US to Spend $200 Million Per Day on Obama's Mumbai Visit

Well, if "socialism" had anything to do with a totally false pack-of-lies story about Obama's visit to India, then that might be sage advice...

But since it doesn't, thank you for a ridiculous, irrelevant and meaningless post.

Sorry to inform you. But Keith Olbermann has been suspended. You nutjobs on parade will need to shift to either Ed or Rachael.

Here's a tribute for you.

Chris matthews is good on news, he tells it the way it is, many don't like him, but I do. Makes me laugh!

In past administrations we were not running 1.3 Trillion deficits and printing money faster than the Dems are getting voted out. Can't Hillary fly over to India for a chit chat?

It's a big deal when you are selling 737's for Boeing, military jet engines, and nuclear to Indian. Let's call Obama the Nuclear Peddler in Chief. Hey, the trip is going to save or create 53,000 jobs in the US.

I bet Chris gives you a tingle down- or is it the back of your leg?

Republican Anger Over Cost of Obama’s Trip to India Will Not Be Stopped by Facts

Here's where the GOP — and the Fox News pundits — went with it. Glenn Beck wondered if maybe we should have been worried about Obama's Hindu connection, expressing distaste over "$2 billion for ten days so [Obama] can go see the festival of lights." Sean Hannity pointed out that that sure was a lot of money to visit "one of the biggest mosques in Indonesia." Michele Bachmann told Anderson Cooper, "I think it's not a good signal to send to the American people, when the American people are, quite frankly, struggling right now with high job losses." When Cooper pressed her on the inaccuracy of the figures she was quoting, Bachmann responded, "Well these are the numbers that have been coming out in the press." Ah, yes, that historically trusting bond between the GOP and "the press."

Wow, just think how angry the Republicans would be if it were TRUE?!?! Wow... One can only imagine!

Pineguy,

I agree it was over the top by Fox and conservative commentators. I do believe the other news outlets should have taken to task the White House on the costs. But most are reporting on the controversy.

You and I did better research than the national news agencies. The trail was interesting. I first saw the story at Marketwatch, I reviewed the reference, and followed it back to Press Trust of India - basically the AP of India.

I have been monitoring the Press Trust of India website over the past several days. I am starting to believe that much of their news about Obama's visit was US news bait propaganda that reflects their dislike of him or perhaps the US. I know you will probably blow a cork - but some of the stories about Obama have been politically outrageous. So outrageous I wouldn't dare post them on 285bound.

What is really disturbing is what Obama has provided India today. The ability to create more nuclear use.

I have a bad feeling about this trip, after hearing they are taking down coconuts off all trees any where obama plans to ride. Something fishy..

It's a very dangerous trip and he's staying in the very hotel that was the scene of the terrorist attack in Mumbai.
