President Obama's visit to Hiroshima

Obama's visit to Hiroshima was impressive. I was watching TV and listening to his remarks. But what really surprised more than his speech was how he came to Hiroshima.

He brought:

2 air planes (Air force 1 and 2);
2 helicopters (Marine 1 and 2);
2 cars (Beast 1 and 2);
4 (ospries)? 
10 or more cars for VIP and secret service,
And a briefcase which probably contained "the nuclear football" (also known as the atomic football, the president's emergency satchel, the button, the black box, or just the football).

During that day in Hiroshima, approximately 4600 police officers kept watchful eyes. And all the traffic lights were blue only for the president. Of course all the highways and roads were shut down for the beast.

In addition, for the summit in Kashikojima, Mie prefecture:

Approximately 40 cars came with the beast,
Secret service together with some snipers,
US set their own media center in a hotel in Toba city,
And in Hiroshima, there were more than 20000 police officers deployed.

I watched local TV programs pursuing all the things going on around the VIP on the day he visited Hiroshima, and they repeatedly used the captions "This is America!!" "This is super power!!" That was very funny. No wonder Japan should be their friend, not their enemy.

It was fun to watch all the things he brought for Hiroshima on TV, but a man, a Hiroshima citizen, commented:

"When Hellen Keller came to Hiroshima, we had a parade. Hellen Keller rode in a open car, waving her hands to all the citizen along the street. So it is kind of sad to see, President Obama had to come with so many guards worrying about terrorist attacks."
