I spent the last 30 days watching TV adds of politicians telling the most obvious boneheaded lies that even a third rate moron could see through.....the only thing I can surmize it that there must be a lot of third rate morons out there. Cause the most of the politicans on my ballot who were telling the biggest whoopers got elected/re-eleced.
As I said, it is a ridiculous figure. Seriously. We spend about 5.9 Billion in Afghanistan each month. If you take that figure and average it out it is about $190 Million per day. One trip to India won't cost $200 Million per day even if the 590 person security entourage really is taking over the Taj Mahal Hotel and had to pay the security deposit.
However, it does spark an interest. How much do these diplomatic trips cost us? I mean it isn't like the G20 is something we're not going to have somebody at...

True. I'm just curious. I don't believe that the G20 is something we should ignore because it costs money, but is there ways to cut corners? How much do we spend on this kind of thing? I honestly don't know.
Giving people a good average on what was spent in the past certainly wouldn't endanger Obama now.

Oh come one Damo, I mean you do have a point about the cost but what about the glaring hypocricy here? Where were these same loud mouths when Bush took his trips abroud that, undoubtably, cost just as much, actually more, as he was President for 8 years, not just two, not that I begrudge Bush those trips. My point being, this is just more partisan mud slinging we can do with out.
I agree that we should know more, but when it comes to the DoD, well, you know as well as I that they get to hide a lot of things! I think it is the most corrupt department in our government.

How much were the cost of Bush's trips? Clintons? Bush I? Reagans? etc. Why is it now all of a sudden important that Obama go out of his way to be transparent about the cost of said trip when there has been no expectation of such from his predecesors?
This is just more stupid stupid partisan mudslinging by the talking heads Damo.

What Beck actually said-
Beck at 5:25 p.m.: "Some people say that it is up to $2 billion for 10 days. Is that true? I don't know." From the November 4 edition of Glenn Beck:
BECK: A report came out that has made the rounds on the Internet about the high cost of this trip. Some people say that it is up to $2billion for 10 days. Is that true? I don't know. The media is bickering back and forth about what the real cost is and how many ships will be there. Thirty-four warships, possibly. I don't know. Two hundred million dollars a day while in India. I don't know. president has blocked off eight hundred hotel rooms. Do we even know if he's traveling with 3,000 people? Do we know if that's true? No one knows any of the details of this trip, the real cost of the trip. One thing we can say for certain is it's going to be quite expensive.

Even bringing that up is disingenuous at best. Anyone with half a brain can tell what he (and others) are trying to do.

So who are the "some people" that Beck continues to quote?
Where did this supposed "report" originate?
How about you find some answers to THOSE questions BEFORE you swallow what Beck sells you hook, line and sinker?
Beck admits he doesn't know anything, his comments are total speculation with no basis in truth or fact, yet you take his word as gospel like the bleating, naive sheep you truly are.
They existed, but your memory tends to have a bit of relapse where Bush is concerned.
My, my Zappapatoot-skies. We're in a bit of a huff today aren't we?
Wassamatter? Is this delayed foot stamping from yesterday?
If you read the story you'd know who the source was, well generally so, and where the story originated. However, I listened to Beck just to see if what you were saying was true (we get him on delay here). He did notice that the other reporters laughed at the guy asking the questions, but he never reported the "truth" of 200 Million per day rubbish. I suspect you are going off of a report from an unnamed source on liberalblogspotsrus.dem and not actual information of something that you actually heard.
He's like a giant bellows~ an inflated giant bellows looking to pump air into a fire to make his life even a little passionate.
Most of Beck's comments are opinions hardly based in fact!
Yeah, Beck leaves a lot out of his reporting and just hints at things or suggests, that is real good reporting...I'm just saying, ahahahahahaha
