His projected cost is 2 billion dollars! How many people could be helped with this waste of tax payers money?
Ummm, who provides foreign leaders who visit the U.S. with security and accomodations when they visit here? Oh, I guess that would be us, too.
hey, i bet it will actually save money since he wont be here to spend even more!
We can't afford this President!!!!!
Now we need to fire him next I can't wait for 2012!!!!
I bet it will cost more since he is most likely going to discuss out sourcing more American jobs. This will fit in his Global economy plan which was started when Bill Clinton signed / authorized NAFTA with the support of the Unions. Democrat / Progressive / Liberals keep forgetting which President signed the NAFTA authorization bill and who the main supporters / pushers of the NAFTA bill were.
Is there something coming our way in the form of a terrorist attack that compels him to take 3,000 people with him along with warships, etc???
How can this arrogant SOB look at the American people and tell us that he is doing everything he can to boost the economy and creat jobs! He insults us daily by telling us in nonverbal ways that he thinks we are STUPID!
Wake up America!!!Obama does not care about you...it is all about him (and his criminal friends).
It would be worth it if they would keep him.
Is there anywhere a place where we can find out what Presidents Bush and Clinton cost the taxpayers on their trips abroad?? Would like to compare the costs if possible. Is it really necessary that these trips be taken with our economy in the condition it is?
Too bad this wasn't the Presidential Election. Then Obama could spend his OWN $200 million per day on his way to the unemployment office.
11:43, these idiots don't want this information. DOn't you see they would rather form random opinions to support their fantasy world instead of allowing facts to dictate their reality.
What's he going there for? To check on all of the call center employees?
You people should really investigate before you believe the likes of Michele Bachmann and Rush Limbaugh. The trip isn't going to cost anywhere near this amount...this is a myth, perpetuated by people who can't help but to bash this President for everything that he does. You can't invent your own alternate reality just because you want something to complain about.
