If the past two years are any indication, I think the POTUS has a head hard enough to mitigate the damages from a falling coconut. MOO

But ...
Every year in India people are injured or even killed by falling coconuts.
Of all the ways he could be taken out of office, you think he'd want THAT to be the reason?
I’m sure his noggin would have been safe, there upon his servants shoulders, waving at the little people from his armored sedan chair.

Tunnel for Obama near Mani Bhavan
Published: Thursday, Nov 4, 2010, 1:59 IST
By Pandurang Mhaske | Place: Mumbai | Agency: DNA
It could give a sense of superior American organisation, or be an indicator of a deep-set persecution complex. It could also be a manifestation of Uncle Sam’s penchant for a show of strength.
The matter pertains to US president Barack Obama’s planned visit to Mani Bhavan —the Gandhi museum — on November 6, soon after he reaches Mumbai. On Monday, US secret agents visited the museum to plan Obama’s security detail.
They were accompanied by officers of Mumbai Police and civic officials of the D ward (where Mani Bhavan is located). While inspecting the route and the buildings lining up the route to the museum, the Americans detected a skyscraper near Peddar road and also found the area to be highly populated.
Since it is difficult to monitor such a congested area, they came up with a quick solution which left the Indians accompanying them amazed:
A bomb-proof over-ground tunnel — to be installed by US military engineers in just an hour. The tunnel would be a kilometre long and measure 12ft by 12ft — enough to let Obama’s cavalcade pass through. The tunnel would be centrally air-conditioned, fitted with close-circuit television cameras, and will be heavily guarded at every point, including, of course, its entry and exit.
Details about when exactly the tunnel would be made were not forthcoming. But officials said that the structure would be dismantled immediately after Obama leaves the area.
This is your tax money at work...

For the Coconuts:
That your tax money at work...
:mad::mad::mad:
Nothing like being humbled with the elections, promising to do better, then immediately spending money hand over fist. (Where's my nuclear smiley?) :mad:
Anyone have an estimate on what this will cost, or if it can be converted into a wall for our southern border? Recycling bomb-proof shelters is green, isn't it?
And it only gets better,,
:D
JJ,
THE FACEPAW!

The size of the lion is directly proportional to the size of the FAIL.

Hmmm...
Seem to remember the president claiming power over nature.
Something about lowering the sea level.
Stopping falling coconuts should be easy.
Didn't work for King Canute either.

Apparantly US Engineers are going to build a 1 kilometer bomb proof tunnel so that he can visit a museum.

They are trying to do some major backpedaling and CYA on the cost and logistics of the operation.

Every time I read about this topic I have this going through my head...
Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the mo-o-ornin'
Yes, you call me in the morning
If you call me in the morning I'll tell you what to do

Stung by Midterm elections, Hope and Change to be replaced with " Hide and Sikh"?
Does Obama realize,
1. India's Prime Minister is a Sikh, so canceling a visit to their sacred temple for fear of being confused for Muslim isn't stellar diplomacy. ( And manages to irk all parties involved, Sikhs, Muslims, and "Ignorant Americans" back home who can't tell the difference.) The man truly has a gift for this.
2. If you are scared of falling coconuts, you know turbans have good padding...
