He’s taking his entire administration out of country?
No word on Biden, but HRC and Gates with be in Australia.
Comforting, eh?

WASHINGTON: When former US President Bill Clinton visited India in 2000, he was accompanied by his Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
When George W Bush followed in 2006, his Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was in tow.
But when President Barack Obama visits India early next month, his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be conspicuous by her absence.
While this may sound unusual, officials suggest it is simply because of a heavy diplomatic calendar. Hillary, along with Defence Secretary Robert Gates, will be away in Canberra for the US-Australia ministerial talks, when Obama undertakes his November 6-9 visit to India.
