AW, COME ON. THEY'RE TAKING COCONUTS OFF THE TREES IN MUMBAI? FOR OBAMA?
So you don't f***ing walk under the trees, and you don't park there, either. Any idiot knows that. He knows that from Indonesia. I learned it in the Florida Keys.
What...is someone going to lob one at him? Are you kidding? With 34 warships?
Please blog or dig this piece of complete idiocy~
IF YOU'RE ABOUT TO LOSE YOUR JOB, OR ARE JOBLESS, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU...FROM OBAMA
Obamas want to celebrate Diwali in India
"He (Obama) specifically wanted to have an opportunity to celebrate Diwali and to do so with the Indian people, getting beyond simply his official business," Jeff Bader, Senior Director for Asia Affairs at the National Security Council, White House, said.
Bader and other top US officials were responding to questions at "Tuesday Talks at the White House", a live web cast from the White House on the forthcoming 10-day Asia trip of the US President.
Commencing his four-day trip to India, Obama arrives along with First Lady Michelle Obama in Mumbai on November 6, a day after Diwali, and are scheduled to visit a school in the city on the following day.
At that school, he will participate in a Diwali celebration, which includes lighting a lantern. And then the President will have an opportunity to watch some schoolchildren perform a cultural dance associated with it, Bader said. (Watch the school that Obama will visit) (It's included in the link below - of course, it is a private, Christian school - he wouldn't go anywhere where the soles of his shoes would get dirty.)
"So he'll have the opportunity to celebrate Diwali with these schoolchildren in Mumbai specifically, and with the Indian people more broadly," the official said.
"Last year we were very excited to host the Diwali event, a celebration here at the White House, underscoring again the importance of the festival as a wonderful holiday," he said, referring to last year's Diwali celebrations here.

New York Post: NYC cops prepare for "Mumbai"
Ever think that the police, whatever you call them - those in law enforcement - would prefer to be home protecting their families?
Do you think your local politicians own personal firearms?
Why are there Secret Service or bodyguards? Do they just have cans of pepper spray in their pockets?
We need to look to ourselves to protect our family, friends and possessions.
Self-reliance is a very good attribute.

Ron Paul on the Mumbai massacre and American gun control
Gun Control: Protecting Terrorists and Despots
“Tragically, over the Thanksgiving holiday, the world was reminded how evil and cruel people can be. According to emerging accounts of the events in India, about a dozen well-armed and devastatingly well-trained terrorists laid siege on the city of Mumbai, killing almost two hundred people, and terrorizing thousands. Regardless of the reasons, the indiscriminate shooting on masses of unarmed and defenseless people is chilling and reprehensible. How were these terrorists able to continue so long, relatively unchallenged, killing so many? India’s gun laws are her business, of course. However, once the shock of these events and the initial reaction of fear passes, Americans should take away a valuable lesson about real homeland security and gun control from this tragedy.”

Why Mumbai, India?
Because the innocents were at the terrorists' mercy. Completely defenseless.
