I guess BO has to prove he can't be outdone my Michelle, huh? http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/S...trip-included-in-barack-obamas-itinerary.html I would love to see the taxpayer's bill on this trip (well maybe not)! heck, BO even has to get the first-ever teleprompter installed in order to tell him what to say...wonder how the Indians managed so long without teleprompters telling them what to say?
Quite right David he shoudnt leave the White house after all No other American President has ever gone on a forign trip have they and before you start to go on about the amount of security etc the world is a much different place than that visited by any other sitting President with the exception of President GW Bush India is one of the largest emerging markets in the world of course he should visit it make total sence.
Bush went there with just a shot gun and half a box of shells. He didn't need no stinkin' security detail! And he didn't waste money on a plane or hotel, either. He rode his trusty horse Trigger and slept by a campfire. Obama is a wuss.
A plane? A hotel? A little difference between A plane and what BO is undertaking, isn't there? And booking 570 rooms in a hotel? A little overkill, perhaps? And the sacred cow comment? If BO is involved it is probably 10,000 sacred cows!
And welding manhole covers closed when ANY President drives through a metropolis isnt overkill? You really despise anything this guy does, huh? and why are you such a sniveling coward? Why cant you answer a question I asked on The Rand Paul head stomp thread? What a NO NO.
As I've said, as long as craig, tom, moen and that ilk disagree with me, that's all the validation I'll ever need.
Golly and gee whiz David you're probably right! Unless of course anyone saw that my comment was a direct response to Stu's about Bush riding in on Trigger. Did you miss that somehow? I'd start name calling but Craiga takes care of that. Now get back to nosebleed territory. Maybe BJ Clinton can hook you up since the wife and kids are out of town.
My, my, my....a little thin-skinned, aren't we? You should really learn to chill out a bit. But on a good note, it was nice to see your post was relatively short...out of character for you but refreshing. All of this aside, clembo, you don't have any thoughts on BO's excess & extravagence?
Just for the record: I didnt start the name calling. David felt free to sarcastically call me a genius. So I figured he prefers to be called whatever derogatory name I choose. Same with Vess. He likes name calling so I guess he doesnt mind the same to him.
I told you, it was a mistake to call you a genius. Isn't that good enough? For the recoed, I do not believe you are a genius & I doubt anyone here would think you are a genius.
An entourage of over 4000 people is needed on this tour of India? Give me a break, this is nothing more than an ego-boosting tour d'force at the taxpayers expense. And the guy wonders why the TEA Party & so many AMericans are screaming about liberal's & their spending habits.
You already said that dummy. Come up with something new. And I said you said genius in a sarcastic way. So grow up.
I really have to doubt this 200 million dollar figure being bandied about. The war in Afghanistan is pegged at a cost of less than $400 million in 9 years. I seriously doubt this trip will cost half that amount every day. Of course, this administration, as usual, does nothing to help its cause by not immediately giving a ball park figure to counteract the hype and by expecting people to believe that releasing even just an estimated dollar amount is some kind of security threat.
BO just doesn't get it, that's the problem. I think he still believes he walks on water & everyone will go along with what he does. His narcissism and belief in his own "personal wonderfulness" won't allow him to accept he is making a huge mistake.
