Hiroad....I believe that this is known as the rat jumping off of the sinking ship. 

Will he take Mrs. Rat?

Yes, the First "I hate the US" lady is going along.

There has been some humorous speculation that he is actually going into exile, now, and will not return.

I wonder what the rules/laws say about that????  Probably nothing.   Could a President govern from overseas if he decides he would rather not live in the U.S.?  I guess DeGaulle tried it re: France during WW2 without much luck, but not by choice.     This could be a first!!  Any opinions or background on that possibility?

So if that happened would Jon Stewart and Ryan Seacrest have to travel to India to do interviews? Would the first lady plant a garden there? Would the first lady's mom and kids go too? Could we send any dem leftovers that we would prefer to have living elsewhere? I'm getting pretty excited about this deal - all except for the money and that, my friend, sucks.

Here's an explanation for some of the cost of the emperor's trip to India:
