Obamas Party Down in Mumbai While America Suffers (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, November 7, 2010, 12:48 PM
It’s nice to know they’re enjoying themselves blowing hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars in India while America suffers.
The Obamas are having a grand time in India.
NDTV reported:
US first couple Barack and Michelle Obama hit the dance floor to a foot-tapping Marathi folk number, joining a group of students at the Holy Name school to participate in symbolic Diwali festivities.
The US President and the First Lady’s engagement for the day started at the Holy Name High School in upmarket Colaba locality in south Mumbai where a group of students entertained them with a cultural extravaganza.
The Obamas, who lit a lamp to mark the celebrations, were greeted by the students in traditional Indian attire as they interacted with the children, shaking hands and posing for pictures. The students were seen gleefully clicking the couple’s photos using cellphone cameras.
The Obamas are bringing 250 U.S. executives including GE chief Jeffrey Immelt and Honeywell’s David Cote, which the U.S. India Business Council says is the largest such delegation to ever accompany a president on a foreign visit. The presidents of six universities, including Georgetown and Duke, are also set to come.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Americans are suffering…
Barack Obama is the worst jobs president since the Great Depression and possibly is the worst jobs president in US History.

They wanted to fundamentally change America. They did.
The US unemployment rate has not fallen below 9.0% for over a year now. This is unprecedented.
But, Michelle and Barack are having fun in India.
That’s important.

So Opie can kiss Muzztard ass, thats what Joanne.
Obama is a f@#king disgrace.
Remember the auto execs getting ripped for using their jets??
Obama is a whole new level of narcissist.

Hopefully the partiers in chief will just stay over there and never come back

Since they seem to like them so much, they can keep them! We’ll PAY them.

If Obama gets the support I think he will for his reelection attempt…it will be criminal.
For any liberal to support this guy would be a damn shame.

I want to know who told FLOTUS that dress is flattering.
I can’t help it. I keep thinking about Laura and Barbara Bush and Nancy Regan. Always understated and well dressed.

Yeah, he’s over there putting pressure on India to make nice with his buddies in Pakistan. . . . . yup, the veritable messiah he is
sandy commented:
This trip is another in your face move by the guy who personally destroyed the Democratic Party just a couple of days ago. To Americans who are suffering because of his policies he says SCREW YOU. AS LONG AS I HAVE THIS GIG I AM GOING TO LIVE LIKE A KING.
sandy commented:
Joel #7 — Obama won’t get the support of ordinary Democrats. In this last election 36% of Democrats who were against Obama’s agenda supported Republicans. Can’t see why it won’t be 75% in the Presidential election.
Paddy commented:
Of course those 250 rent seeking CEOs paid their own way. No? How come?
Scott commented:
Let Jeff Immelt try to sell his green horse$hit to India…They already said that they have no intention of signing Kyoto, Copenhagen or any other international carbon capping schemes…Meanwhile, Immelt and Obama will continue to try and sell Cap and Trade here at home…Billions to GE and billions to the Federal government. All paid for by consumers and taxpayers…Fraud on a global scale.
kate commented:
Reparations.
Everything is owed them.
They are the most graceless individuals ever to blight the People’s House.
However, if their shenanigans deliver us from the creeping socialism of the last century, they are owed a debt of gratitude.
Scott commented:
Where’s the horny poodle Gore??? Surely, he will fly his Gulfstream jet over for a cocktail hour with Hussein and Immelt…The three biggest frauds in modern history.
jainphx commented:
He will get the support of all the ballot cheats and stuffers. I haven’t posted since the election because I was just sick at the amount of cheating and openly tries at stealing. Ballots found,all for Demoncraps! Ballots found floating in the bay. Ballots supposedly not counted in three early voting stations, all for Demoncraps. WHY DO WE SIT STILL for this. Reid steals an election and our side says oh well. We turn out in great numbers and still they find ways. I’m just sick that we do nothing about it on any level.

Squeaky— The depression that was started by an Elitest President in Hoover, but made longer and deeper by a Communist President in Roosevelt. The great depression was avoidable and yet measures to avoid it were laughed at. With the vote on the second, we may have just dodged a bullet. The vote should have been bigger and better, but seats were stolen and jammed down our throats.

