I almost wish you had not brought India up.

We had a huge issue there; the amount of money he is spending(thought to be 200 million per day but never documented) and why he is even going there. And.... we have blown it so far.

Friday night on FNC on Bretts Special Report newscast,all four member of the panel including Krauthammer and Brett Baer blasted us beyond belief for going with the 200 million dollar per day figure. We should have done our due diligence and found out what the real number is but we didn't.

We had a winning issue and blew it.

It's an error we can afford because we are no where near 2012, but if we want to win even more seats in the House and the 13 we need in the Senate in two years we can ill afford too many more mistakes like that when it should have been a plus for our side.

Wonder why all the ‘jon stewart’ mouthpieces are sure enough blasting the so called media reported 200 million dollar a day figure BUT NOT one of them have yet reported with specificity exactly how much is being spent per day???

Now this is akin and almost playbook to the hidden records of BamBamKennedy's life.... anybody asking for them questioning their existence gets labeled a ‘kook’....

Why won't these ‘jon stewarts’ tell US how much is being spent???

(thought to be 200 million per day but never documented)

It wasn't 'documented' because the GOV refused to release the actual figures.

Some diligents will eventually file FOI requests and may eventually get the real numbers, but it will be long after the event is only a distant memory.

The Imperial Entourage to India is certainly a valid issue.
And the money wasted as Americans suffer is a valid issue.

Krauthammer attacks the GOP for a financial number about
which he really knows nothing, and then he defends Obama,
and you support him in this? Get some coffee, FRiend.

Bill O'Bloviator also defended Obama and his Imperial visit to India (see my tag line).

He strongly blasted the 200 million per day as a false, inflated figure and as "right wing" attack propaganda....but he never gave any figures of his own.

It appears that O'Reilly, Krauthammer and others of the media establishment elite are all on the same wave-length concerning the Royal Procession and Retinue this past week.....excusing it as an "important trip for the economy", and the "massive security" was necessary......not even mentioning for a moment that the taxpayers are being ignored and damned concerning the bill.

Do these snoots ever frame an opinion from the viewpoint of the average schlump in Peoria?

I hope Rush starts playing sound bites of the so-called faux "right-leaning" media commentators all parroting each other on cue just like he's always done with liberal anchors, media regulars and pundits.

So is the winning way to do this to declare that we can’t reveal the real cost for security reasons?

Which is how the White House handled it.

I know that 200 million was bandied about based on an Indian media report. I hardly think that’s any big error of any import, as I beg to differ RG.

I’ll just sit and wait for the American media to dig and report the real number as I stand chastised.

Do you think the India trip might be costing far less, say only 199 million per day?
