SO HOW MUCH WILL OBAMA'S INDONESIA TRIP COST?

The Press Trust of India reported that Barack Obama's trip to Indonesia will cost $200 Million per day, which would put the overall cost of the trip at right around $1 Billion. The timing of the trip couldn't be worse in light of the recent election results, which were the equivalent of a complete and total rejection of Obama's policies, which include rampant spending. Let's see, the trip includes 40 planes, 34 war ships, 3000 people in tow, rooms at the Taj Mahal, and the construction of an underground tunnel so Obama can safely make his way to Ghandi's museum.

Oh, and let's not forget to include the cost of cutting down all of the coconuts from trees underneath which Obama is scheduled to walk.

$200 Million a day sounds about right, doesn't it? Not according to the White House. They are debunking that figure. Only there's a slight problem. They refuse to tell the public how much the trip WILL cost.

Via Fox News:

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs dismissed reports by Press Trust of India that President Barack Obama's trip to Mumbai and Indonesia would cost the U.S. $200 million per day.

During Thursday's briefing, Gibbs stated that this report was "simply not true."

While Gibbs maintained that he would not go into the actual figure of what it costs to move the president from one country to another, he did state the costs are no more then what it took to travel former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W Bush.

How's that for transparency?
