Since Obama is expected to arrive in the afternoon on November 6, and will travel by road to the Taj Mahal Hotel, the entire stretch from airport to the hotel will be under heavy security.
To ensure fool-proof security, the President’s team has booked the entire the Taj Mahal Hotel, including 570 rooms, all banquets and restaurants. Since his security contingent and staff will comprise a huge number, 125 rooms at Taj President have also been booked, apart from 80 to 90 rooms each in Grand Hyatt and The Oberoi hotels. The NCPA, where the President is expected to meet representatives from the business community, has also been entirely booked.
The officer said, “Obama’s contingent is huge. There are two jumbo jets coming along with Air Force One, which will be flanked by security jets. There will be 30 to 40 secret service agents, who will arrive before him. The President’s convoy has 45 cars, including the Lincoln Continental in which the President travels.”
Since Obama will stay in a hotel that is on sea front, elaborate coastal security arrangements have been made by the US Navy in consonance with the Indian Navy and the Coast Guard. “There will be US naval ships, along with Indian vessels , patrolling the sea till about 330-km from the shore. This is to negate the possibility of a missile being fired from a distance,” the officer said.
The President will be accompanied by his chefs, not because he would not like to savour Indian cuisine, but to ensure his food is not spiked.
Is it any wonder why his crew will be ousted in November and he will be shown the door in 2012? He’s out campaigning so he can keep himself in the king seat
Bill Clinton had similar junkets—to Africa at the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and later a trip to Red China. I don’t know if Obama’s entourage will be larger than Clinton’s, but as a confirmed narcissist he probably feels the need to outdo the Arkansas cracker.

Robert Mugabe with a teleprompter. Maybe he should be carried around on a gold throne by a squad of his fanatic acolytes. He’s too good to be a mere president.
Do we, the people footing the bills, get to see the list of names of who is going on this trip? Does anyone know if we have access to that info?
I have a sneaking suspicion we’d find personal friends bringing their families, and stuff like that.

This sounds very excessive. Is there anyway to find out what is a normal number of hotel rooms for a Presidential visit. I’d love to see a comparison of the cost of a Bush trip oversees with one of Obama’s.
that's bigger than a Pink Floyd tour.
I am at Caesar’s Palace in Vegas right now. He stayed here last night. I have it on VERY good authority that they took up 6 FLOORS of rooms for TWO NIGHTS (even though he was only here for 1 night). That was over 400 rooms each night for two nights, 800 ROOMS!!! And it was sold out. They had to move blocks of people to other hotels.
.
I guess its in the Secret Service’s hands, and the fact that he is the first black president makes him even more of a target. My coworkers met him in the gym this morning.
Is this real? Talk about white trash.

“Yes We Can” and you can’t stop us because we won!
I'm looking forward to Barack taking his meals at 4:30AM at the Good Stuff Diner on 14th Street (NYC) or the equivalent.
Calling Al Bore!... Are you going to complain about it? < /sarc
On a lighter note: India is installing teleprompters in their Parliament for the first time because of the Dear Reader's visit. You can't make this $h#t up!
How true. This weasel belongs in prison for fraud.
I wish I could find the place where I found that Obama wrote in wet cement when he was 5 years old: Obama is King.
LOL!!
He is blowing it like there is no tomorrow. He may know something.
