Hmm Republicans freaking out and lying about a cost of a trip when a Democrat is in the White House. I wonder how concerned they were about the cost of trips when Bush was in office.....
How much do you think these rooms will cost alone per day?
Costs for trips have generally been a security issue, and has been for sometime. How many costs of Bush trips do we know for example?
As a side note in the Cooper interview with Bachmann that was posted in the other thread, Cooper mentions that Clinton's big trip to Asia, which was bigger than this one, and though of the largest for any sitting U.S President was $50 million for the whole trip.

A) That was over 10 years ago. Costs have gone up big time since then.
B) We shall see who holds the record after this Obama Indian trip.
C) I am sure that if Bush spent more on a foreign trip than Clinton the press would have been all over it. It should be easy to find.

"With his visit to Denmark to pitch Chicago as the site for the 2016 summer Olympics, President Barack Obama has now visited more countries in his first year in office than any other president did."
"Obama will add more before his first year anniversary. He'll visit China, Japan, Singapore and South Korea next month."
The figures are not correct. 1. the Secret service does not identify the cost of any of the presidential trips as a whole. though a Clinton trip was once reported to be $50M which was believed to bet he most expensive.
2. an anonymous India reported the 200M figure and had nothing to get it from ..it was a made up number the reps have latched on to. There is no accuracy. will it cost 20 million yea prob. but they have 2000 people going.
His life might be in danger over there in Pawkeestahhn and Eendeeah.
