Washington: US President Barack Obama on Thursday greeted people across the globe on the occasion of Diwali and said that he is looking forward to his India visit.
Obama arrives in Mumbai a day after Diwali and this year he would be celebrating the festival of lights with school children in the financial capital of India.
"Tomorrow, Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and some Buddhists, here in America and around the world, will celebrate the holiday of Diwali the festival of lights," Obama said in his Diwali message.
"This is a day when members of some of the world's oldest religions celebrate the triumph of good over evil. Last year, I marked this holiday as many will this weekend by lighting the Diya, or lamp. This lamp symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance," he said.
"Diwali is a time for celebration, but it is also a time for reflection a time when we must remember that there are always others less fortunate then ourselves. This holiday reminds us all that we should commit ourselves to helping those in need. For many, this is also a time to gather with family and to pray," Obama said.

One word — Taquia.
Is there a high terror alert to our country that we’re not be TOLD about?
THAT HAS TO BE IT!
One that he’s aware of BUT NOT TELLING ANYONE ELSE!
Is this why he is leaving and taking the warships and that whole huge contingency with him?
TWO BILLION DOLLARS AND COUNTING!
Better Joe biden than the commie that we have now
“Is there a high terror alert to our country that were not be TOLD about?”
Holy cow ... could be.

Ping to post #40.
The whole thing is giving me a serious case of the creeps. Might be time to get out of the urban areas for the week-end at least. I normally would not fall prey to such paranoid thinking, but with this President...who knows?

Good news for All: - Seizethecarp is back.
Misdirection while desperately attempting to recharge satanic batteries at Java Temple.
WTF? Just as he hates and disses Great Britain, supposedly because of their colonialism in Africa, especially in his homeland of Kenya, he also hates American and our traditions and values. India was also a British colony at one time so he likes them. He also likes all our enemies.
That we let a rabid wolf into our sheep pen is still a point of disgust to me.
Is there anything that can be done to recall him from this insane trip? Anyway to de-fund it?
That IS good news, welcome back!
Emergency supplies...it does seem ominous. Election loss, 40 aircraft exodus, what does he need now? Chaos would be my guess.
Oh please....he wants to show his girls where he grew up and went to school....he’s NOT cancelling this time.
This is the first I’ve heard that he grew up in INDIA!!!! Please!
They are going to INDONESIA AFTER INDIA!!!! Get up to snuff!
How interesting!
I heard they’re not going. Just Michelle and only for part of the trip.
There is SO MUCH MIS-INFO, but I don’t think he would NOT take them to see where he grew up. I will feel better if they all DON”T GO!
So he’s officially endorsing religion here.
