The $2 billion Obama trip myth

[durbinpoison775]

Everyone says that 200 million a day is false but i have yet to hear the actual cost.I think it is close to 200 million a day maybe a little less but still way too much.

[pushycatpops]

@durbinpoison775 Go back to masturbating to Limbaugh, derrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[CasioBossaNova]

What a nut.... Michelle Bachmann has a rubber butt!

[cdrbreetai]

Americans are so dumb. They even believe that if they work hard enough, one day they can realize the "American Dream" too.

[cofpaddy]

Jesus the Americans go gung-ho on a rumour don't they

[MAJISTYGOD]

this racism agianst obama , jest shows that all white & non-black people in america are racist agianst black americans....

america is a racist democracy, agianst blacks

[Misterafyableism]

3 thousand people are traveling with him...and staying in 500 hotel rooms.

Thats like 6 people per room...

[gop59]

it's CNN they and they are biased! Michele Bachman is right.

They spend all of their time defending obama...

Why would CNN defend people wasting our tax dollars is the big question.

I guess they don't mind this. All Presidents wasted our money. And the sitting

president is the biggest spending man in the world! Maybe you don't mind it..but I don't like him spending my hard earned tax dollars on frivilous crap!

[Dacktyl]

Besides being greed-centered sociopaths, Repugs are utter bores... In the 1940's they spun a similar yarn about the Navy being mobilized to retrieve FDR's dog mistakenly left behind... They don't even try 2 come up with new lies. Soon all who voted for them like a chicken voting 4 Colonel Sanders will be forced 2 face the bitter reality that they have been played..as the Billionaires who pull the Repug strings disappear behind the walls of their gated communities 2 LAUGH at how easy it was.

[Lonewolfmike]

You wonder if Bachmann is some kind of robot they just program to say their talking points and just leave it at that. I swear she has nothing of value to say as far as policy or anything like that.

[mishanti2]

She is such a lying bitch and should just shut the hell up.

[97markviii]

I hate Michelle Bachmann. I feel ashamed she represents my district.

[lifeishooey]

It's the rebel's who tell the lies then get pissed when no one believes them.

Poor America, now her military is reduced to nothing more than presidential indulgence.

Liberal media is a joke and everyone is onto it.

[Emuticus]

@lifeishooey You know who else believed in strong nationalism, a pro-active foreign policy, and a huge military? Hitler.

That's right, Godwin's Law has been invoked, and rightfully so.

[KDirection]

@lifeishooey If 50 million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing. Let me rephrase that, if dozens of right wing pundits say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing.

[lifeishooey]

@KDirection And no one in the demoncratic party says OR does anything foolish, do they? And they all speak the gospel truth, don't they? Okkaaayyyyyyy!

[flutesong46]

@lifeishooey That's not the point. All politicians are liars, but this story goes WAY beyond just lying or distorting truth. This is a complete manufacture of a story for NO reason except to make the President look bad. As Mr. Cooper says, there are plenty of legitimate reasons to criticize and disagree with Obama. This however, is just a blatant attempt to assassinate his character because, Obama's good character is the one thing they can't attack honestly!!

[lifeishooey]

@flutesong46 But, it is the point. If it wasn't true then why did Obama feel the need to go off to India for a party, rent out the entire Taj Mahal Hotel with 500+ rooms, and even hired people to remove all the coconuts from every palm tree along the entire path he tread? The total has to be crap loads of our TAX dollars. Well, maybe you'll express concerns when Obama's decisions start effecting you on a personal level such as expiration of Bush tax cuts, cap and trade. Or, maybe not

[flutesong46]

@lifeishooey Obama did NOT go to India for a party. He did NOT rent out the entire TajMahal hotel. This was a completely made up story. THAT is the point. That Bachman, Beck, et al are making up crap that is completely false, just to undermine Obama. As I said before. Attack the man for his policies if you don't like them. Or attack him for something he actually said or did. Don't make up a fake story. That's not only reprehensible, it shows you to be a fool.

