Smell the smug!
Obama's India visit security erect a bomb proof tunnel at the Gandhi museum | Mail Online
President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle arrived in India's commercial hub of Mumbai on Saturday, days after voters punished his Democrats in mid-term elections.Probably not since the days of the Pharaohs or the more ludicrous Roman Emperors has a head of state traveled in such pomp and expensive grandeur as the President of the United States of America.
While lesser mortals – the Pope, Queen Elizabeth and so on – are usually happy to let their hosts handle most of the security and transport arrangements when they venture beyond their home shores, the United States creates a mini-America on the move to ensure that nothing is left to chance.

And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually..."
At least Michelle looks like she is dressed appropriately for a State visit for a change.

Yeah. I wonder who dressed her?
