Obama Books The Entire Taj Mahal Hotel

The Obamas are not done spending our money as they travel the world.  I understand that the President needs to make foreign policy stops, particularly with allies like India, but is it necessary that his entourage book the entire Taj Mahal Hotel?  That equates to 570 rooms!  But that’s not all folks.  The President needs even more room than that so three other hotels have had several dozen rooms booked as well.

The Economic Times reports:

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.”

My question is why are we making this trip? If it is this dangerous, then why bother? And how exactly are we funding this little trip?  A trip that purportedly will see the First Lady meeting with commercial sex workers. This is getting ridiculous!