[GloriaLynn23]

And at no time has she EVER apologized or said she was mistaken for spreading this false rumor.

Bachmann & the rest of that right wing bunch have fooled so many people with their lies, as soon as I had heard about this story, I checked it out and knew immediately it was just more lies from the right.

[MrMarkbad]

This woman is such an idiot.

[Cypress77]

I have a crush on Anderson Cooper, and I'm not even gay.

[kellyelainewright61]

Yes ,and CNN is the paragon of virtue , and the Dems NEVER lie...........

[rightnearthebeachboy]

@kellyelainewright61 Everyone lies... but FOX news blatantly lies to spread fear. And idiots are so scared and delusional, that they'll believe these people. You can't be a serious news station and have Sean, glenn, rush etc. do ANYTHING at anytime during the program. It's like watching a movie that is about a true story and then half way through the muppet babies start ranting about jack and the beanstalk.

[kellyelainewright61]

@rightnearthebeachboy Practically EVERTHING on TV is nothing but propaganda . I think they all lie .CNN included I go to OTHER sources for ACCURATE info . Suppressed info .I only watch the alphabet channels to see how much they lie,& suppress info .

[KDirection]

@kellyelainewright61 Everyone lies, the difference lies in the fact that most educated Democrats acknowledge when they make a mistake, whereas most Republicans, whether educated or not, refuse to consider anything that opposes their viewpoint. Sounds kind of like extremism doesn't it? Your reply will be highly predictable and entertaining.

[kellyelainewright61]

@KDirection Don't U know that both sides are corrupt ? U cannot honestly think only Rep R corrupt ,u can't be that naive ? Or can u ? If this is what you think I suggest you check the history of the democratic party . Let me suggest a video that is very informative it's called . "Black History Month " by a channel called Black & Right . OK ?

[humaner]

Silly Republicans...did anyone really vote for these buffoons.?

[sharam7]

hey guys. I am an indian. This false report was started by a junk newspaper called "times of india" which is literally the "fox news" of india.

[tommyd0701]

Thumps up to Anderson for unveiling the lies about the cost of Obama Asia trip.

[emantabrizi]

My country actually voted to give these morons control of the House of Representatives? Really? How embarrassing!

[hanksnow82]

I notice they never even give a ball park fiqure of what the trip is going to cost 100 million a day ?

[KDirection]

@hanksnow82 I'm guessing they don't teach you to make educated guesses where you're from.

[hanksnow82]

@KDirection Keep getting your news and world view from a closet homosexual on CNN . When you move out into the real world and get out of your mommys basement let me know .

[frwgt350net]

Anderson you so smart, we need you

[RoyRolling]

The saddest thing is that misinformed nursing home executive-turned-federal "leader" is a decision-maker in Congress. You would think she would at least become knowledgable instead of accepting and regurgitating whatever suits her political whims.

[WikeddTung]

i would love to give ms. bachman a thorough ear cleaning with an icepick, rush limbaugh a colonoscopy with a broomstick and glen beck, a tonsillectomy with my fist.

[SmittyNmo]

@WikeddTung Bingo!!!! The fact that the reps spread all these lies and bs, is absurd. They are such idiots. And they've been doing it for years. And now they have control of the house? OMG, are we in for a rough time in the next 2-4 years. Why anyone would vote for them is pure stupidity. This country has truly lost it.

[hawklord2001]

@SmittyNmo "They are such idiots

On the contrary I think they know exactly what they are doing. They may be ignorant but I don't think they are idiots.

[iamaliberal]

@WikeddTung stop sucking on bush's cock

[WikeddTung]

@iamaliberal when you stop sucking on mine cunt

[iamaliberal]

@WikeddTung stop sucking on bush's cock

[dizzymasekela]

I read somewhere that Michelle Bachman rapes little babies and burns Jewish grandmothers. I read it, so it has to be true.

[SmittyNmo]

@dizzymasekela OMG yes, it has to be true. But in this case, they couldn't have possibly read it, or they would have found it not true. Some right wingnut made it up. And of course we know how good the RW is at spreading bs lies.
