Today, we can all agree, our country is currently in an economic hole.
For a wide variety of reasons we are facing very difficult decisions ahead.
After senselessly wasting trillions of our hard earned money and having nothing to show for it beyond an increased debt load, Mr. Obama recently claimed that he was going to focus on debt and deficit reduction.
If that is true, then why, oh why Mr. President are you leaving on a trip which will cost us $200 million per day?
Mumbai: The US would be spending a whopping $200 million (Rs. 900 crore approx) per day on President Barack Obama's visit to the city."The huge amount of around $200 million would be spent on security, stay and other aspects of the Presidential visit," a top official of the Maharashtra Government privy to the arrangements for the high-profile visit said.
About 3,000 people including Secret Service agents, US government officials and journalists would accompany the President. Several officials from the White House and US security agencies are already here for the past one week with helicopters, a ship and high-end security instruments.
$200 million per day?
Dozens of aircraft? Hundreds of hotel rooms? Three thousand plus in the traveling entourage? Multiple Marine One helicopters which must be taken apart, flown over to India, and then reassembled?
Mr. President, please allow me to speak for a large portion of the American people for just a moment.
Have you no shame sir? Just stay home.

Stay home?
He’s out searching for one;)
“Shame” is a concept that is totally alien to the Narcissist in Chief.
May his remaining two years in OUR White House be as torturous and miserable for him as his first two have been for America.
Prediction:
an aura of “Obamas are jet-setting while D.C. and the heartland are burning” will sweep over the land as photos and stories about the stupid Diwali festival and elephant rides and the first family wearing saris emanate from India
the USA neither has nor wants a royal family,
but moochelle and 0’barry don’t give a damn
This is what happens when a criminal enterprise hijacks the government and its machinery.
While people are having problems getting work, keeping their jobs, paying their mortgages, and feeding their families, this narcissistic elitist spends $200 million PER DAY on a self-aggrandizing junket to India with an entourage comprised of 800 persons, 40 airplanes, 2 helicopters, dozens of limosines, and the indispensable technology to promote himself, including the ubuquitous 0bama teleprompters.
Arrogance.
Pride.
Hubris.
Raiding and wasting of the People’s Treasury.
This criminal and his agents should be impeached, convicted, and exiled to a socialist “paradise” somewhere.
> We have a king not a President!
No king anywhere on earth lives as ostentatiously and opulently as this poseur.
No king on earth spends as wrecklessly on his own self-aggrandizement as this narcissistic megalomaniac.
"I have the IP and jobs of 200 enemy American companies
to deliver to my 57 states. Now kneel."
Maybe not a 21st century king, but he could challenge a 19th or 18th century monarch. Louis XVI comes to mind.
He has no shame. He is NOT an American. If he were, he would NOT be behaving as he does.
His ultimate goal is to bring down the USA. We the people have spoken, AND HAVE BEEN HEARD.
I am now encouraged to fight even harder to bring this usurper to it’s evil knees.
Is this a trick question?
This SHOULD end worse than Moochelle’s Spain trip with the girls!! This is nothing but a VACATION for them!! DIsgusting waste of or money.
Mr. President! Have you no shame sir? Have you no shame at all?
Really? You have to ask?
Maybe Obama is inspired to outdo Clinton--remember his gala vacations in Africa and China?
You forgot the big one:
Race-based ENTITLEMENT
whatever happened to “$XXX doesn’t feed a starving child,” blah blah blah? If there’s poverty and squalor anywhere, it’s in India. Why would our POTUS put on such an elaborate show of wealth? So he’s now a Brahmin?
6 days...that would make it 1.2 Billion Dollars...What a scum!!!
