Not since the days of the Pharaohs or Roman Emperors has a head of state travelled in such pomp and expensive grandeur as Obama has to India

barack-obama-arroganceLets assume for the moment that the rumor of $200 million PER DAY for Obama’s India trip is bogus.  Big presidential trips like this from when Clinton or Bush would go to places like Africa generally were reported to cost about $5 million per day. Even with the $200 million per day amount that was floated by an India newspaper, and the regime claiming the number is bogus, the regime still wouldn’t give any cost estimates per day when they are asked. The $200 million per day is probably bogus, but the actual per day cost of this trip is probably quite a bit more than the average daily amount of a trip of this nature. That’s why the Obama regime wouldn’t give the American people any cost estimates. Even the British are amazed at the pomp and arrogance of the Obama regime’s trip.  The UK Daily Mail writes a story about the trip with the following paragraph

Probably not since the days of the Pharaohs or the more ludicrous Roman Emperors has a head of state travelled in such pomp and expensive grandeur as the President of the United States of America.


What? Aren’t these Europeans in love with Obama? The Brits go on to write:

Obama arrives in India at the start of a ten-day tour of Asia. At the heart of the White House caravan is ‘The Beast’, a gigantic, ‘pimped-up’ General Motors Cadillac which security experts say is, short of an actual battle tank, probably the safest road vehicle on the planet.

But an outlandish car is only the start. Mr Obama will fly, of course, on Air Force One, the presidential private jumbo jet, which, boasting double beds and suites, is fitted out more like a luxury yacht. Some reports suggest it costs around $50,000 (£31,000) an hour to operate.
