans not to travel to that country (and it probably has been reinstated today because of the turmoil there).

The questions about his passports are still valid.

How appropriate. 300 was a homofest.

I know India doesn’t like MUZZIES and the Obamma feels threatened but isn’t this a little overkill, so to speak?

Obama is America’s embarrassment.

Citizens in other countries are wondering how the Americans could have been so stupid to elect such a bozo.

It seems that every 30 years or so Americans lose their collective mind and elect a bozo. Jimmy Carter being Obama’s predecessor.

Anyone stop and think that maybe those are ships from the Indian navy? They have a pretty good sized fleet of their own and Mumbai is their city.

This quote was translated into English from an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2010.

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America .

Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

I thought this for a long time but I was wrong. US Citizens were not barred but were asked to report their travel and to be very careful while there.

Thanks. I'll remember that. I thought there was a ban. I guess I was misinformed. Still, what passport did he use? What citizenship was he claiming then? Why are his college records all sealed? (I have been told they are sealed. I have not personally gone to request them.)

It says “Sent from US” and so does the link for the article.
