The taxpayers only spent $44 million to cover his travel and vacations. What a disgrace for such a god like leader. Should be double that.

In his recent trip to India, President Obama repeated a long-standing pattern of his — denigrating the United States to foreign audiences. He said that he had been discriminated against because of his skin color in America, a country in which there is, even now, "terrible poverty."
Make no mistake about it, there is no society of human beings in which there are no rotten people. But for a President of the United States to be smearing America in a foreign country, whose track record is far worse, is both irresponsible and immature.
Years after the last lynching of blacks took place in the Jim Crow South, India's own government was still publishing annual statistics on atrocities against the untouchables, including fatal atrocities. The June 2003 issue of "National Geographic" magazine had a chilling article on the continuing atrocities against untouchables in India in the 21st century.
Nothing that happened to Barack Obama when he was attending a posh private school in Hawaii, or elite academic institutions on the mainland, was in the same league with the appalling treatment of untouchables in India. And what Obama called "terrible poverty" in America would be called prosperity in India.
The history of the human race has not always been a pretty picture, regardless of what part of the world you look at, and regardless of whatever color of the rainbow the people have been.
If you want to spend your life nursing grievances, you will never run out of grievances to nurse, regardless of what color your skin is. If some people cannot be rotten to you because of your race, they will find some other reason to be rotten to you.

Thomas Sowell is a jewel. He is a clear thinker, a lucid writer, and in this case he knows from experience whereof he speaks.
If you ever get a chance to hear Sowell when he was a guest on Milton Friedman’s TV series, don’t miss it. It is probably on YouTube somewhere.
Ah, try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnNrQHHH_3g, or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQkdSj6arn0
And there are many more.

Thanks...I had never seen the previous one but have seen the latter. Both are excellent, the social worker and Francy Piven were outclassed. :)

Obama is an ass, plain and simple.
