“Sorry, I’m still not convinced. About the $2B.”

The $200 mil /day figure is totally unfounded. But that won’t stop a lot of people from believing it.”

40 airplanes. 6 limosines. 700 FBI agents. 300 CEO’s (unidentified) of companies. 3000 prox total in entourage. Personal Chef for Nobama. Food & water for NObama & selected members of entourage. (Expecting to be poisoned?) ALL the rooms of the Taj Mahal Hotel booked. More rooms booked nearby. Restaurants booked for this entourage only.

YOU tell us how much money you think that all adds up to. I defer to your expertise, but I must warn you-I am a life long bookkeeper.

2 mil a day is probably just for the obama family. The entire military secret service are probably more.

**************

When I visited the Far East years ago and expressed interest in a future trip to India, the guide mentioned that India is a very rough trip no matter how ‘high end.’ She said: “Everyone gets sick in India!” Thus I can see why Zero would want his own chef along -—

Ok, I’ll bite.

Using your own (also unsubstantiated(* figure of 3000 people:

Let’s say they all naturally travel in high style, top security, etc.

$1k/day? $2k? Heck, why not $10k?

$10k/day * 3k people = $3 mil. Not 200 mil.

Again, look up the cost of the war in Afghanistan or Iraq, then use some common sense..

Look, I deplore “his highness” as much as you do. But when we jump on insane stuff like this, we just make ourselves look as stupid as DU’ers on the other end of the spectrum.
