Right. The 3000 person retinue, scores of limosines, renting the entire Taj Mahal Hotel, the bomb proof security tunnel, etc, etc, are plenty reason to consider this jerk an egocentric megalomaniac.

I read this article. This guy is a low level blogger. I wonder if he has taken orders directly from the CIC.
Untill I see credible proof (or denial) from the MSM, I will continue to belive Obama is taking 34 warships for a 2 billion dollar joyride.

Sure enough, there are not 34 ships and there isnt an aircraft carrier supporting the presidents trip, said a defense official, who declined to provide any information on security measures for presidential trips. So, this article is based on a tip by an anonymous defense official who refuses to say anything about how many ships there are? Wow, that's convincing evidence!

Doesn’t matter if the story is true or not.
What matters is that the story is completely believable to most Americans.
And that is the REAL problem.....

The million dollar question should be "Where did the Press Trust of India get that info"?
Besides this opinion piece only quibble about numbers.

Stars & Stripes? LOL! The chicken sh*t brass of generals, admirals and full bird colonels are Obama’s boys now. I do not trust them. They are snakes doing Obama’s bidding.
The Pentagon is infested with muslims now. Americans traded their liberty for a TV clicker.

So if there aren't 34 ships being deployed and $200 mil/day being expended, what are the numbers? Seems like if you're attempting to refute a rumor, you should refute it with some actual facts. Curiously, all the wild numbers come from the Indian press, but the highly sophisticated American press has no numbers and cannot estimate. Funny, they can estimate the impact of cow farts on the atmosphere, but can't estimate the cost of moving x number of bodies and equipment half way around the world. I watched Cooper sneer at Bachmann last night over the same issue, but he didn't know the real numbers either.

Warships Rumors Are Not True Imagine that. These obviously unreliable reports from India turned out to be false after all.
And yet there were dozens of FReepers who piled on to them, spewing venom from every orifice.
If I were a bad guy (e.g., a Democrat operative), and I were worried about Tea Party types, I might just use that sort of response to make the Tea Partiers jump in all directions until they collapse from sheer exhaustion.
Maybe this will clue some folks in on the need to start using a bit more common sense where sensational stories are concerned.
But I am not optimistic.

Ironic that the American taxpayer will be spending perhaps half a billion dollars a day to insure that scumbag’s security while he’s working overtime to strip the country of any semblance of security, either in its physical security or its financial security.
