Obama's Mumbai Visit to Cost US $200 Mil Per Day
2010-11-02
President Barack Obama's visit to Mumbai will cost the US a whopping $200 million per day. Around 3000 people, including government officials, Secret Service agents, and journalists, will accompany Obama. Several White House officials and US security personnel are there already with a ship, helicopters, and high quality security instuments.

#3  How long are they planning to stay?

5 days = 1 BILLION USD.

That's equivalent to the ave income of 25,000 Americans for a year.

Where is the disgust?

#2  Because he brings his whole "entourage".
a two way commercial flight 1st class $3029. A total trip for that long could not cost me more than $5,000.

$200 Million a day? His life's work is not worth a penny.
