I ask myself, now why would the president pick now to go to India? Perhaps its the weather? 93.2 degrees fahrenheit 34 degrees celsius, average rainfall 3 inches in Delhi?
No, there are a lot of places with 93 degree temperatures this time of year.
How bout a chance to meet the people of India. At 333 people per square kilometer versus the United States at 31 per square kilometer he could shake 10 times the number of hands within the same geographic space.
No, he could go to Macau China and shake 18,534 hands in the same square kilometer.
Perhaps it is to solve the current Social Security System problem. In India the average life expectancy is 63 years. If that were the case in America, the Social Security Administration would actually have a surplus by now.
Maybe it is to learn how the people of India manage to live on $458 dollars per capita (per population member). Think of the additional tax monies that could be funneled to Washington when the average American barely manages to survive on $41751 per capita.
India also sports Call Centers, Software Development and Pharmaceutical Research. At an average of $458 dollars per person per capita, we could hire the expertise of 100 Indian workers to every one American worker and leverage our work output to 50 to 100times our current GDP. All of this can be done remotely from the United States using one American worker for every 100 Indian workers. This effectively keeps every American worker employed, employs 100 Indian workers, and drives our GDP to 50 times its current level.
In India we may learn how to eat green. They are the no. 1 producers of tea, banannas, chickpeas, lentils, mangoes, beans, cauliflower, green peas, and millet. They are the number 2 producer of rice, wheat, sugar cane, and wood. Finally they are the number 3 producer of cereals, cotton, potatoes and oranges. All this time I thought they drank tea, wove sisel rope, and rode Indian elephants through the streets. I thought they burnt down all the firewood.
They are the number one producers of oxen, but do they eat them? No. according to one article it takes 10 pounds of grain to produce one pound of meat. The Indians would starve. They consider the cow sacred. Perhaps this is Obamas way of making America become vegetarian.
What about mineral resources you say? Well India does have coal, iron, bauxite, uranium, brown coal, zinc, and lead. Perhaps they could build all the coal plants, steel producing plants and nuclear power plants and we could sell them carbon credits to offset their obscene pollution of the planet. No, that does not sound like a green plan to me. Moving the carbon footprint from one side of the planet to another doesn't make sense either.
What could it be? What could it be? Oh, I've got it. A chance to see the "taj mahal", or Ghandi's footsteps forever memorialized in stone, or the "Humayun Tomb". No, it has to be bigger than that. How bout the Jama Masjid mosque. It is the largest mosque in India and has the capacity to hold 25000 people or more in the courtyard. Perhaps it is a chance to show how the mosque could be incorporated into the setting in New York around the site of 9/11.
Seriously, why do we need our President Obama to make a trip to India at this time and spend the millions of dollars in resources to protect him in an area where he feels vulnerable. Did he get the message of jobs, small government, lower taxes, reduced healthcare costs, and energy independence. Show me the commonsense.
