Sorry Red, this is just another self referential "fact" created from whole cloth by the RWN blogosphere, radio shows and television network. It sprang from Matt Drudge's fevered mind as he ignored the simple fact that the story from India stated the cost, not in dollars, but Indian Rupees. Nor is 10% of the US Navy, let alone nearly 50% of the Pacific Fleet going to escort the President to India.

And you along with the rest of your factually challenged, willfully ignorant fellow travelers, fall for it every time.

But, hey Red...You found it on the internet, so it must be true!



I found it on the internet, so it MUST be real!
Hey Bully, you found THIS at Media Matters, so you wish to call it definitive?

When Media Matters asked about the report, White House spokesman Matt Lehrich responded, "The numbers reported in this article have no basis in reality. Due to security concerns, we are unable to outline details associated with security procedures and costs, but it's safe to say these numbers are wildly inflated."
Of course the White House non-answer beats all else, especially with the greased title. LOL!
