Americans were vociferous about the Fuhrer’s wife trip to Spain.....followed by yet another vacation, where they gorged on lobster.

For the Obamas, there is always another upcomimg extravagant playtime. I'm sure they have a luxury outing to Hawaii planned over Christmas.

You didn’t expect Barry, Moochelle and Reggie Love to camp out at a Motel 6 did you? If I had my way, this is where they’d be staying: http://www.cnngo.com/mumbai/sleep/braving-budget-hotel-319358

Nope, 800 rooms. I'm sure there are a lot more than 800 people involved. No doubt the support staff are sharing rooms.

I think Obama knows his days of Taxpayer “Wine & Roses” are numbered. He’s going to live it up while he can.

The conservative typhoon Nov 2 will with make the Rains of Ranchipoor look like a summer sprinkle. Obama won’t stay much in the White House. He’ll gad-about for 2 years bowing and handshaking.

If I remember correctly, we paid for 1200 sightseers to accompany Clinton to Africa on one of his vacations...

This guy makes me nostalgic for Presidents Carter and Nixon, much less Bush or Reagan...

don’t worry, he’s set for life, like Clintoon and Algore. He’ll make gazillions on speech and book tours, and probably get some deal lobbying for firms throughout the US and China.

I bet his net worth increased about 10,000 fold through lucky stock bets right after he’s thrown out.

If you think things are bad now, wait till his last year in office. I can see thousands of presidential pardons, and tons of executive orders being issued.

He will cause more damage once he’s a lame duck then he did in his entire tenure as POTUS.

I can just imagine what some of the areas will look like after the mother-in-law and cousins leave.

Probably pay backs for favors he and the mrs got during the election....I don't even know 800 people to vacation with..

There is probably large security for the 2 of them and their children if they are taking them, but geeze 800 people is a small convention...but maybe he figures he needs their votes in the 2012 election..

The arrogant, entitled Obamas decide to show their unmitigated attempt for American opinion.....by booking this expansive trip on the taxpayers’ dime.

What is it he's supposed to be doing over there in the first place? Improve relations between the U.S. and India? It's definitely not something urgent that calls for spending bundles of our tax money.

Why can't he just send Hillary? Her entourage isn't nearly as large and wouldn't require such a great amount of security.

Oh well. Let him do it. It will further imprint the truth about him in peoples' minds.

******************

Yes, some will double up — all the worse if you ask me — MORE people! Hey, you suppose Aunt Zeituni will be among the travelers? Doesn’t she deserve a vacation, too? /s

His Royal Highness won't say. Good way for him and all the SEIU and ACORN to see the world in luxury on the taxpayers' dime.
