FAUX news and repugnitards caught lying again -- Obama India trip costs more like 4 million a day, not 200 million

republicans in congress have become just utter filth, i can't express the contempt that i feel for these people .. obviously they have no regard for the truth

but what DO they care about? not america. israel, perhaps. power, i'm sure, and money too. not the truth.

you're being sarcastic i presume.

you'll probably get banned..

Either way its a waste....

everyother CORP teleconferences...WHY NOT Obama...cause they are scared!

oh just 4 million a day? oh in that case.

give me a fucking break the average person will never make anywhere close to that kind of money in their entire lifetime and these douchbags are spending it like nothing, and what is being accomplished??

This goes for all the douchbags in government, republican or democrat all the same bullshit.

Stop being fooled America, because of shit like this we need the revolution now.

The cost to operate an aircraft carrier task force, at sea, is well in excess of 4 million dollars a day.

Springsteen "Magic" -- appropriate tune to go along with this thread

from springsteen intro to perforamnce:

"we're living in an Orwellian time in which lies and be made to seem true, and truth to be lies"




trust none of what you hear
and less of what you see
this is what will be

...

i'll cut you in half
while you're smiling ear to ear
and the freedom that you sought
is drifting like a ghost among the trees
this is what will be

gosh, maybe you're right, why to presidents and prime ministers travel to foreign countries to meet with foreign leaders? maybe that's all just a waste of money?

from now on, US presidents shouldn't travel to foreign nations. or maybe .. just not Obama? part of the goal is to increase US exports to India. probably a waste of time.

when FAUX news and the radical right wing zionist jewish occupation govts propaganda apparatus lies to us in order to inflame us to turn us against leaders who have americas interest at heart, in order to get us to vote for corporate schills and christian fundamentalist end-of-times rapture nutcases who are easy to manipulate, that's OK ... it's just OK, because the truth isn't important, right? and the jews are gods chosen people, so it's OK if they rape this country and leave its dead carcass in a ditch, like they've done to one nation after another, because the nations are the jews inheritance? god said that. we're the lucky ones, because we get to die and be with Jesus, while the jews will be left here as the sole inhabitants of the earth

ya know...I watched this last night and was dismayed....given that faux is one channel down I visited it during the break and they were remarkably talking about $200,000/day!!!....UFB.......

who do you trust these days.....

eh???

oppps....$200,000,000.....

^^^^^ This.


200 million sounds more plausible.

Madcow is just spinning it the Demorats way, my guess, the cost is around $25-50 million a day.

when PMSNBC news and the radical left wing socialist progressive propaganda machines lies to us in order to inflame us to elect leaders who don't have america's interest at heart, in order to get us to vote for communists and an one-world government nutcases who are easy to manipulate, that's OK ... it's just OK, because the truth isn't important, right? and the unions are gods chosen people, so it's OK if they rape this country and leave its dead carcass in a ditch, like they've done to one nation after another, because the nations are the unions inheritance? god said that. we're the lucky ones, because we get to die and be with Jesus, while the unions will be left here as the sole inhabitants of the earth


There - fixed it for ya.

Only 4 million? Oh. That's nothing. I make that in a day.

Seriously folks... The government has gone crazy.

o-BANG-o wants to "celebrate" Diwali "in-country" with the Indian people.

Google it.

So much for his promise of fiscal discipline after getting shellacked in the mid-terms, because the general public "just didn't understand his message and programs" . . . .

i'm on this wagon too, i mean come on people, you do the math. 34 warships, 40 planes, how much fuel, labor, parts, food, medicine, and whatnot just to maintain and operate this armada.

Obama's ONE DAY trip to Copenhagen, to secure the bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics, cost over $10 MILLION a day. No hotels, no entourage, etc. He arrived on Friday morning and departed Friday evening. His trip was a failure, and other countries thought he was a fool, but, whatever....

Air Force One costs 236,000 for a flight to Chicago and back... 68,000 an hour...
the costs by racheal weasel...way under the actual cost that WE are paying for this trip

Probably. But there's no carrier group involved in the India visit.

Except the "armada" part of the story was also bullshit, denied by the Pentagon yesterday.

[link to www.google.com]

The claim that many of the 288-ship US naval fleet would be deployed to waters off Mumbai was "absolutely absurd," Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell told reporters on Thursday.

US officials usually decline to discuss details about security precautions for the president, but the media accounts circulating out of India were so off the mark that press officers at the Pentagon and the White House said they felt compelled to speak up.

"I will take the liberty this time of dismissing as absolutely absurd this notion that somehow we were deploying 10 percent of the Navy -- some 34 ships and an aircraft carrier -- in support of the president's trip to Asia," Morrell said.

"That's just comical. Nothing close to that is being done," he said.

And just so you get it right...
The Indian Papers are the one that said the cost was going to be 200 million..not the republicans
The US would be spending a whopping $200 million (Rs. 900 crore approx) per day on President Barack Obama’s visit to the city.

“The huge amount of around $200 million would be spent on security, stay and other aspects of the Presidential visit,” a top official of the Maharashtra Government privy to the arrangements for the high-profile visit said.

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.

Maybe it paying for this???

All coconuts around the city’s Gandhi museum, one of Mr Obama’s stops in the city, are being taken down.(justin case one falls on Obama's head)

Mani Bhavan, where Mahatma Gandhi stayed during his freedom struggle against the British, is among five places the US president is visiting in Mumbai.

“We told the authorities to remove the dry coconuts from trees near the building. Why take a chance?” Mani Bhavan’s executive secretary, Meghshyam Ajgaonkar, told the BBC.

You're right, it wasn't the Republicans, which I attempted to point out to the people going ballistic over the $200 million price tag yesterday. If the story had been true, the GOP legislators *would* have been talking. The complete silence should have made any thinking person realize it was a hoax.

Rachael is a lying cunt-- very simpple

air force one alone is 75 thousand per hour

Really, you believe the lies of the White House eh!

Op, you're point is WHAT? have you ever spent over... Hell...$200/day for 3 days straight?! 200 million / 4 million, does the number really matter when it's so outrageous?!

We hear so much about trillions and billions that any amount seems so small! It's sad really! That you are saying its a good thing! It's ridiculous! If could go to Asia and spend just $200/day I'd be extremely happy! Why do we have to accept this?! Why did he go at all?! This is insane at best!
