One Helluva Visit to Bombay, Mr. President!

A couple of excerpts from the news item:

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...

...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.

It appears that the US population will be a lot smaller during his trip.

Those rooms are $300-$500+ per night.

Best part of the article, I thought. Michelle is going to visit commercial sex workers (prositutes) Why? Bet Bill Clinton would want to tag along.

Yah. But Obama prolly got a discount. 20% off if you book everything in sight.

I doubt it. His team doesn't seem to really care about spending other people's money.
