Obama’s 855-Room Junket to India: What About the Deficit?

Having created another trillion-dollar deficit for the current fiscal year, President Obama is working on yet another deficit buster with his extravagant two-day visit to India in November.

As reported in part, Obama’s travel scheme is hardly what one would expect from a president dedicated to deficit reduction: http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/new ... 797379.cms

To ensure fool-proof security, the President’s team has booked the entire the Taj Mahal Hotel, including 570 rooms, all banquets and restaurants. Since his security contingent and staff will comprise a huge number, 125 rooms at Taj President have also been booked, apart from 80 to 90 rooms each in Grand Hyatt and The Oberoi hotels. The NCPA, where the President is expected to meet representatives from the business community, has also been entirely booked.

The officer said, “Obama’s contingent is huge. There are two jumbo jets coming along with Air Force One, which will be flanked by security jets. There will be 30 to 40 secret service agents, who will arrive before him. The President’s convoy has 45 cars, including the Lincoln Continental in which the President travels.â€

Yeah, the same guy who won't travel to the US/Texas?Mexico border to personally see what is really going on. Sounds like HE has sufficient security. I guess his hide is a whole lot more important than the people who live on that border.
