Republican/Tea Partier Bachman claims that President Obama's upcoming trip is going to cost 200 million dollars per day. This information is kept secret and not published. So where is her source, an anonymous source alleged to be an regional Indian official. Now how would a regional Indian government official know something that is kept from our congressmen for security reasons? Clinton's comperable trip cost 50 million dollars for the entire trip which is probalby what this trip will cost...far less than the 200 million dollar per day being touted by Bachman and her fellow Tea Partiers/Republicans. This is just yet another in a long line of incidents demonstrating the high disregard Tea Partiers/Republicans hold for the truth. It was also interesting to see Bachman do the Tea Party/Republican dance when Cooper tries to pin her down on how she/they intend to get the nations finances under control. http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/michele-bachmann-accuses-obama-administrat
Republicans are penny wise, pound foolish. How much did Bush's various photo ops cost in Iraq and on aircraft carriers? They are just slime that want to use this for politics.
The numbers are being widely reported in the Indian media. Drudge has picked some of the articles up, but many are available. Either way, the costs are obtainable after the trip. They are Open Records, which is exactly how the Media obtained the numbers for the Air Force one buzz of NYC.
