India’s prime minister on Monday when security attempted to restrict the number of U.S. reporters allowed into the event.



The meeting between Obama and Prime Minister Manmoham Singh proceeded as planned after Indian officials relented.

It was arranged beforehand that eight reporters from the White House press pool would be admitted to the meeting at Hyderabad House in New Delhi, but Indian officials tried to cut the number from eight to five just before the photo-op.

Several U.S. officials pushed to have all eight pool members let in, but it wasn’t until Gibbs said that he was serious about pulling Obama from the event that the whole group was admitted.

“That whole group is going in because they’re going in with me,” Gibbs insisted.

Fox, what else to say?

"Then Gibbs quickly landed a couple of jabs at the first Indians standing close to him, and then he quietly opened his jacket, revealing a shoulder holster. Very soon, the Indian delegation relented. Gibbs quietly buttoned his jacket up, and could be heard mumbling to himself while walking down the hall."
