THIS is Deepak Chopra:
Thanks, responded in other thread too.
As to stupidity, it is not too cool to say that, but your point is taken... Very easy to pick on us -- everybody in Bhutan knows who the president of the USA is, but not the reverse... it is partly a national self-absorption but also just based on relative influence around the world. I'm sure you follow cricket, but I wouldn't call you stupid if you didn't know our (american) football teams etc., etc.
From cross-referencing news articles from respectable sources, it appears that only the picture is misleading and Chopra did accompany Obama. Can you confirm?

Confirmed on the OSI's own website and Washington Post / numerous other news outlets.
Update:
It appears that only the picture is misleading / incongruous, which was reflective of his overall trip and not the CEO. Obama did indeed have ties and travelled with the chief of OSI (which has subsidiary Rapiscan).
