India: Welcome Wagon Not Likely for Bush
February 22, 2006 21 44

Summary

Dysentery will not be U.S. President George W. Bush's only worry when he makes his first trip to India on March 1. Complications in the U.S.-Indian civilian nuclear deal, leftist protests and anti-U.S. rallies stemming from the cartoon drawings of the Prophet Mohammed are just a few of the road bumps Bush is likely to encounter.

Analysis

U.S. President George W. Bush's March 1-3 trip to India is unlikely to go as smoothly as planned. The focus of the trip will be the U.S.-Indian civilian nuclear deal, and the prospects of this deal being signed during Bush's visit are looking increasingly dim.

1. Divleen from India tells me New Delhi is cranking up to greet Bush..

with a much deserved round of boos. Boos, did I say boos?

[leftchick]

3. It is so embarrassing to be an American these days

he has to go under cover of US military protection everywhere he goes.

[Divernan]

10. Recall pics of Clinton wading into adoring unscreened crowds abroad?

Back when our country had an intelligent, well-spoken, charismatic, HUMANE AND RESPECTED president?

[Rageneau]

13. He thinks he'll be safe in India because the U.S.cavalry will be there.

[ClayZ]

2. This will be as interesting as when he went to Germany.

They had to close whole towns down and remove the people.

Never has one man been so unwelcome in so many places in the world.

[Swamp Rat]

15. Is that Michael Jackson on the right?

"Jamona... hee heee!" :D

[malaise]

4. Well since the England cricket team

are also in India with its establishment followers, I can't help but wonder who he's meeting with there. The poodle team will also face some serious boos.

[Justice Is Comin]

5. Why don't the prick

hold a town meeting.

[NMDemDist2]

6. you should put a warning up about those pics, not what I wanted to see

before my first cup of coffee!

[fasttense]

7. But, but, but, all our US corporations are over there giving them

all our US jobs. I can't understand why they would hate us? Free trade is helping their country. This global economy is all for the good of the corporations why would they hate the US for that? :sarcasm:

[FloridaPat]

8. What's India's problem? They got tons of computer jobs from

us and it seems half the computer jobs here in the USA is being worked by an Inidan. No room for American computer programmers anymore.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. If they're living here, they are American.

[FloridaPat]

14. No they're not. They are still citizens of India and have work visas.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

17. I'm talking about the ones that have become citizens.

[tenshi816]

9. It doesn't matter.

He'll never see the protestors anyway. The Shrub has been so well insulated for the last 5 years, I sometimes wonder if he even knows how unpopular he is. Since all he ever sees are hand-picked, glassy-eyed Bushbot audiences and everyone else is relegated to "free speech zones" (boy, that's some real 1984-speak there), he probably still thinks he's king of the world.

[iamahaingttta]

12. Personally, I think we should encourage him to go...

...and then hope for the worst!

[never cry wolf]

16. I hope he doesn't flip off the protesters

It's embarassing enough he does it in his own country.

Brings a new meaning to "Ugly American."

[malaise]

18. Good grief he plans to go to cricket

"I'm a cricket match person. I appreciate it. As I understand it, I may have a little chance to learn something about cricket. It's a great pastime."

He could never understand the game.

19. You go on down there, george.

[Radical Activist]

20. Yet another reason to like India

Maybe somebody will teach him something about Gandhi while he's there.
