Another Marie Antoinette Moment; Obamas Book all 570 Rooms at Taj Mahal Hotel

====================

Entire Taj Mahal Hotel Reportedly Booked for Obama Mumbai Visit

October 24, 2010

President Obama’s aides have booked the entire Taj Mahal hotel ahead of the president’s high-profile visit to the Indian city rocked by a terrorist attack two years ago, The Economic Times reports.

The newspaper reported that the Obama administration has reserved all 570 rooms, as well as the hotel’s restaurants, to ensure airtight security when the president and first lady Michelle Obama visit Mumbai early next month.

Dozens of other rooms have been booked elsewhere in the city.

The Times reported that downtown Mumbai will be under heavy security while the president is in town — the first leg of a broader Asian trip. In addition, U.S. naval and Indian ships reportedly will patrol the waterfront outside the hotel to guard against any attacks.

45-Car Convoy, 700 Hotel Rooms, 2 Jumbo Jets For Obamas’ Mumbai Trip

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.”

Since Obama will stay in a hotel that is on sea front, elaborate coastal security arrangements have been made by the US Navy in consonance with the Indian Navy and the Coast Guard. “There will be US naval ships, along with Indian vessels , patrolling the sea till about 330-km from the shore. This is to negate the possibility of a missile being fired from a distance,” the officer said.

The President will be accompanied by his chefs, not because he would not like to savour Indian cuisine, but to ensure his food is not spiked.

===============================

From a President who SAYS he knows how we “feel” about loss of jobs, money and opportunity that books ALL 570 rooms at a luxurious hotel in India for “security” reasons.

REMEMBER THIS WHEN OBAMA BLEATS OVER THE NEXT WEEK OF HOW GREAT IT IS TO VOTE IN A PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT……

Here is an IDEA Mr. and Mrs. Obama:  STAY AT THE US EMBASSY in India.  Security is already built in and you would possibly be safer staying there at less of an expense on the TAXPAYER’s DIME.

WHAT IS THE COST TO US TAXPAYERS FOR THIS?

HAD ENOUGH YET AMERICA?
