If thisis true, then this sickens and upsets me.
Is there anyone....ANYONE in this government of ours who is the least bit concerned about this? $200 million per day... This represents the annual gross revenues of many fortune 500 companies.
This is so wasteful... I am outraged more and more every and this vanity master in the WH.
I can’t believe that any other president has lived this high on the hog.... What did it cost when Bush traveled?
Why must this man completely take over then entire hotel? 200 rooms? Have we gone crazy?
We’d all do better if that money was handed out to every American.....rather than his handing India jobs and industry to their country...I’m sure the unemployed here could use it.
Hmmm. Maybe he knows something we don’t about his security situation. Theyr’e buying out all the rooms at the Taj Mahal, too, for his India visit.
His travel comes out of the military budget, I believe!
The entourage will be the biggest ever in terms of logistics and manpower for any US president.
The president himself will be ferried around in a black Cadillac - dubbed ‘Barack Mobile’ - which has its own built in communications centre - to enable Obama to be in touch with the White House, US vice president and the US strategic command
The car also has the US nuke launch codes and the nuclear switch for the president. It can also withstand a chemical or germ warfare or even a bomb attack.
Obama will be accompanied on the trip by US first lady Michelle Obama and their daughters Malia and Sasha, according to Indian newspaper Headlines Today.

Yes, the $200mm/day is absoultely gross, but that amount of revenue may get you in the Fortune 5,000 but not within sniffing disatance of the 500. Look on the bright side, 3,000 people/200 rooms is 15 per room. The Zero is trying to save us poor tax payers a few bucks.

I repeat from yesterday....
...... your seeing what Washington and the Beltway are really all about now, right smack out in the open. ....You can “reach right into Thomas side” now, and believe flat out.
Total bailout for the all the exact same players was what the bailout and VampireCare was, and is, all about. There exists no U.S. and Constitution to these people. None.
I have a better comparison!
That much money could provide a check for the 20,000,000 working Americans who are currently unemployed ---- each for $100. Not quite a month's mortgage payment but enough to feed a family for a week.
Probably taking over the complete 5-star Hotel with security as an excuse.
I am more angry because the country is drowning in debt already. If we had a huge budget surplus, I would still be angry for $200 million/day splurge.
This is simply incredulous.
