President Barack Obama is expected to receive a warm welcome in Australia Wednesday, but just in case the reception is wilder than expected a firm has offered him insurance against crocodiles.
Obama will be the fifth president to visit close ally Australia, and his flying two-day visit will take in the staid capital Canberra as well as the Northern Territory town of Darwin, in the heart of "Crocodile Dundee" country.
Local firm TIO has snapped up the opportunity to insure the high-profile visitor, issuing a him with a Crocodile Attack Insurance policy which will pay out Aus$50,000 (US$50,870) if the president is fatally attacked by a reptile.
"It's a unique product for a unique environment and we're excited to be issuing one of these policies for Obama as a memento of his time in the Territory," chief executive Richard Harding said.

“Note to Australian crocodiles: Tastes like chicken.”
Certainly should, given the number of times Obama voted Present via the “chicken button”
They ONLY insured his crocodile MOUTH. His parakeet ass is still fair game.
With his vast economic experience in the catastrophic loss industry, I'm sure Pres--ent Obambi paid no less than $50,871 for this cover. On the other hand, if one of his contributors is the broker/reinsurer, he probably paid $500 million for it.
Having said that, Pres--ent Obambi IS an expert in catastrophic loss, witness exhibit A, the U.S. economy.
I must admit I considered the colloquial usage of "chicken" as well.
Love that “Pearls”.
We can all hope Obama becomes a “fried chicken” at the next election.
