Barack Obama and his travelling delegation have booked at least 800 rooms for the president's trip to Mumbai, including the entire Taj Mahal hotel. "Obama's contingent is huge," a senior Indian security official told the newspaper. "There are two jumbo jets coming along with Air Force One, which will be flanked by security jets. The President's convoy has 45 cars."
The Economic Times also reported that Mr Obama's delegation is so large that another 300 rooms have reportedly been booked in other luxury Mumbai hotels.
The scale and cost of the visit is certain to provoke criticism from Mr Obama's Republican foes in the US at a time when the country is mired in economic difficulties, with unemployment standing at nearly 10 per cent.
The report also claimed Mrs Obama has been invited to visit Mumbai's red-light district, the largest in the world, to meet prostitutes and hear about their lives. (Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
=======================================
ANALYSIS This exorbitant India trip is being done deliberatly. Americans were vociferous about the Fuhrer’s wife trip to Spain.....followed by yet another summer vacation, where they gorged on lobster. The arrogant, entitled Obamas decide to show their unmitigated attempt for American opinion.....by booking this expansive trip on the taxpayers’ dime.
His Royal Highness won't say why he's going to India. But it's a good way for him and all the SEIU and ACORN to see the world in luxury on the taxpayers' dime.
