Mr. President: If India scares you so much, why go at all?

[^_^ 5,021]

Better question, "What would have been his first choice?"

Hanging out in Hawai'i?

I wonder if the Secret Service has any training in jumping up to take an incoming coconut in the chest. I know they are trained to protect the President from a bullet, but this threat may well be beyond their expertise.

[^_^ 5,021]

Hey wait, don't they have coconuts in Hawai'i? The President may very well know how to deal with the falling coconut terror threat without Secret Service assistance.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Pakistan?

That would have been interesting.

[^_^ 5,021]

That would have been interesting.

There aren't as many coconut trees in Pakistan, either. Win-win.

I'd wear one of those old German helmets with the spike on top.

This talk made me wonder about the monkey threats too, and I found this:

Coconuts, monkeys, warships: India's security plan for President Obama's visit

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/international/coconuts_monkeys_warships_india_tYDBo3Gdf280mXjy93bePP

"In New Delhi 80-foot-high towers are being built to keep watch on the president's movements, and the activities of the local monkey population, The Times of India reported.

Trained monkey catchers will be employed to keep the wild monkeys away from Obama.

"As several incidents of monkey-menace have been reported from the area, we are keeping a watch on the simians," a police officer said.

....

That makes me laugh...especially since the monkeys really ARE such menaces!

The President shouldn't even be going to that crazy country. It sounds like something out of the movies. Deranged monkeys, falling deadly coconuts, #######?

I know! He should only go to non-tropical places...preferably Europe only.

Yes, Europe is safe. Unless you're a pretty girl traveling alone and the Albanians see you!

Maybe he can borrow the Pope-Mobile.

Obama is a man. So it's ok. But anyway yeah maybe travel should be even more specific - Only the UK and Canada.
