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

Posted on 11/04/2010 5:18:09 AM PDT by maggief

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.

“See post #2 for “Obama’s schedule in India.””

Did. The question remains: why is he going? Nothing on that schedule, separate or inclusive, is worth $2,000,000,000. It’s a vacation arranged as a business trip, doing just enough “work” to write off the whole thing and justify the enormous cost of one of the greatest junkets of all time.

It’s enough to support 80,000 families for a year.

Now that you've brought up the Muslims . . .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, IMO. I smell something really bad here and it's not Michelle Obama.

Are we sure it’s not his entire shadow government and the chosen crony capitalists from WS that will remake our country into a marxist hellhole after some ‘manmade disaster’ while he’s away?

I am half kidding...but only half. This whole thing is actually getting kind of spooky. If I could get all of my family and friends out of the country next week while he is away, it would be very tempting to do so.

Ye gods! Obama must think he is either an Egyptian Pharaoh or Chinese Emperor. Or perhaps the Gao’uld System Lord Apophis (Stargate 1). This is completely and totally ridiculous, and getting more so by the minute.

34 warships and an aircraft carrier. If Iran is ready to make a move, this is a good time.

A refurbished plane for Obama (Narcissist in Chief needed AF1 equipped with big screens and ESPN?)

politico ^ | 10/26/2010 | Matt Negrin

Before President Obama boarded the refurbished Air Force One to go to Rhode Island, he thanked the “more than 60 Air Force men and women” who worked on the plane at Andrews Air Force Base, the pool reports.

Obama shook hands with all of the Air Force members by the stairs, the pool says

It IS odd...but the problem I have with our paranoia is the one I always have- IF something big were afoot- someone would be talking- secrets this big simply can’t be kept by ordinary people.

Still- it’s peculiar, isn’t it?

A couple of days ago I was indeed discussing that scenario, not much reaction to it but in a condensed version I will repeat what my thoughts were.

This could very well be the dreaded event we won’t see coming, perhaps theoretically lets say Obama has some ties to Pakistan from his past, Pakistan and India are shall we say, less than best of friends?

Lets assume terrorists have placed a compact “backpack” type of a device near or at the Mumbai Palace,Muslims have shown they will attack twice at the same spot. Who can say if Obama actually knows what will happen, but one could say at this current phase of his dynasty falling out from under him that it would be a perfect time to be a martyr, and to be immortalized before he is cast out of office in disgrace.

If he narrowly escapes from a terrorist attack he may enact certain laws because it was an “emergency”, a term that seems to be a marching tune for him and even Pelosi.

I really do believe something will happen while he is there, it may of course also happen here in the US at the same time, like a biological attack at theme parks.

Its too big and illogical for a POTUS to go to the extremes like this, heck they are even knocking down all the coconuts from the trees in fear one may drop on his head somewhere.

I suggest being prepared for a national emergency to arise, because its his agenda that has been attacked and he isn’t facing reality with traditional thinking, he still hates America.

Probably many times more so no, he is a hurt wild animal right now.

He did call us enemies...

something very bad is about to go down.

If this is all for show to India or the Middle East...I think not.

Why would he need this kind of “show?” Who is he trying to impress or scare?

It’s not India.

This loser Ohaha has a major self-esteem problem -- he squanders billions to prop up his limp id.

The trip's extravagance exhibits Ohaha's maharajah fixation. Freud would have a field day with this guy.

Ohaha's India visit @ $200 million per day includes two Air Force One's, 5 jumbo jets, 40 limos, 3000 fellow travelers, majority of the White House staff, Mrs O and the kiddies, communications set-up, nuclear button, 34 US warships and an aircraft carrier to patrol the sea lanes........and two luxe hotels booked solid so that these swillers can eat, drink, and live high on the taxpayers' dime.

Conservative bloggers take note...this whole India extravaganza right after our Conservative Revolution is like the front and back of a coin. Responsible, concerned Americans on one side and the Keynesian on the other. Contrast the absurdity of this and hang this like a millstone around his neck.

I said the other day too....

The ultimate suicide bomb attack.

Dumb question for the military folks of FR...How many warships do we have? Are they all deployed over in the ME with this trip and Afghanistan?

We’re in trouble.
