This trip is estimated at $2 million a day-—& that is less that the costs of Afghanistan & HOW many thousands of soldiers?

The cost of $2 million per day DOES NOT count the cost of the 34 Navy ships-including an aircraft carrier- into the Indian Ocean off Mumbai.

Anyone know where those ships were before they were moved to Mumbai?

“Sorry, I’m still not convinced. About the $2B.”

The $200 mil /day figure is totally unfounded. But that won’t stop a lot of people from believing it.”

40 airplanes. 6 limosines. 700 FBI agents. 300 CEO’s (unidentified) of companies. 3000 prox total in entourage. Personal Chef for Nobama. Food & water for NObama & selected members of entourage. (Expecting to be poisoned?) ALL the rooms of the Taj Mahal Hotel booked. More rooms booked nearby. Restaurants booked for this entourage only.

YOU tell us how much money you think that all adds up to. I defer to your expertise, but I must warn you-I am a life long bookkeeper.

So when will the WH release a true estimate of the costs?”””

IF the information comes from Fibbs- I won’t believe it , anyway.

2 mil a day is probably just for the obama family. The entire military secret service are probably more.

Their faces look like they are going into exile. If that Kenyan Chic that Mooochele is wearing?

I wonder why she wears all those wigs when she is out in public? Then goes ‘natural’ for this photo?

Nixon looked better than that when he resigned!

This is a strange photo.

Interesting that moochelle is sticking out her tongue, her head held high, eyes straight ahead. She's in control. Moochelle appears to have all the power. She's victorious.

Meanwhile zero looks beaten, stooped, looking down with a frozen half hearted strained smile. He looks ill.

They both look as if they got away with the biggest heist.

The 2 Billion number has come from the India Press. The WH denies it but refuses to name a number itself.

That’s not nappy.

She’d look infinitely better if she just had a really short afro.

You know the usual suspects are traveling on this junket — Mother Robinson must go to babysit the girls, the extended friends and ‘relatives,’ hey, don’t forget Aunt Zeituni!

Wonder if Bo is going; he probably got lucky and gets to stay home with the staff this time — lucky dog!

Very good point but who’s going to hang that bell on the cat? The WH press corps?

The coverage by the Indian press should be interesting
to read.

RE: “Personal Chef for Nobama. Food & water for NObama & selected members of entourage. (Expecting to be poisoned?)”

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

When I visited the Far East years ago and expressed interest in a future trip to India, the guide mentioned that India is a very rough trip no matter how ‘high end.’ She said: “Everyone gets sick in India!” Thus I can see why Zero would want his own chef along -—

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama departed Friday morning for Southeast Asia,...

Kinda reminds me not at all of when I departed for
Southeast Asia...

Note, I looked better and was primed to probe for
land mines to get off the plane.

My exgirl friends parents went to Mumbai years ago,
the only thing that bothered them were the dead people
in the streets. Don’t suppose the Obamas will see
many of those.

It makes me feel embarassed to hang around here.

I can assure you of one thing. If I felt embarrassed to hang around here, I would leave.
