I think that while Zero and his moocher minions are vacationing in India and other locales, GWB should set up for a huge book signing on the White House Lawn — what could be more fun! I’d go and certainly buy the book!
You ask why India and it is a good question.
Toward the end of his second term, clinton took about the same number of planes and people to India. Two week vacation. I remember seeing a picture in a newspaper showing multiple USA planes in a landing pattern in India. Strange coincidence but still makes no sense.
1. Why are the Indians putting up with this imposition on their daily lives (other than for the money)?
2. WTH are WE putting up with this arrogant a$$clown?
Why, that’s just plain silly.
“Why is this trip getting such little (if any) press in the lamestream media???:
Because 150 journalists are going with him? They wouldn’t want to tell American people just yet. They want their vacation first.

You will know he’s bugging out for good when he gets on Airforce One with his prayer rug and heads for Kenya to be with his people.

I think he was getting out of town because of what might happen with the fed and the whole QE2 and the ensuing chaos that might bring. Further people are speculating there may be some problems that occur when the large hadron collider starts up again they will be doing some very high voltage firing (tera-volt range) and particle collision that some people are saying could theoretically cause big problems. Sometime around 11-8 to 11-11.
If the check bounces while he’s there, is the return ticket voided?!?!
Is his personal chef going to burn beef on the balcony?
Excellent observation.

Many might not take the above seriously; many more, however, obviously do. Americans online who speak their mind, are a good indicator of what citizens are really thinking, their fears, their anger, their frustration, etc.
Those who do speak out online, and those who read online are at least as good as professionals who consider themselves "journalists," etc, and report on the American state of mind.
The "bloggers"--so-called, actually anyone who uses the internet to express their civic opinion on various levels--are, I think, the real journalists, modern town criers and pamphleteers of today providing a great service.

Does anyone know if this is for real?
Well just about everything else has been outsourced to India.
Why not Obozo?

34 warships sent from US for Obama India visit
Press Trust of India, Updated: November 04, 2010 19:04 IST
New Delhi: The White House will, of course, stay in Washington but the heart of the famous building will move to India when President Barack Obama lands in Mumbai on Saturday.
Communications set-up, nuclear button, a fleet of limousines and majority of the White House staff will be in India accompanying the President on this three-day visit that will cover Mumbai and Delhi.
He will also be protected by a fleet of 34 warships, including an aircraft carrier, which will patrol the sea lanes off the Mumbai coast during his two-day stay there beginning Saturday. The measure has been taken as Mumbai attack in 2008 took place from the sea.
Arrangements have been put in place for emergency evacuation, if needed.
Obama is expected to fly by a helicopter — Marine One — from the city airport to the Indian Navy’s helibase INS Shikra at Colaba in south Mumbai.
From there, he will drive down in Lincoln Continental — the Presidential limousine — to the nearby the Taj Hotel.
Two jets, armed with advanced communication and security systems, and a fleet of over 40 cars will be part of Obamas convoy.
Around 800 rooms have been booked for the President and his entourage in Taj Hotel and Hyatt.
The President will have a security ring of American elite Secret Service, which are tasked to guard the President, along with National Security Guards (NSG) and personnel from central paramilitary forces and local police in Mumbai and Delhi.
Similar arrangements will be in place in Delhi, with the Air Force One to be kept in all readiness throughout Obama’s stay here from Sunday afternoon to Tuesday morning.
Maurya Hotel, where the President will stay, has already been swarmed by American security personnel and protective measures have been put in place.
Security drills are already been carried out at the hotel as well as Rajghat which he will visit.
Sources said 13 heavy-lift aircraft with high-tech equipment, three helicopters and 500 US security personnel have arrived in India ahead of Obama’s visit.
The US security has also brought interception and obstruction device, sniffer dogs, rescue gadgets.
Apart from Obama’s Air Force One, a few private luxury jets carrying top American corporate leaders, who are part of Obama entourage, are also expected to arrive in India in next 2-3 days.
All high-rise buildings in the vicinity of Mumbai’s Taj Mahal hotel and Delhi’s Maurya Sheraton hotel, where the US President will stay, are being sanitised and security personnel will be positioned on rooftops to prevent any air-borne attack.
The Ridge area - opposite Delhi’s Maurya Sheraton hotel - has been illuminated by floodlights as part of the heightened security drill.
The Home Ministry has already issued an alert for Mumbai and Delhi asking authorities to take extra precautions during Obama’s visit as well as on Diwali on Friday.
