Yesterday the Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives in an election tsunami that some are calling the biggest Democratic losses in 62 years.
It’s a good thing U.S. President Barack Obama rescheduled his Mumbai, Indonesia trip until after the midterm elections, or the Democratic losses would have been much worse.
You already know about the 40 commercial airliners and private jets that will transport Mr. and Mrs. Obama and an entourage of hundreds to Mumbai, India next week.
Well, now comes word that the Mumbai trip, where Obama plans to speak at a Muslim mosque, will cost Americans $200 million per day!!
I’m sure the thousands of unemployed Americans who are set to lose their benefits next month will appreciate this news.
Mr. Obama rescheduled this trip to Indonesia twice from earlier this year, due to the political climate in america, which angered the people of Indonesia where Obama spent his boyhood studying the Qu’Ran. (Besides his native English, Obama speaks fluent Indonesian.)
You’ll be happy to know that your $200 million per day will be spent on “security, hotel stay and other aspects of the Presidential visit,” according to a top government official. The Obama administration has booked all 300 rooms in Mumbai’s 5-star hotel.
In addition to the extra security flown over from the mainland, U.S. and Indian Navy ships will patrol the waters off Mumbai, to provide additional security, reports said.
