Mumbai's workforce discovers what Americans already know: Obama costs you a lot of money, dude!
Obama's just a fancy pants gigolo with a big wide smile, empty words and a hand always in your pockets...he's just another grifter who put one over on the American people.
His visit may appear to be popular among Indian people, but much of Mumbai's workforce can't wait for Barack Obama to leave.Diwali disco fever: Reluctant President Obama joins in with school children's dance floor celebrations
Taxi drivers, street vendors and fishermen have complained they can barely afford to eat after the city was turned into a fortress for the state visit.
All major roads have been blocked in India's financial capital - leaving taxi drivers without work for five days.
Sandeep Jaiswal, 22, said he had earned just £2 in five days - compared with £21 on a normal day.
'We have been left out of business. Because of him we are sitting idle for days now.

MUMBAI: The real truth about what happened!
Many put the blame for the attack on years of Indian-Pakistani hostility and tension. In fact, relations between the two countries have never been warmer...Read more
This is precisely what the terrorists don’t want, of course. It’s the fact that tensions over Kashmir are diminishing that prompted them to attack on the November 28 — just as al-Qaeda blew up Samarra’s Golden Mosque in Iraq back in 2006 in order to keep Shias and Sunnis hating and killing each other. The illusion that formal agreements between peoples and governments — whether between India and Pakistan or Israel and the Palestinian Authority — can somehow defuse the terrorist problem was the among the first casualties in Mumbai. Terrorists see it the other way around: the relaxation of tensions is a problem requiring bloodshed.
Islamic terrorists don’t want justice or respect for their beliefs, or restoration of some imaginary homeland. They want violence and death. The duty of every government is to make sure that terrorists get them before they can deal them out. Pakistanis will never know peace, or peace with their neighbors in Afghanistan and India, until they finally and ruthlessly root out the terrorists in their midst.
The same goes for India. That was the second illusion that died in Mumbai: that democratic nations can somehow opt out of the war on terror.
