That may explain it or maybe they are all going blind and can't see the numbers in front of them. Larger telepromters may be in order.Butchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617356024199023401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316774933262163695.post-64086480986278922562010-11-08T17:07:36.710-05:002010-11-08T17:07:36.710-05:00The cost of security for this trip is likely a lar...The cost of security for this trip is likely a large wild card not seen in your calculations, but still the $46 million estimate based on Clinton's travel seems a lot more realistic. <br /><br />Ever since I can remember, our Presidents have gotten flack for their travels and the rhetoric from this crop of Republicans is the most corrosive of all.<br /><br />India is a very important trading partner and more so in our future. The trip is most likely a good idea. There is just too much grumbling out there for sure. I'm with you on that.Theslowlane Robert Ashworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10082164332880198884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316774933262163695.post-29888852086317328382010-11-08T09:50:35.640-05:002010-11-08T09:50:35.640-05:00Nicely said Lou.

They lie, tell half truths and conceal or obfuscate the truth in order to further their ends - and in this case, their ends are the election of Conservative Republicans - people who would see the rich get richer and don't care if the poor get poorer. People who would see Obama defeated at every turn - because he's Obama - not because his policies are bad - not because he's a bad President - but because he's a BLACK man in the WHITE house. I challenge ANYBODY to prove to me that that isn't true. Karl Rove is a racist pig - and he, more than anyone else, lies behind Conservative policy.<br /><br />Whew. I had to get that off my chest.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024392628362568010noreply@blogger.com
