You really think it would cost a dollar less per day if President McCain were visiting Mumbai?

It seems unfair to charge the President for the entire Navy and Air Force, for just one day's use. Can't we get some kind of pro-rated deal?

Why visit in the first place?

Presidents make state visits to foreign countries, it's part of the job these days. McCain would be doing the same. And not counting the cost.

But what is the purpose of THIS visit? India is already an ally. Who is he bowing to?

This sort of waste makes my Scottish heart ill when I consider the good the money could be doing for other purposes.

Go Alone! Nigga!ho!

It is reported that there will be 3,000 people in the presidential entourage. He’ll be gone nine days and the trip also includes stops in Indonesia, South Korea, and Japan.

The costs of presidential travel are hard to peg because certain details are understandably not made public. But I’ve looked for some comparisons. According to this McClatchy report, President Clinton made a multi-country trip to Asia in 2000. ABC estimated the total cost of the trip (not per day; the whole thing) to be $50 million.

A few questions arise: Can this exorbitant $200M/day price tag be true? How does it stack up against comparable trips by other presidents? And is it really necessary? I’m not suggesting that the president shouldn’t travel. But he’s our representative, not our ruler — and he happens to be a representative notorious for scolding CEOs over their use of of private jets for pleasure trips to Vegas and the Super Bowl. Assuming the reported price tag for the president’s trip is true (and I hope it’s not), is this sort of extravagance really necessary? It seems gross.

You have no idea if Mumbai would be a McCain priority or not.

McCain would be making state visits to some places, is the point. What difference if he visited Mumbai or London or Shanghai or Bogota? It would cost roughly the same money, and the money would be a negligible fraction of the federal budget, as now.

I remember Bush making a lot of state visits to our allies in Europe, and not to bow to them. It's just something heads of state do.

This is a country where people live on less than $2 per day.

Obozo's whimsical jaunt would support 100,000,000 natives every day that He and Cowbelle are there.

Really sad. Especially considering no one in India even likes muslims.
