Michelle Bachman is paying 50 million dollars a day for cosmetics!

If you read the story you'd know who the source was, well generally so, and where the story originated. However, I listened to Beck just to see if what you were saying was true (we get him on delay here). He did notice that the other reporters laughed at the guy asking the questions, but he never reported the "truth" of 200 Million per day rubbish. I suspect you are going off of a report from an unnamed source on liberalblogspotsrus.dem and not actual information of something that you actually heard.

Here's the scoop from Poitifact:


The $200million a day number "came from just one source, a news agency in India, relying on an anonymous source. It was then repeated thousands more times in the blogosphere and over conservative airwaves."

NO proof...NO evidence...just the same old "anonymous source" the Right always cites to back their claims

So nice to see you've dropped the hatred and vitriol and are ready to debate the topics once again.

But sadly, we see that any requests for proof are met with the same old petty disloyal.

My fault...I thought you had changed...my mistake!

I'm sorry Zap but you don't think journalists, commentators etc. of all politics stripes use anonymous sources? Not quite sure how you come to the conclusion that only one group of people use them.

How many stories do you think I would find with an "anonymous" source that trashed Bush back in the day? Seriously. Either you have no idea what you are talking about or you've gone completely into drinking the bathwater rather than just carrying it.

I don't know...how many would you find?

And would you just accept them whole cloth as you've done with this latest "fact"?

Seriously, either you're a bigger idiot than I thought or you're making a conscious effort at being a douchebag.

Even if I did, which I don't remember a fuss being made about Bush spending billions on a trip, you can site me a reference if I'm wrong....but be that as it may...it doesn't change my point one bit. It's just more stupid mud slinging.

I remember us commenting on his being on vacation all the time, but other than the ranch, where did he go? He couldn't travel aboard much, he was afraid he would be arrested! he he!

Almost every story against him had an "anonymous" source "in the Administration". I'd find quite a few.

And it really depends on the paper, although "anonymous' some of them work at verifying their sources.

Just saying, "the source was anonymous," isn't an argument. It is foolishness.

Better question, is the trip worth the cost? They won't disclose the cost or the operation till after the fact because of the security needed, they don't tell what kind of guns they will have at the ready! and they probably don't need as much security as when Bush traveled aboard, but this is just my speculation and nothing more.

I mentioned on another thread about looking for the numbers on Clinton's and bush's trips to India and couldn't find anything. So if it wasn't important then, why is it important now?

He was heckled and demonstrated against on his India trip. That's our bush, a uniter, not a divider.

However it still doesn't answer the question, how much is the full price of the trip?

Good LORD - what a BS, partisan hack question to ask.

No concern whatsoever about the misinformation that has taken the country like wildfire? All it does is make you suspicious of how much they "really spent"?

Methinks the opposite would bother you if it was about an "R" instead of a "D." But that's just what methinks.
 
I can't claim to have been following the ins and, indeed, the outs of this thread but the price of this trip does seem to be some sort of issue.

I suppose the cost of transporting any American President around the world to meet other Presidents, Kings, Queens, Prime Ministers and other Grand Pamjandrums does reach quite stratospheric numbers.

I can't quite work out why an American President would want to spend all that money visiting somewhere like India, with it's massive growing economy and a surplus of cash waiting to be invested in some foreign land.

Proof , if proof were needed, that Obama is a fucking idiot.

Were either of those trips funded when the economy was so far in the hole?

Jeebus, Obama is already being protested against in Indonesia (a portion of his trip is there), does this mean he is just as much a "uniter" as Bush?
