Nothing but the best for Pres Obama when he travels.

I wonder how many rooms are set aside to store his teleprompters?

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.

The Taj Mahal hotel was the scene of a three-day battle between Indian commandos and terrorists who stormed the luxurious Mumbai landmark as part of their deadly rampage through the city in November 2008. The restored hotel reopened in August.

The Secret Service regularly requires the booking of entire hotels or entire floors of hotels. Its part of how they protect the President of the United States from assassins and its the way they've done business for decades.

But I guess now that the President is black you just now noticed.

Then he should stay in smaller hotels so it doesn't cost the taxpayer so much in these hard economic times .... perhaps then he could back off the raising taxes aspect of his policies.....which have nothing to do with his color....so quit using color as a talking point.

Didn't agree with that one either.

I wouldn't like my neighbor borrowing money from me telling me that he wants to feed the poor guy standing on the corner and then I see my neighbor having dinner at a posh restaurant. Seems hypocritical. Any president moaning about raising taxes because we need money for the masses and then spends extravagantly on a state visit pisses me off.

And, I didn't know there was a Tea Party right wing when Bush was in office. In fact, I thought the Tea Party was formed as a result of the overspending that started during the Bush years. Are you sure you know anything about the Tea Party, or are you just "giving us bullshit", cause you certainly aren't speaking as an expert?

The reason - as I have pointed out - is pure hypocrisy. Anything Obama does is, to you guys, by definition - wrong - doesn't matter how many previous Presidents did it. The right would bitch if they found out Obama used whole cream in his coffee instead of half and half.

What the American people wanted was health care reform. They got it.

If the American people wanna change their minds every 6 months that's OK but they shouldn't expect the law to be changed with that frequency.

You'll either need 2/3 of the Senate or a criminal conspiracy if you want to remove him from office buddy. If you're talking about the Republicans trying to win in 2012 - that's not removing a President from office, that's a President's term expiring and the next President's term beginning.

Actually the lowest Presidential approval ratings since they have been keeping track of these sorts of things are held by
1. Truman - 22% in 1952
2. Nixon - 24% in 1973
3. Bush II - 25% in 2008
4. Carter - 28% in 1979
5. Bush I - 29% in 1991

Health care reform? Over 70% of the country want it repealed. It's the most destructive piece of coerced legislation ever written.Back room deals, threats of withholding campaign funds and out right lying. And not one iota of transparency. Pelosi claiming it must pass so we can see whats in it. What's in it is taxes fees and misery. Some will see up to a 45% increase in their premiums. That's his affordable reform. And you are forced to buy it. By the way, Palin is ten times more qualified than the Marxist community organizer.

Maybe you can explain why no one who is bitching about Obama renting an entire hotel bothered to complain when Bush rented nearly all the hotel rooms in Jerusalem?



Don't even try looking for a hotel room in Jerusalem this week. There may be 7,000 hotel rooms in the capitol, but just about all will be occupied by U.S. President George W. Bush's delegation during his visit here Tuesday through Friday.


http://www.haaretz.com/news/security-arrangements-for-bush-visit-to-cost-israel-25-000-an-hour-1.236787


So why is Bush booking nearly 7000 rooms OK but Obama booking several hundred not OK? Oh, yeah, that's right, its because Bush is cool, and we don't like Obama. So whatever Bush did is OK, and whatever Obama does is not OK.

No. Look back in the archives on this site - you won't see a single poster complaining about Bush living it up at the King David Hotel back in 2008.

On the contrary - the evidence would seem to indicate no one here thought it was that big a deal when Bush did it.

Liberals like ST have a firm rule. One set of rules and standards for their fellow liberals and another set of rules and standards for all others

If not for the double standards, ST would have no standards at all

Lets take a trip down memory lane...........




George W. Bush is today making his final visit to Camp David as president.

He will likely miss the place: According to CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller, today's trip marks Mr. Bush's 149th visit to the presidential retreat. The planned three-day stay, during which the president is being joined by family and former and current aides, will bring his total time spent at Camp David to all or part of 487 days.

Yes, that's 487 days. And Camp David is not even where the president has spent the most time when not at the White House: Knoller reports that Mr. Bush has made 77 visits to his ranch in Crawford during his presidency, and spent all or part of 490 days there.
