It would be interesting if we could see the hand inside the BHO puppet.

Who is BHO? Where did he come from? Where was he born? What citizenship and passport did he use when he visited Pakistan? Who paid for his education? How did he so mysteriously arrive on the scene, speak at the Democratic convention 6 years ago, and rise so meteorically to the most powerful person in the world? Who programs him and puts their words into his mouth?

Good questions that will probably never be answered.

Re: Huckabee DEFENDS Obama's Trip To India!

it was a good thing for Obama to go. It did not cost 200M per day.

I am glad he went. India is the largest Democracy around and we need to do bizness with them.

Advisers put words in his mouth, just like every other President. Maybe even his wife helps him.

Also, hasn't that 200 billion number already been debunked as most improbable?


Combat operations in Afghanistan for an entire year cost $190 billion!
I ask again, WHO suggested he should snub the Indians?

A general critique that some conservatives had was that the trip was too expensive-- given the economic woes of our country.

Huckabee, Rush, Beck and others jumped on that bandwagon, citing that it would cost America $200 Billion, thus implying that it is an unnecessary squandering of tax-payer dollars.

That number was GROSSLY overpriced-- given that combat ops in Afganistan for last year topped at $190 Billion!


Huckabee back-peddled, admitting that the trip to India was very important for the President to make. When he admitted and emphasized the importance of the trip, he implied that the costs of said trip is not a squadering of tax-payer dollars, but a necessary expense, to ensure that our Indian ally not feel "snubbed" by the President backing out.


The critique of the President taking the trip was cetered on cost.
For him to not make the trip would have offended the Indians-- esspecially since this trip had been pre-scheduled.

In suggesting that the President should not make this trip because it would be too expensive, his critics were suggesting that the President "snub" a key ally.

If the President had cancelled his trip, regardless of the intent, the Indians would have felt "snubbed."


So do you understand now?