The Elector of Saxony commented:
Opie is just over there exporting the jobs that are left after his anti-business economic policies and the importation of slave voters…I mean labor from Mexico.
We need a jobs revolt in this country. Both parties are trying to import workers to displace you and trying to ship jobs overseas to pump the value of their holdings. If the current policies continue apace, Mexico will be empty, India will have our middle class, and unemployment will be permanently at 30%.
I want to see someone in Congress holding a summit on the capitol steps asking “Why is the President over in India while millions of Americans can’t find a job?” If I were in Congress, I’d be in a tent in Times Square with staff, constituents, and inviting the media to ignore me as I ask that question through a bullhorn. Yeah, the cops would have to drag me away in handcuffs. Bet the media would cover that.

Let’s see, the Obama’s are partying it up for Diwali, an Indian Hindu festival, so they have the time and inclination to observe OTHER nations’ traditions.
What’s Commander-in-Chief Obama doing for the American traditional remembrance of Veterans’ Day?
Counting the travel days, is it correct he will be OUT of the COUNTRY?

Hester commented:
These disgusting attacks on Michelle Obama in the comments are low class. Why on earth do you need to get personal?
Chisum commented:
Obviously, Hester, we’ve dinged your bell.
Hester, was it a “disgusting attack” when the press and others cooed over Michelle’s clothes, shoes, boob belts, toned upper arms, her hairstyles, jewelry, her fashion sense? Isn’t that rather personal?
We’ve had the meme shoved down our throats that Michelle is the most beautiful woman in the world when obviously she is not!
So, unless we are cooingly commenting on Michelle’s appearance, it’s a “disgusting attack”.
Sorry Hester, you don’t get to make the rules any more.
Hester commented:
“We’ve had the meme shoved down our throats that Michelle is the most beautiful woman in the world when obviously she is not!”
According to you???? Even if there are those who think she is beautiful, fashionable, etc., why on earth should that bother YOU? Bother you so much, in fact, that you and others here post personal attacks. Take a cue from the Bushes. Always classy.
Make it about policies, not personal.

Hester, it doesn’t get any more personal than what the O’s have said and done to our country. It’s all personsl, dear.
Chisum commented:
Heather,
So you get to decide what is acceptable “personal” and what’s not?
You’re allowed to have an opinion and only those that agree with you can have one as well?
Ding Dong. Hear the bell?
Hester commented:
As far as the subject of this post: The president is in India making deals that will help Americans. He is living it up dancing with school kids of India…as any gracious U.S. president would do while in India. George Bush paved the way for a closer alliance with India and Obama unwisely let it fall by the wayside….until now. He has finally wised up to how important India is as an ally. Took him a while, but he’s learning.
On Day 1 of India visit, Obama showcases trade deals with US firms
“President Obama visited Mumbai, India, Saturday and made a forceful case for free trade. He announced deals totaling nearly $10 billion in new US exports that are expected to create 50,000 new jobs.”

