Obama begins his India trip with a defiant message on terror at the Taj hotel
dailymail ^

* The Obamas are staying at the Taj Hotel to show unity against terror * $200million trip cost denied but the President and First Lady will have huge entourage and massive security precautions * The First Lady made a solo visit to students and played barefoot hopscotch

President Barack Obama opened his 10-day Asia trip with a tribute to the victims of the devastating terror attacks that tore through Mumbai two years ago. 'We'll never forget,' he said.

The president said he intended to send a signal by making Mumbai the first stop on four-country Asia trip and by staying at the Taj.

While visiting the memorial the President signed a memorial book, writing, 'The United States stands in solidarity with all of Mumbai and all of India in working to eradicate the scourge of terrorism'

'The United States and India stand united,' he said.

The president spoke after meeting privately with relatives of those killed in the November 2008 attack. He and first lady Michelle Obama visited an outdoor memorial, an open-air fountain with floating flowers just off the lobby at the Taj.

He also signed a memorial book, writing, 'The United States stands in solidarity with all of Mumbai and all of India in working to eradicate the scourge of terrorism.'

Afterward, Obama visited a museum in a home where Mohandas Gandhi once lived. A framed illustration of Gandhi walking was at the center of the library in the steamy museum. The Obamas signed a guest book there, too. The president wrote that Gandhi 'is a hero not just to India, but to the world' and his wife promised to 'always treasure' the visit.

It’s quite revealing that Obama and Michelle have so much reverence for India, and none for the US. Oh, wait, Michelle was proud of the US for the first time when Obama was elected. They prostrate themselves for a third world country, pardon me, India, no offense. But no sense of awe and love for us. Stupid doesn’t even begin to describe this pair, but Marxist comes close.

Too bad that he didn't say "...never forget," on September 11th of this year in the USA. Instead he called us intolerant for not supporting a Mosque at ground zero in New York.

He was so worked up he forgot who the terrorists are.

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday criticised United States President Barack Obama's speech at the 26/11 memorial at the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai, for not mentioning Pakistan as the perpetrator of the terror attacks in 2008, which had targeted the luxurious hotel.

Easy to say when you have 34 warships providing cover.

What about: "Can't we all just get along?".

The US voted the 0 into office. Everything flows from that little escapade.

"The president spoke after meeting privately with relatives of those killed in the November 2008 attack."

Did this empty suit, scumbag ever meet with the families of the Ft. Hood victims who were murdered by a terrorist a year ago?
