86% of the population of India lives on under $2 a day
examiner.com According to New Delhi Television, it is estimated that in his upcoming visit to India, Barack Hussein Obama will rack up a tab of $200 million a day, courtesy of the American taxpayer.
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.
The average annual income in India is $460.
86% of the population lives under $2 per day; 44% lives under $1 per day.
That’s better!
NO!
Send them both - but let them keep the money on condition they also KEEP obmmer...give him and mookie a $500 year allowance.
Yes I forgot for a moment the idiots spending the money.
Disgusting! The Obama’s are making sure they “Get Theirs” before they are booted out of office in 2012....
They booked every room in the Taj Mahal Hotel. And that probably does not even cover the whole group.
Tea Party Nation Reports-
“In the era of Obama, mind-boggling spending is unfortunately, no longer mind-boggling. But this is extreme, even by Obama standards.
The cost of Obama’s trip to Mumbai is going to be $200 million, per day!
That is not $200 million for the trip. That is $200 million a day. He is going to have 40 Air Force aircraft, including both 747 aircraft that we typically know as Air Force One. Other aircraft are support aircraft needed to fly in three Marine helicopters (Marine One) for the President. There will be six limousines, plus presumably other vehicles for the Secret Service detail. According to press reports, there will be a party of three hundred with him. Some reports simply call them friends of his, in which case, the actual entourage would be much larger as that would not include the President’s support staff, First Lady’s support staff, etc.
While million of Americans are out of work, he is going to get an all expense paid trip, with his family to the Taj Mahal. I am sure there are a lot of Americans who would like to see that wonder too. The difference is, we have to pay for it.
Speaking of paying for it, the Christmas season is approaching. Obama has famously said he does not buy his children Christmas presents. There are a lot of Americans who would like to buy their children Christmas presents this year, but will not be able to because they are out of work. Yet Obama can blow almost a billion dollars on a junket. A billion dollars of taxpayers’ money.
Oh, and while in India, Michelle is going to meet with commercial sex workers. She could do that in Washington. Come to think of it, can anyone tell curious Americans what it is about this trip that is so special? Is there anything about this trip that could not be accomplished by the American ambassador to India? Or something that could not be accomplished by a phone call?
Of course, Obama wants to act like an emperor. He does not care what the cost is, as long as he gets to spend money.
Perhaps he will be tuning into the election results tonight. He should, since the American people telling him what they think tonight.”
NOW what can we do to stop the trip? Create grid lock at the Airport, Cause Air Traffic Control Walk out, Pilot/s Boycott flights? I don’t know but I am p!!sed.
True story!!
Once again President Obama will be acting stupidly.
What do you bet the ink is still wet on those $100 bills?
I wonder if the $200 million/day figure includes tips.

WTH is he gunna do?!?!!!
Buy India?!?!?!?!!!
How the heck is he going to explain all that spending while there is so much unemployment (my BIL got laid-off just a few weeks ago : ( )?
Bummer about your BIL,,,
The American people are taking care of some of the problem
tonight...;0)
But their candidates are doing well. Rubio and Allen West (both republicans) have won and will win. Yippee!!!!

OBAMA AVOIDS BIBLE VERSES !
Here are some Bible verses that Pres. Obama avoids:
Proverbs 19:10 (NIV): “It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury - how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!”
Also Proverbs 30:22 (NIV) which says that the earth cannot bear up under “a servant who becomes king.”
And Ecclesiastes 5:2-3 (KJV) advises: “let thy words be few...a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.”
Although Obama is not descended from slaves, he may feel that he’s destined to become a black-slavery avenger.
Or maybe an enslaver of all free citizens!
From another perspective, that 10 day trip would buy about 14 F-22s or a big chunk of an aircraft carrier
Sen.Vitter(R La.) and Dr. Fleming(R La.) have kept their seats,,,
Been a cold and rainy day here,,,
The dems still got a “Hot Foot”...;0)
Mike Quigley (Rahm’s) old seat is winning big time. We here in Chicago are so stupid. And don't you dare agree with me. ; )
Some area’s of this country will always vote dem,,,
Ain’t no way around it,,,
It seems like these black area’s will always vote dem/lib
no matter what happens...
It certainly must include the 200 CEOs and business leaders who are accompanying him there. Gee, I wonder what 200 CEOs and business leaders would want with a country where the average annual income is $460?
I hope the CEOs are going on their own dime, but you probably couldn't get an accurate accounting of the whole thing anyway. I wonder if any of my tax dollars will end up paying for the end of my job on these shores? Nice of everybody to get together and work so nicely at selling us out, though. They sure pull together when it benefits them.
