Well Emperor Obama had such a large entourage in London for the G-20 meeting that even the British newspapers had to write about it. 500 support personnel including 200 Secret Service, 6 Doctors, and even the WH Chef and kitchen staff. Yep, He brought along his own food and water. Oh and 4 speech writers and 17 teleprompters. What a back to the basics guy he is.

That in itself could be taken as insult by the British. 500 back up to visit a friendly nation with edible foods and outstanding security...hummmm?

Did you read the recent thread on Google and its effect on intelligence? :confused:
I ask that question because the item you're referencing in your post actually was written by an American - Dale Mcfetters - an editorial writer for Scripps News Service and at the time was a regular columnist in the Washington Times. The editorial was published on Tue, 03/31/2009 during BHO's first visit to Europe as POTUS and the security concerns at the height of anti-Iraq and anti-WTO protests in London - it is not about anything to do with the recent visit to Europe for the G8 gathering.

FWIW, Bush the Younger took an entourage of 700 to Australia in 2007. Source is here (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/news/print.cfm?objectid=10461706).

No not Google, but sorry for the oversight, I did read the article sent to me and missed the G20 vs G8 summit. Sorry to waste your time.
For contrast: Interesting comparison chart. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13508572)
