Yes, it's "retinue" if you are speaking about his minions, but "rentinue" suggests they are with him only for the short haul.  I like the connotation.

stay safe.

I'll claim that!

I don't mind stumbling into a pun.  At least I don't have to scrape it off my shoes, afterwards.

No, I would say they're Obama's low-rentinue.

Did y'all see the pic of the guy falling to his knees when Obama's motorcade left... somewhere up North? It was all over Yahoo! for awhile.

Heard on the radio this morning that this trip will cost $2 billion.  :O

WTH? Why is this trip so important that it's worth $2 billion of taxpayer funds?

Did Bush do anything on this scale? I know he did some overseas traveling, but I don't recall him bringing the Navy and half the White House staff along.

Is Obama planning on invading Pakistan while he's over there?

We can only hope. Reminds me of When Qaddafi visited Jo-berg a few years ago for some African Union thing. His minions saw fit to bring some RPGs and anti-aircraft missiles along in the Limo.

They probably need the 34 ships to carry the above ground bomb proof tunnel he'll be driving in...

Are there any limits on the books as to what can be spent on this kinda stuff?? Or does he just have free reign to evacuate that side of India.. so he can visit  :facepalm: This stuff is hard to believe.

I hope there's an attack.  And that it is a big one.  I don't want Obama or his cabinet hurt by it, but I do want it to be a serious enough attack that he is forced to truly declare who is ENEMIES are.  And respond, with the 34 warships, dozens of fighter/bombers, and thousands of seamen, soldiers and marines that will be at his disposal.  And it justifies the $200m daily cost of this trip.

All they can do is ask the host country to "accommodate" their wishes.  But then apparently our foreign aid payments to India seem to carry an awful lot of influence, no?

Oh, for the days when folks had the gumption to stand up to someone and tell them "No".  The last time I recall that happening was when Durgin Park restaurant told the Secret Service that they would not close the place so that John F. Kennedy, recently elected as President, could dine there.  I recall the event because I was taken there for lunch a day or two afterwards to experience a place where folks were not afraid to stand up for their ideals.  Mostly I remember several bankers sitting opposite us, while two butchers in bloody aprons sitting to my right complimented my deboning of a double pork chop.  

Sadly, it appears that these days they even take reservations on-line. http://www.arkrestaurants.com/durgin_park.html  And I'll bet now they even make the butchers from Fanuiel Hall Market take off their aprons before coming in. =(

stay safe.
