[PJ Media] President Obama, speaking to an audience of mostly young people celebrating Indiaâs Republic Day in New Delhi on Tuesday, told the crowd, âI realise that the sight of an American president as your chief guest on Republic Day would have once seemed unimaginable. But like many of you, I find all things Colonial British quite disgusting.
But my visit reflects the possibilities of a new moment.â He pointed out that he was the first American president to participate in the countryâs Republic Day and boasted, âAnd Iâm the first American president to come to your country twice!â
The president went on to refer to himself an astonishing 118 times in the short 33-minute speech, touching on injustices in the United States and in his own personal life. "Astonishing" to some possibly.
[Times of Indja] NEW DELHI: In an ungainly sight, cameras caught US President Brack Obama chewing gum during the Republic Day parade on Monday. In the picture captured by cameras and posted on Twitter by some users, Obama was spotted removing his chewing gum while PM Modi was seen trying to explain something to the US president. Here Modi, make yourself useful. Hold this.

"You probably never thought that Republic Day could get even better. But then you never forsaw that you would be able to have me present to make this day better. I envy your good fortune"

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.

over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
