Obama is probably missing his Muslim friends overseas.After that beating he took by the American voters he needs a hug from some radicals.Lord knows his America sucks,anti military,American people are stupid cronies including Pelosi won't be around to support him anymore and he will have to fly overseas just to find supporters.


Can we do it?We just did!


Uh, India is more Budda and Hindu...pffft. The rest is just more absurd myopeon speak.





I'm sure Obama can find a few of his buddy radicals out of that 138 million.

Islam is second-most practiced religion in the Republic of India after Hinduism, with more than 13.4% of the country's population (over 138 million as per 2001 census).

I checked to see how expensive a room is at the Taj Mahal.Rates start at $850.00 American and go to $2047.00 for one night.

Seems like Obama is giving India a stimulus.

Something else to consider about that article.They maybe quoting India dollars not American.American dollars would peg the cost at around 100,000,000.


i think that means american dollars...

Don't they have a military base in India somewhere?I think if security was a issue he could stay there for free.

I don't belive 200 million is accurate.It is probably more like 8 million a day.Still way too expensive.

So he's not going to india?


He's going to India with an Unusually large entougage and booking out the entire hotel(which I have never seen before).

I do love how he blasts corporate america for the lavish traveling and spending but he turns around and travels like a king.

Was I in charge of security I also would book the entire hotel. Easier to sweep and secure that way.

Maybe he's traveling like a US president?


Not with as big of a group as he is taking to India he's not.

Soooo, US presidents should not travel to do...uh...diplomacy?

It was that dipwad Congressperson Michelle Bachmann who aired the lie that this trip costs $200 million a day...egads, the internet was a cesspool before but now it's more tainting to reality with it leaking into our elected officials speak...does this not trouble anyone...yet?

She's also the one demanding an investigation into congress for "un-American activities".





Actually no it wasn't. It was various news agencies in India that reported that for an undisclosed government source in India. Even the OP shows that.

Sure enough - I guess Backmann vetted the story with POX so they must have confirmed with.....each other.

"The president will be accompanied by 40 aircraft, 3,000 people, a fleet of cars and 34 warships, according to a string of blow-by-blow news updates. The Press Trust of India quoted an official in the state of Maharashtra pegging the cost at $200 million a day."

So how is fox news wrong by reporting what the media in India reported?


Oh come on, POX knew that was BS...they lie all the time plus "an un-named top official" in India said something? Only POX is publishing this BS...then their parrots on this site follow suit.






Not when they were polled as the most trusted name in news several years in a row, by a liberal polling company of all companies. So your little argument hold no water. laugh

Plus the administatioin is denying the cost as reported, but they wont give a number of what the price tag is.

On would think those in India who Obama is sharing our wealth with would know how much of our money is stimulating their country.


well, smartguy... who are they paying to stay in INDIA? ...


It has also been confirmed that they have the whole hotel reserved and paid for(for security reasons). I wonder who gets to foot the bill for that one? I am sure the Taj isn't cheap either.

That's not including the other hotels and rooms they have booked in addition to the Taj.

I don't think we have a base there and I don't know where the closest base to India would be.

When President Bush was here in Reno they only booked the floor he was staying in.

I'm going to guess that it's most security related because of the attack that happened with the hotel awhile back. It would make sense to me to fill the hotel with people you know rather than random people who would be a security risk.

His extra large entourage isn't security related, it is businessmen.

According to snopes this is hogwash. They didn't give a number for the supposed actual cost and also I find it funny that this was posted so quickly, their first source was posted yesterday. I'm waiting for truth or fiction to post something and see what they have to say.


Well stateside it costs approximately between $150,000 and $200,000 per stop when the President travels without complications.

So I could see the meter spinning really fast when he goes to India.


Could be.


I highly doubt 34 ships though. That would be insane for a Presidential visit. I could see a small carrier group off the coast for protection and an emergency evacuation.


You don't understand the government. Anyone know about the presidential helicopter. Its not 1 its a fleet of about 20.

WOW!!!

That's like comparing 'apples' with 'water skiing' !!!

What's the relation???

I'm certain President Obama would do the same (one floor) or less, if we were talking about visiting Nevada, not India.

Rigour, pertinence and nuance, while it would appear have been totally evacuated from any and all US debating forums, are still essential components of coherent discourse.

Actually when Obama came to Las Vegas he took three floors at the hotel, not just one.
