So, you swallowed the FOX News BS hook,line and sinker. Every U.S. President travels on Air Force One with an entourage of staff and security. Air Force One is fine for GOP Presidents but the wing nuts expect President Obama to fly in the back of coach on a budget airline. Hypocrisy by the carload.
How many trips did the taxpayers pay to have George W. cut brush in Crawford, didn't hear many Republicans complaining then!
lol lol hahaha only the right wing media would have listener that would actually believe it your a mindless zombie lol lol or a born fool lol.
Every right nut comedy store (YOUR NEWS) reported this story as fact lol and every righty believed it lol. It's the same thing every day with them over & over & over & hows it feel to be an idiot.
I'll let you in on a little secret the story was first reported by a republican campaign contribution from INDIA..
Perhaps you should try CNN obviusely I'm a Democrat and CNN is not always to kind to Obama. They report things I dont like to hear but I like it real in context no BS like FOX who is so full of it
He's in India for trade talks that will result in ten billion dollars of exports from the US and thousands of jobs being created in this country. After that, he's stopping in Indonesia for talks with their President on coordinating our actions against Islamic radicals in the region. From there, he goes to Seoul, ROK, for the G20 summit.
Not a vacation, but a business trip.
And if you actually believe that a Presidential visit costs more per day than our entire war effort in Afghanistan on a daily basis then I feel sorry for you. The US Navy has made it clear that they are not moving so much as a single ship, let alone 10% of our current fleet. Various sources have noted that the 200 million per day figure makes sense if the unnamed Indian source was using Rupees rather than dollars. 200 million Rupees is about 4.5 million dollars, a cost far closer to known costs of past Presidential trips.
1. Transportation and fuel for the entourage for all the people who will go (like hairdressers, wardrobe, make-up artists)
2. Naval ships to guard all the main water ways, and coast lines, salaries for the troops that will guard the people that are going.
3. Limousines to carry all the people from point A to point B
4. I-Pods for the royal family and their relatives
First billion seems like chump change, we should only be so lucky.
