So Obama’s taking 5 times the number of people, and the USD has dropped by 34% in value, so the cost would be $94 million per day for Obama. Not including the cost of reploying warships, of course...;)
Seems like the $200,000,000 per day is within the realm of possibility!
Malfeasance and misappropriation of government funds and resources are certainly impeachable offenses!
And old people in the US are lined up in commodity lines for excess food in increasing numbers.
Left, Obama's childhood president, el-Haj Mohammed Suharto (aka, Soeharto)
Right, Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro
We NEVER should have elected a president who spent four of his formative school years in a country run by a dictator.
Obama obviously picked up some bad ideas and thinks presidents have the right to run the lives of their citizens.
Before trumpeting this $200 million a day number, probably we should check again.
The source in India for this has no breakdown of the figures, and if you go to their site, they seem to like writing outlandish and embellished stories.

There doesn’t seem to be any way to check and confirm anything about this. An Indian publication started it and everything since then has been copied from their reporting. Drudge added more yesterday but I have no idea where he got his info from - the building of a tunnel by the military to get the motorcade through to the Gandhi Memorial so it won’t be traveling on the city streets????? If the place is so dangerous, wouldn’t anyone with a brain avoid it?
Anderson Cooper went ballistic last night about this and blasted Michelle Bachmann for repeating the $200 million dollar figure. He wanted to know why no one bothered to check it out. THERE IS NO WAY TO CHECK IT OUT! He repeated what another article reported yesterday that the entire war(s) haven’t cost that much. He referred to General Accounting Office figures which most of us wouldn’t have access to. The people who know the truth aren’t talking.
The WH says they never release details of security plans. Who in heck is asking them to? We’re not interested in that!! We simply want to know the truth about the number of people going, the number of airplanes, the number of ships offshore, the cost of booking an entire hotel and extra rooms in surrounding hotels in New Delhi.
As I understand it they are only spending one day in India but it seems they have a lot planned for just one day before they leave for Indonesia and two other countries - South Korea and Japan??
The whole thing stinks - true or not - we still want to know the truth about the costs. It’s our money and when we plan our vacations, we sit down to figure out whether we can afford it or not. THIS vacation we can’t afford!
Does it even matter? 0bama is vulnerable right now, and this story could do some real damage.
YES, it matters. Integrity matters. Making up (or repeating) a BS story, even if zero is vulnerable, even if the story could do some real damage, goes against everything we ought to stand for.
Yep, but its done After the trip not before, for security reasons apparently. As much as I feel like opposing CNBC’s position, the $200 million claim is ludicrous and unsourced. Socialist Obama might be but an Emperor he is not, even he can’t pull this off.
