Obama is spending $200 million PER DAY on his little jaunt to India

[InterestedVoter]

Obama the communist is a real issue. How about telling us about any trip that Bush spent even close to $200 million a day.

Again, the site will not allow me to post links, but a google search on Bush's travel expenses and his "entourage" will provide much information including personal (vacation) travel expenses and travel expenses paid for by all Americans when he was campaigning to put Republicans in office.

All I am saying is that this is not a new issue with this particular president. It has been going on for decades with all presidents - both Democrat and Republican. And stories like this one are routinely trotted out by the opposition (again... Republicans and Democrats) and held up as some kind of "proof" as to abuse of power.

I get so sick of the crap (from both sides) and the fact that we don't seem willing to actually open our eyes and examine the facts - without the name calling, without the "fear tactics", without the need to make stuff up or blow it completely out of proportion.

Can we get back to discussing real issues now?

Never!

Not while there are some good old fashion strawmen to be enraged about!

While Obama is in India, I hope he will go to that place you get on the telephone when you call the HP Helpline and tell those jackasses to start speaking plain English so you can understand them. That might be worth $200 million for at least one of those days.

You might want to call Carly Fiorina and thank her for moving help centers to India.

Good job.

He is taking 3,000 people and getting 900 rooms.

Their salaries are already paid for. Show me how 900 rooms cost $200 million a night

This whole thread is pure Bull Shit

Who needs to make stuff up with a traitor in the White House. He's already spit all over allies like India, I can't imagine how he's going to screw them this time. The world hates the Muslim-in-Chief. Even his approval rating in Muslim countries is something like 18%.

Obama's approval rating is 18% in Muslim countries??

You should have posted this before Tuesday, it would have swung the election

34 war ships, fighter jets, 40 planes, helicopters, limos, for starters. And not all the people he's taking are on the government payroll. Many are his supporters. I wonder if he's taking George Soros?

Ships, jets, planes and their crews are already paid for.

What are his supporters paid? You are not even close to $600 million
You guys believe anything that is on the internet. Can I introduce you to a Nigerian Prince friend of mine?

That dick head, Barack Hussein Obama, claimed he was going to be a "different" President, he was going to govern with a Hope for Change. Now that he is actually more full of shit and spending more than ever being a pompous ass. He could have sent that jerk Hillary to India in her 757. Instead, he is going with his giant wife and brat kids along with 3,000 others. He is bringing 40 planes, not little business jets like the one he berated CEOs of flying on, big aircraft that burn thousands of gallons of jet fuel per hour. They will easily burn 80,000 gallons of fuel per hour for the 18 hour flight...... each way! That is very close to 30 million gallons of 5 dollar a gallon jet fuel. That's over 14 million in fuel and that's conservative. The 34 ships burn exponentially more than that.

The troops and the equipment being used in Iraq and Afghanistan are payed for, why do ass holes on the left pretend it is costing billions a month? Are you pretending a few missiles, bombs and ammo cost billions a month?

 

[shintao]

Aren't you happy there's so much extra cash in the Treasury that Obama can afford to take 3,000 of his closest friends and relatives to India on your dime?

I am glad to see him getting out and taking all his 3,000 friends. Just another presidential jaunt. We wouldn't want him being a "moonbeam" would we?

LOL! No, contractors cost billions a month. There are more contractors with boots on the ground than US Troops in Afghanistan. Keeping those corporations well fed is a must.

I really do hope he reconsiders this awful monstrosity and scales it back a bit. It really is a terrible excess. With record numbers of people living in Poverty,this trip really is in very poor taste. Please reconsider,Mr. President.

What does a few more people living in poverty have to do with presidential trips? Have we always had people living in poverty while presidents spent like drunken sailors? Of course! When you decide people living in poverty is in poor taste, do let us know.........

lol! Don't think i said people living in Poverty is in poor taste. I said this awful monstrosity is in poor taste. It just isn't appropriate in a time of so much suffering. Poverty numbers are now at their highest in the 50yrs. of Poverty Record-keeping. $200 Million a Day really is absurd. He should reconsider.

When you get a guest list, do let us know. It would give your posts some meager amount of credibility.

How many Homeless and Jobless could be helped out with all that cash? Think about that for awhile. This trip really is a terrible excess.

Oh, so what did the people living in poverty have to do with Obama's trip? Poverty has nothing to do with the article, and poor taste has nothing to do with spending 200 million for a trip. It might be poor taste to the American taxpayer, but even then, these expenses have been going on forever with presidents, nothing unusual. The only thing changing is the costs going up to make the trips, and that has more to do with the economy and value of the dollar than the number of needed people. In the overall scheme of things, it is a drop in the bucket.
