"or is he expecting something really terrible to happen here in the US that’s why he is getting out of here and taking 3000 people with him"

Sword of Damocles ping.

Maybe he will come back with a couple of footlockers full of sea shells for the treasury!

Rumors are not true:

Will 34 warships accompany Obama to India?

the prospect of President Biden doesn’t scare me at all.

He’s an idiot but he’s a real idiot and an American.

But the prospect of a martyred Obama scares me to death.

He is a paranoid narcissist with delusions of grandeur. He has absolutely no concern for the taxpayer who is funding his grandiose junkets. God help us.

Last time a foreign military contingent that large went to India, it was the British.

Imperialism!

Why does he need nuclear button?

He’s going to hand it over to the Pohk-ee-stahn-ees?

FWIW, there have been several carrier groups stationed in the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf region since at least August....target: IRAN.

No way is this connected to the Obama World Tour........

From the article you linked:
Sure enough, there are not 34 ships – and there isn’t an aircraft carrier – supporting the president’s trip, said a defense official, who declined to provide any information on security measures for presidential trips.

But the news editor for Press Trust of India said they stand by their story.

“Foreign media always exaggerate about presidential trips,” Gordon Johndroe, former deputy White House spokesman under President George W. Bush, said in an e-mail.. “I am positive there will not be ‘34 warships’ involved in this trip.”

So the guy who declined ANY information says he's sure there will not be 34 warships. 35 maybe? I wouldn't say that the "rumors" are not true based upon this story.

So, if it’s not 34 ships, how many ships is it?

Notice the article doesn’t say “no ships”. It only says “no aircraft carrier”.

Looks like the infamous 3 AM phone call...with Zero holding the phone upside down.
Let's listen in on the conversation, shall we?...

Admiral: I'm having a hard time hearing this conversation, Mr. President...If you could please spell out how you want the fleet formed up one more time...

B0: Yes, Admiral, I want the carrier as the guide ship and all the other ships lined up to the Left of the carrier. That's the port side, Admiral...Portside! PAPA-OSCAR-ROMEO-TANGO-SIERRA-INDIA-DELTA-ECHO...Portside!....

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.

The heart? Wrong piece of anatomy.

He posted this BS as a separate thread.

I think he wants to send a message to China. We are already in a currency war with China.

He's too stupid to be sending any sort of message to China. He's showing off to his wife.
