[KMAN]

Is this a good use of our money in this economy?

US to spend $200 mn a day on Obama's Mumbai visit

 

[Granny]

I wouldn't doubt it. There was a news report a couple weeks ago that the entire hotel was being "commandeered" during Obama's stay - a security thing.

Lots of Homeless and Jobless could be fed and housed with all that cash no? What a shame.

Great point... I'm surprised jillian, Dante, Ravi, rightwinger aren't having a fit with this when the money could be going to a better cause.

Oh that's right it's Obama doing this... not a Republican... I get it now.

I forget that they are hypocrites.

With Poverty numbers at their highest in the 50yrs of Poverty Record-Keeping,this trip really is excessive and in poor taste. I would say the same thing if a Republican was in there right now. $200 Million a Day? Yikes!

Says the asshat who could care less about the $1 BILLION/day it costs us to occupy Iraq. Hypocrite much?

 

[uptownlivin90]

200 million to prop up our joke of a foreign policy. Pffffftttt...

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Let them drink Ripple!

 

[uscitizen]

200 million a day? Money is just not worth what it once was.
Heck we could kill lots of Iraqi for that kind of money.
What the heck are they spending that money on? Or is it not really the trip costs?

 

[theDoctorisIn]

Why does this matter now, when it never did before?

Do you seriously think this is more than it's cost any previous President to travel?

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Anyone condoning this excess during this terrible time for most Americans,really should seek help immediately. If a Republican was in there right now i would be saying the same thing. $200 Million a Day really is excessive. End of story.

So, you are all for defense spending, just not defending our President and his wife overseas. Got it.

 

[westwall]

No one should be condoning this awful excess. I mean no one. Period.

Where's the "excess"?

What is the money being spent on, that you don't agree with?

Well, show everyone here that you are not a hypocrite and say this trip is not justified...
