How Much is Obama's India Trip Costing Tax Payers?

Angel November 02, 2010 19:40:14
obama will be leaving 2 days after the election to tour around India...

The trip will cost taxpayers 200 million a day for 10 days

The obama's will rent the entire Hotel Taj, 570 rooms

There are two jumbo jets coming along with Air Force One, which will be flanked by security jets. The President’s convoy has 45 cars.”

The Economic Times also reported that Mr Obama’s delegation is so large that another 300 rooms have reportedly been booked in other luxury Mumbai hotels.

Except for personnel providing immediate security to the president, the US officials may not be allowed to carry weapons. The state police is competent to take care of the security measures and they would be piloting the presidential convoy," the official said on condition of anonymity.

The Taj Mahal hotel was the scene of a three-day battle between Indian commandos and terrorists who stormed the luxurious Mumbai landmark as part of their deadly rampage through the city in November 2008

On the first day of his visit, Obama will pay homage to the victims of 26/11 Mumbai attacks at Hotel Taj where he is expected to make a statement on terrorism.

obama is to visit Mani Bhavan where a Mahatma Gandhi Museum stands...

some of the volunteers at Mani Bhavan have expressed displeasure over heightened security arrangements.

"Mani Bhavan is the place associated with Gandhi who promoted non-violence. But every day people from White House and US security agencies are coming with guns and sniffer dogs"

Criticism is sure to come as the trip approaches and it should, when unemployment stands at near 10%, and families struggle to make ends meet...

It is clear that obama and michelle and his administration learned nothing from the public outcry...

UPDATE:
obama will be taking along
36 war ships
46 jets
3,000 people
and he wants to be there to see the festival of lights

    Rat vermin corrupted Boss Tweed-Obama and his corrupted Tammany Hall regime is finally being exposed.
    Otraitor is a man-child emperor-with-no-clothes. He is a rat vermin traitor with a plummeting popularity rating because he hates America, hates freedom and hates liberty. He works for the interests Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan (both under his tenure have become vastly more powerful) and the banking oligarchs along with Sen. Dodd and Rep. Frank. He supports expanded wars - but strangely Soros funded Code Pink and Media Matters are silent for this baby-dictator Obama. Obama is weak and the world is destabilizing, he is a slave to the oligarchical collectivists and rules our population with an iron fist with a velvet glove. Obama coddles terrorists, Iran, MS13 gangs, Mexican Narco-State Drug Czars and criminals with sanctuary and open borders. He cracks down on the middle class - the law abiding tax paying child bearing middle class whom he considers subjects in his regime. His IRS has audited at a rate 300% above normal and they are hiring tens of thousands of new auditors. His census was a Nazi-like info-gathering attempt. He has outspent all previous presidents in one year. He is big brother, he is a traitor and he is a little man child moron figurehead empty suit that acts chi...

He is big brother, he is a traitor and he is a little man child moron figurehead empty suit that acts childish and thin skinned because he is uneducated. Sure he was indoctrinated with progressive trash, but given what he says and thinks he is a stupid uneducated failure of a man that could not hunt, grow food for himself, nor even change his tire. He knows nothing of math, history, physics or chemistry, his ideas are idiot Alinsky eructations and regurgitations, his speech capability without a teleprompter is pathetic and he is one of the stupidest people to ever grace the Office of the President. This moron man-child Otraitor looks and acts like a thin skinned loser. He is a disgusting traitor and a progressive rat that will be remembered as the worst moth pathetic leader in modern US history.
    This Obama regime is the modern Boss Tweed Tammany Hall. The depraved nature of the Democrat party and its hidden progressive-Marxist agenda has been a cancer on America for well over a 100 years now, and today, the main stream media is controlled by the progressives so we don't have Thomas Nast drawings exposing what this rat vermin Obama is doing.

    If he achieves nothing useful, it is too much.
    If he achieves something desireable and useful to the economy and job market, then we can quibble about the cost later.

    It probably costs about as much as any other major trip abroad for a U.S. president. As for not learning anything from Tuesdays elections, these things are scheduled much more than two days in advance. Fellow party members losing their seats isn't a big enough deal for the U.S. as a whole for the President to cancel something like this.

    Americans have not being crying about the money spent in Washington for 2 days , we have been doing it for years... and this party wasn't listening... so they had it coming on Nov 2 and that is just the beginning ....

    The thing is, he's not the first president to go abroad, and trips abroad for the president are by neccessity expensive. I doubt that this particular trip is all that much more expensive and burdensome for the American taxpayer than previous ones. I'm not saying that our government shouldn't be more frugal with our dollars, but the last two years aren't the first time a president has travelled abroad at great expense.
    I agree, the Democrats haven't been listening, but to be honest with you, the Republicans weren't listening four years ago. Do you think they'll listen now?

    I guess all you haters are like a bunch of lemmings. Someone (and un-named someone) throws a number out there...not based in FACTS... and you all run with it.
    USA today is reporting that those numbers were wildly inflated...
    Not that that would matter to you sorry saps. If someone starts a rumor about our president it MUST be true for you guys.
    Shame on you all - You're an embarrassment to humanity, and most of you even call yourselves 'Christians' - your type of Christianity really makes me PUKE.

    How can we know the numbers are wildly inflated when the same person also says the real numbers cannot be disclosed? By the way, a number can be wildly inflated and still be the correct estimate if the final estimate is itself wildly inflated from initial estimates.
  • Ken Georgia50 November 05, 2010 16:45:29

    The simple point is that you all ran (like a bunch of lemmings) with the numbers that an UN-NAMED source gave you... and you took it as gospel, simply to spread your hatred.
    Shame on you all.

    According to one estimate, that would be about the equivalent of 1/2 the daily cost of the wars in Iraq AND Afghanistan, which is really unlikely.

    BUT planning a trip halfway around the world 2 days after a major election isn't a good idea. If the Democrats had done well, the President should be here congratulating them and crafting an agenda. Since the Republicans did well, the President should be here congratulating them and crafting an agenda.

    Wow, and did you keep track of George Moron Jr's comings and goings or did you fall asleep at the wheel!!!!

    Especially when the energy prices were astronomical, no I didn't think so! How many vacations did Moron Jr. take in six months, eight to be exact!!!!! In fact he was on vacation when the informus BPD came in about Bin Ladin wanting to fly planes into buildings!

    Condi Rices excuse, Moron was tired of swatting flys!

    So now that the Reichwing/Fleabaggers have control, when is immigration going to be taken care of.......It seems kinda funny that now the Reichwing/Fleabaggers are in office that the issue of immigration is going to suddenly go silent!
