Obama Travels like a king

This story is about the president’s trip to India and other Asian countries. The article talks of claims that the trip was costing the American taxpayers around 200 million dollars a day, for the president and his wife to take this trip. The details were not given from the white house as to how much the trip is costing according to them. They claimed to not be able to talk about it due to the security concerns.

The part of this story that concerns me the most is why the hell is our president and first lady taking another trip. Yea I know they are saying that it is to improve relations with India and to improve economic trade with these countries. This is ridicules though because we have foreign diplomats that do just that and it doesn’t take this kind of money for them to go there. To me it appears that the president and his wife are taking a grand vacation full of pomp and circumstance on our dime. Even if the figures were not actually that close to the real amount I’m sure it did cost way too much. All this at a time when our unemployment numbers are hovering around ten percent. There are people in this country that can’t afford to go to the grocery store and he’s out living it up like some king. It disgusts me that this administration has absolutely no clue how the American people feel. We are sick of his policies, sick of his lack of attention, and sick of his foreign relations with these countries. I don’t imagine Obama will win a second term as president unless he makes some real turn around in the next two years but I don’t see that happening. He is too arrogant and doesn’t believe that he has done anything wrong.