Hester commented:
“So you get to decide what is acceptable “personal” and what’s not?”
“You’re allowed to have an opinion and only those that agree with you can have one as well?:
Allowed? Decide? I have expressed an opinion, just as you have. I disagree with your opinions. So you get to decide that I cannot disagree with YOU? Please do not waste time playing games like this. As you can see, the argument can be turned right back at you. Nobody said anything about you not being “allowed”.
USMC Thomas commented:
Hester AKA Court Jester.
Chisum commented:
Okay, let’s talk about Michelle’s war on food to prevent obesity policy.
You don’t think that’s a tad hypocritical considering her size?
How about her talking about her daughters getting fat? So we shouldn’t point out how much weight Michelle has gained?
Ding Dong. The bell tolls for thee.
Chisum commented:
Nobody said anything about you not being “allowed”.
=======================
Semantics, the last refuge of the left.
Ding Dong.
USMC Thomas commented:
Bleeding heart liberals thought voting for SOBama would assuage their white guilt and bolster their smug superior racial virtue. They now have difficulty recognizing the fact they were played like CHUMPS.
sandy commented:
Its kind of like this 2 billion dollar vacation while the rest of us are told to sacrifice. Barack and Michelle eat any old crap they like while the rest of us are told there will be laws to stop us from eating what we like.
No wonder Americans are tuning out Obama in droves — if a leader is going to set the standards he should be the first to follow them.
Practical Jane commented:
You realize the reported cost of this little jaunt is MORE than the 700 Billion Obama insists on taking from Americans on January 1st.
Did he pass math? Oh, that’s right – we don’t know….
ThisSiteIsAwful commented:
You might want to check your facts occasionally, something that would make you a more reliable source than FOX News. That $200 million per day figure was made up; it’s not true. Why does the conservative media feel comfortable running wild with stories that fit their narrative without ever checking the facts?
pesto commented:
You are welcome to visit another blog if you dislike this one. I suggest DU or Daily Kos. I’m sure you’ll enjoy their lies.
JPLives commented:
I used to subscribe to First Things because it was thoughtful and helped me understand how to be a better Christian. Now I find so much hatred and false witness here! Thank God the Obamas show that there are decent, warm human beings left in this country. You wouldn’t know it from some of the vipers populating this site. The post itself lies about the cost of this trip and about unemployment. The source of the author’s own data shows that the unemployment rate was over 9 percent for 19 months straight during the reign of St. Reagan. Hardly “unprecedented.”
Judy commented:
do you guys not read…this trip does not cost more than the afghan war per day..that is crazy. this is a false story….please use your common sense….don’t let your dislike for obama cloud your judgement…
Mike Ross commented:
It took 58 replies before someone from another website came here to point out the conservative lie about the cost of the trip. Seriously, I’d enjoy having debates with conservatives if they actually used facts and data that were actually true.
AuntieMadder commented:
That conservatives made up the $200,000,000 per day figure is a lie made up by libtards. Libtards who keep repeating that lie about conservatives are, themselves, the liars. (Stating the obvious: Libtards are liars. The sky is blue.)
The $200,000,000 per day figure for this trip wasn’t made up by conservatives. It was from these two news sources in India that the figure was picked up by news sources in the US, and then read by conservatives.

Had Prezdint Jackass or his fatboy Gibbsy informed and reported on this latest prezdintule boondoggle, other than short statements that the prez was to visit India in Nov and that he’d not visit the Hindu place of worship, then the news out of India wouldn’t have been THE news about this trip. Even now, in fact, Prezdint Jackass’s people still haven’t reported the cost of this trip to the people paying for it. They simply stated that the $200million per day figure is “grossly exaggerated” and, like the morons they and you libtards have convinced yourselves that conservatives are, we’re supposed to respond with “Duhrrrr…okay” and leave it at that. Hell, we didn’t even know until the evening after it was held that there was a US-India business summit taking place in Mumbai and was attended by Prezdint Jackass and 200 to 250 US business leaders. Why the secrecy? Does the Indian press know something we don’t? Could it be that the taxpayers picked up the tab for the entire summit, including travel, accommodation, and security expenses for the summit delegates/attendees and their support people and spouses, too? We may never know.
Be that as it may, the fact remains that it’s those of you who say the figure is a lie made up by conservatives who are lying. Liars.
The hypocrisy of libtards knows no bounds.
AuntieMadder commented:
Hester #45 – Respect is earned. I owe it to her to refer to her by the title of First Wookie. She’s earned it.
Chisum commented:
Auntie Madder,
You are absolutely right! Interestingly enough, The Times of India, in an article titled “Yobama!, God’s truth, the city was glad to see him go.”, dated today contains this:
And while Obama’s visit might cost the US taxpayer $200 million a day, it is the poor common man in Mumbai who felt the pinch most…
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/people/Yobama/articleshow/6883686.cms#ixzz14cSOVznN
====================
I suppose that’s the conservatives’ fault, too!
Practical Jane commented:
The cost is a lie… Michelle is beautiful…
I wonder where liberals get their glasses!!
AuntieMadder commented:
Thanks for the link, Chisum.
So, Prezdent Jackass chose to visit to India on the day of what is traditionally a major holiday for Hindus, as important in their country as Christmas day is in ours. And because of his visiting on that day, their city of Mumbai was paralyzed by heavy traffic, roadblocks and closed roads, extremely heavy presence of US military and Secret Service. Basically, what he did to New York City on date night with his wookie, he did to Mumbai, except on a larger scale and, as an added pain in their @$$, on Mumbai’s major religious holiday. If it weren’t a fact that he’s one of Rev Wright’s KKKristians [wink nudge], I’d swear he selected the date intentionally, like the Grinch who stole Diwali.
