Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

In the worst economic situation since the Great Depression our president is taking an entourage of 3,000 people, 40 Air Force and Navy planes, and more. The cost is $200 million per day! It will cost us tax payers a total more than $1 billion before its over.

This guy has no political horse sense...

From what Ive heard this "news" came from an Indian source and is not confirmed

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

maybe he will stop by Pakistan...

wonder what passport/nationality/citizenship he will be this time......

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

to what purpose is this waste?

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Provide a link for that number.

The only info I have found on it are two Indian pages, which look like they are copy and pasted from each other, and another that have copy and pasted about half of the same article.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

I swear you are one of the most backhanded posters on this forum when it comes to politics. If you aren't complaining that African-Americans get special treatment, you are "suggesting" the President Obama is not even American, or you are stereotyping entire religions based on their radicals.

I love reading your posts when it comes to religion, but when it comes to politics, you seem to throw all reason and honesty out the window.

I wish that everyone's great search for Biblical truth would extend over to their daily lives.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Reason and honesty in politics? Buhahahahahahaha!!! Hang on, let me catch my breath. Buhahahahahahahahahahaha!!! :ursofunny

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Hey, is it too much to hope for? Maybe it is too much to ask for from the politicians themselves, but we can at least be honest here, can't we?

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Yeah sure. Meanwhile, Ben and his merry band of wacknuts at the Federal Reserve will proceed with their own type of sweeping Ponzi monetization, irregardless of who got elected.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Again, there does not seem to be a lot of facts behind any of these articles. The link you posted quoted Indian articles again. The one non-Indian source your link does quote, The Daily Mail, says this:

"But the extent of the trip to India - which could run up a bill of hundreds of thousands of pounds - is unlikely to win over hard-up swing voters in the US."

lol, so they quote a source that flat-out contradicts what they are saying.

Again, i do not see why people don't think they need to fact check before they post on the political tab.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Twisp - - - do you not think he's taking this trip? It's for real. We just won't see very much about it here - - do you think the press wants to put this all on national news for all to digest?

In Google - Put in Obama India trip and you'll find some articles.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Obviously he is taking the trip. I do not think that is under question, lol.

The question is whether it is costing $200 million to take the trip.

So far, there is no factual evidence suggesting that.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

The question isn't whether he is taking the trip, lol, it is the cost of it.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

They load the helicopters and motorcade into Air Force cargo planes. Air Force one is accompanied by refueling aircraft and will make the trip non stop.

The plane also is escorted by fighter jets.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

And, I agree there probably won't be a big to-do announcement of what he's spending - - if you were President in these times would you really want everyone to know how much you were wasting of their money?

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Yes, I watch TV too.

Saw a special of what all is involved when Air Force One takes flight - - it was very, very interesting!

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Yeah, but at least you can try and research this before you post it. If you would have even read the sources linked from your article, you would have seen the one that contradicted your article.

Post that he is going on a trip, don't post something that isn't true.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

No proof has been given that $200 million is being spent on this trip.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Give us your numbers and links. Some supporting documents.

As a left winger, you are unable to present facts to argue with facts. Your arguments are limited to emotional arguments.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Really, just think this out logically. They are going to be there for what, 2 days?

Does anyone here really think that they are going to spend close to half a billion dollars on 2 days in India?

Come on, I know you guys hate him, but at least think logically.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

I can definitely say that there is no proof that this trip is going to cost $200 million a day.

The burden of proof is on the accuser, which would be you and your ilk.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Prove your numbers. I see you will be whining for 2 years.
Accountants have a right to expect you to offer actual numbers and estimates.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

10 days

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

That is easy. The White House has not released the cost yet. No legitimate news organization has claimed that this will cost $200 million a day. The lack of any evidence helps to proves that this figure is false.

Your turn. Prove that this is going to cost $200 million a day.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

So if it is 10 days, then you really think the cost is going to be $2 billion for the entire visit?

LOL, you have got to be on some major Obama hate to even try to say that with a straight face.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Nope - - just discussing.

The only points I'd make is - - this will never make mainstream media because they don't want to advertise how much it costs. Why would they want to let the taxpayers know how much is being spent during this economic time?

And....with the internet and smart people - - the costs can be figured out by gathering info that IS readily available.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Of course they have folks on the ground sniffing for bombs and security checks for weeks now.

Give us the dates of departure and the dates of return.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

You can say that now, but you did not qualify that when you linked to an article stating that this would cost $200 million per day. Since you offered up the article, along with some hilarious pictures from said article, it is reasonable to assume you believe this article now, or did when you posted it.

Which leads me to question how deep and illogical your hatred is for this man that would lead you to believe he would spend $2 billion to go to India.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

"Regardless" the proper word is "regardless". "Irregardless" is a double negative. Its not a word. But I agree with the spirit of your post.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

I assure you that I do not hate him. I've stayed off these polical threads since the election because I'm pretty fed up with the US government as a whole.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

That article, which has already been posted I believe, provides no source links to back up the $200 million claim.

I'll ask you as I asked rgcraig, you honestly think the trip is going to cost over $1 billion? Seriously? You can say that with a straight face? lol

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

I can agree with you to an extent, but you have to agree that this is a fairly outlandish idea.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

I agree it's outlandish - - why would they need 3000 people. However, it wouldn't surprise me one bit that it'll cost $200M a day. And, it doesn't surprise me at all that the numbers are being announced from the White House - - they'd be stupid to do that in light of our economy. It would be a death sentence for Obama, so I'm most certain it won't ever be in a PR from the White House.

It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out if you knew all the facts. The costs of flying Air Force One and it's entourage is available.

I think the Prez is probably questioning the timing of this trip now.

Re: Obama Trip to India: $200 Million a Day
 

Considering that this trip has been postponed twice already, I guess he thought he had to do it eventually.

I still find it insanely crazy that you think this trip will cost $2 billion. I have heard some crazy things on here, but this ranks up there with it.
