All these countries always love tourists especially if they have big bucks.

Are they sending a plane for her loot?

[skr]

As long as it’s her money, who cares?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

as the US first lady almost ran out of money

I doubt that would actually happen. She'd just apply for a Federal bailout.

[Doogle]

...she’s just getting rinky dinks for future heads of state that visit as gifts from the American people...any ipads or DVD’s?

[SanFranDan]

But won’t the unions be upset that she didn’t buy American?

[ari-freedom]

“Part of the gifts she bought were also elephants and fans made of rice grain and rice stalk. “

we also decided to send Obama a nice gift of many elephants :)

[Colonel Kangaroo]

As long as she’s paying with her own money, I don’t care. Presidential spouses and families have always used state travel as an opportunity for a shopping spree.

It takes time to be properly fitted for a howdah.

Who is all this stuff for? Michelle and Barack don’t give their kids Christmas gifts, right? (My guess is that tradition was Barack’s idea and Michelle has been getting around it for years.)

[TexasCajun]

The US first lady exhausted her shopping budget at the crafts museum and said the Indian craft items were ideal gifts of Christmas, barely one-and-a-half months away!

Didn't Imam Obamah say his family doesn't celebrate Christmas or birthdays?

[MWestMom]

She could have simply gone to Pier 1 or World Market and it would have cost the taxpayers less money!

[SMARTY]

Looks like they’re addicted to other peoples’ money!

[PATRIOT1876]

Ms. POTUS,

By all means, please use our credit card!

How do you say Boob Belt in Hindi?

[GeronL]

She’s on a billion dollar budget

[crosshairs]

I’m sure it’s not her money.

[ridesthemiles]

Was one of those planes empty on the out-bound trip/ Or is she sending everything home on UPS???

[silverleaf]

Sheneneh creatin’ jobs for untouchables and their chilluns in sweatshops whose tiny fingers make those crafts

LOL!

[T Minus Four]

...Barack Obama during his first trip to India...

What exactly does THAT mean? Doesn't he have other countries on his list to pander to and insult? I'm sure there will be plenty of taxpayer money to go through them all once, but twice is asking too much!
