I've also read that he's hired 43 Caucasian males to make this trip to India with him, mostly from Oklahoma and Mississippi, so they can peel his grapes and hold his willy while he's taking a pith. They're still screening the 12,000 applicants that applied for the job.

That would have been during Bush's tenure, two years ago.

LOL...another article packed with lies. This article cannot be serious, it is hilarious. I would point out the lies but I have done it far too many times and posted links. Clearly anyone trying to pass this garbage off as factual information wouldn't know the truth if it walked up and slapped them in the face.

34 warships is equivalent to 10% of the Navy's force. They sent nowhere near 40 planes as well. I know that you're a smart woman (assumption from your name), so I think you should recheck your figures. CNN had a pretty good video on the topic yesterday. Don't dumb yourself down in the name of being against Obama.

What are you all talking about? I keep hearing about Obama spending a lot of money on a trip, but no one gives details. Why is he taking the trip and what is out of line on the spending? Or what is he up to on the trip would probably be my best question? I think he is somebody we need to keep a close eye on because I trust him, not at all.

I was switching channels and CNN was defending their man as usual by saying other presidents had done about the same. The same as what? Beyond saying he could do no wrong, they really did not say much. CNN stop telling me what I should think and give me the facts. I don't care what you think I should think. My thoughts are my business and your reporting is very lacking.

He took Michelle and the kids on a shopping trip to India, and they're touring the beaches there. They'll be there about a month or so. They're paying for 3,000 friends from Chicago and contributors to Democratic candidates this election to come along. He commandeered 10% of the battleships in the Navy to form a semi-circle protecting each beach they're going to be sunbathing on. They've worked hard, and they deserve a vacation.
