Mr. Obama's trip to India may not be the great diplomatic success that the administration was hoping for. Our friends in the world's most populous democracy are getting steamed over the state department's heavy handed tactics. High ranking officials from the state of Maharashtra were invited to an event at the Taj Mahal hotel with Mr. Obama, but were told that they would have to show their papers to get in. According to The Times of India:
Miffed by the US consulate demanding personal details like birth date, nationality and passport number, Maharashtra's top politicians and bureaucrats have decided to pay it back in the same currency. While the home minister and the home secretary have declined to attend an event graced by President Barack Obama, four others, including chief minister Ashok Chavan and deputy chief minister Chhagan Bhujbal, are mulling the same.
"We are shocked over the tone of the invitation letter. (US consul general Paul) Folmsbee expects Chavan and Bhujbal to produce their identity cards before entering the venue. They have been asked to submit their details like date of birth, nationality, passport and PAN to the consulate," said a senior official on condition of anonymity. "We feel this is no way to treat the chief minister of a state. Chavan and Bhujbal are undecided on whether to attend the event."

Maybe the displaced monkeys will start throwing coconuts at him.
Very good point!
Barry thinks he is worth more than he is worth.
I don’t think he is worth a hoot.
He can stay over there so we can recover from his treachery.
I think about this a lot, and don’t know how to state it correctly.
With all respect, Indian and British culture really compliment each other. Indians have taken the best of dignity, decorum, and order from the British colonists.
How humiliating to have a boob like Obama represent the United States. They will probably be gracious to Obama’s face, but garner a lifetime of jokes behind his back.
How about a monkey uprising...They’ve got this 8th sense.
Before this assclown is done over there, it’s going to end up costing us another $1B.
So hussein obama and his "team" have the ... {words escape me} ... to go to India, and demand "papers" from high ranking officials in their own Country? Yet back home these self-same idiots want to prevent law enforcement officers in Arizona from asking for ID?
Is obama stoned, drunk, stupid, or utterly clueless as to his own raging hypocrisy? If idiocy were fatal he and his entire cabinet would be six feet under already.
Typical lack of class we’ve come to expect from the one-termer.
If only they had left some of coconuts on the trees....
*wink*

That would be so sweet...
I think you put that well. The Indians are such a great people. It frosts me that Bambi is insulting them like this.
“So will India up the ante by asking for his birth certificate before letting him into the country?”
They should have to begin with.
You show me yours and I will show you mine.
HAA HAA Good one!
LOL another good one! Freepers are the best.
So true. The problem is, we'd have trouble finding a buyer.
At this point, I'm not sure even Oprah and the Hollywood elite would be that wiling to fork over the big $$$
