Readers who believe this crap may also like:




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.



he is a PRESIDENT,,, does corporate america have their face plastered all over the world media as representative of American policy? would the murder of a corporate american cause WAR?


The point is his trip there is rather extravagant. Not saying he shouldn't go there and nowhere in this thread did anyone say that, but he is taking a large group of people with him. I think he still fancies himself the rock star he was a year and a 1/2 ago.



where is the PROOF of how his travel will be any different than the travel of PRESIDENTS in general on such trips?


Well a 2000+ person entourage and booking several hotels is the proof right there.



ok, thats like saying seeing lights in the sky is PROOF of UFO's

do you have a SOURCE that gives the information about where he is staying or how many rooms or their cost(information I would surely expect to be confidential EVEN for those in India) or how that COMPARES to what is STANDARD for a president?
well, all of this information came from india, and why would the indians lie? i posted a couple of articles from the india times, and the libs just ignored those...so why do you keep asking for proof when its right here?



why would the indians lie? are they not journalists too...?...lol

I have also posted the factcheck and politifact reviews of this SINGLE article from INDIA,,, but many ignore that too


what is fact check? they ask the politicians that work for obama? the news people in India are world renown for their honesty and integrity...what is our government known for? TELLING LIES!!!...think about it....



I have thought about it,, Indian journalists may have a reputatino for honesty but that doesnt mean all their journalists are

this was ONE article which keeps being reposted as fact without supporting EVIDENCE

,,,from factcheck.org
'Prior to fiscal 2010, we were supported entirely by three sources: funds from the APPC’s own resources (specifically an endowment created in 1993 by the Annenberg Foundation at the direction of the late Walter Annenberg, and a 1995 grant by the Annenberg Foundation to fund APPC’s Washington, D.C., base); additional funds from the Annenberg Foundation; and grants from the Flora Family Foundation. We do not seek and have never accepted, directly or indirectly, any funds from corporations, unions, partisan organizations or advocacy groups.'



OBama was sworn in in 2009, where is the connection between he and factcheck OR the annenberg foundation?


where do they get their information from? don't they have to ask our government? all i'm saying by this the government officials are going to lie or tell half truths...they (factcheck) don't have a magical crystal ball with all the true answers...they have to get their information from somewhere...

Because the only parts of the article our government has denied is the security and military parts not the entourage.

Did I say the 200 million a day is true? Nope. But it sure isn't cheap. Especially sending an advance team over there to remove all the coconuts. Imagine that poor Secret Service Agent who spent 4-8 years in college then another 6 months to a year at FLETC who got stuck with that job. laugh

SHOULD the first lady be traveling like a pauper instead?

She shouldn't be taking a ton of friends on vacation to South America on the tax payers dime if thats what your asking.

I also believe it is a huge waste of Secret Service manpower to remove coconuts.

There were a few when she went to Brazil or whatever country that was with, when the Secret Service shut down the entire beach and even went swimming with her daughter(somehow I don't think doing that you can provide adequit protection, but since Obama uses them like babysitters it must be ok).

Several media outlets AND an Indian Official approvied the removal of the coconuts so Obama wouldn't knock himself in the head at the memorial. laugh

Personally I would have loved to see that. :banana:

Either way, a waste of Secret Service manpower when there are actual threats they need to check out when at the very least it should be some low level White House person who did that(if they really needed to do it in the first place).
