Obama's India Trip Terrorized By Monkeys (VIDEO)

Though President Obama's trip has yet to face any major setbacks, New Delhi forces aren't taking any chances in battling one of the city's most unusual threats -- packs of stray monkeys, which have been known to bite children and terrorize government offices.

As MSNBC reports, authorities have been on high "primate alert" since the president touched down in India on Saturday. Tens of thousands of monkeys have reportedly adapted too well to urban life, and have been known to swarm around government buildings and residential areas, particularly in the forest-border area close to the hotel where the Obamas are staying during their visit.

And the animals certainly seem to be a viable threat. In 2007, New Delhi Deputy Mayor S.S. Bajwa, 52, reportedly died after suffering serious head injuries while trying to fight off monkeys which attacked him on the terrace of his home.

Though many monkeys have already been captured, they don't face any more serious threats, as the animal is highly revered by the Hindu religion.

Thanks to the Huffington Post for Posting that picture of my Pakistani compatriots resting while considering their next spectacular act in Hindoostan. After all Delhi really belongs to us, since we are the descendants of the great Mughal Emperors who burned the Somnath temple 6 times, and built the Taj Mahal over the Tejo Mahalaya hindoo temple's ruins, and the Babri Masjid over the Palace of Ram's father. We are the only cricket team in the world that loses every match because we WANT to lose, and make tons of money while the stupid opponents party thinking they have won. Pakistan! Pakistan!

"Tens of thousands of monkeys have reportedly adapted too well to urban life, and have been known to swarm around government buildings..."

So the Obamas should be used to this by now... we seem to have the same problem in D.C.

Nothing worse than terror-filled, politics-hating monkeys.

Sure glad we don't have them over here.

They would do the monkeys and themselves a big favor by helping to get their little monkey-butts back to the jungle over several generations. Lived in Panama a couple of years, and the monkeys in the forest seemed quite content. Semi-tame, or pet monkeys were not happy at all and their human neighbors or "owners" were not very happy with them either.

Those terrorist primates weren't monkeys, they were newly elected Tea Partiers fulfilling their mandate.

Now, now. The Democrats will probably somehow get SEIU and a faction of ACORN to sign those monkeys up to vote in the next election. They should fit right in with all the other monkeys in the Democratic party.

Please people, stop the hate. These are radical extremist monkeys and in no way reflect the views and behavior of peaceful monkeys the world over.

I'm sure he is happy to be surrounded by monkeys as opposed to the usual idiots clamoring for his attention.
