That article, which has already been posted I believe, provides no source links to back up the $200 million claim.
I'll ask you as I asked rgcraig, you honestly think the trip is going to cost over $1 billion? Seriously? You can say that with a straight face? lol
I notice you still refuse to provide facts or numbers. Stubborn eh?
Of course all air space is cleared before and after landing and the same for take off. We have military boats positioned offshore and the areas around the hotels and palace must be swept. Thousands of Indians are also hard at work. ID's for all kinds of people have to be checked out.
Just the business disruption in the areas is scores of millions.

Twisp has no facts. Just emotional appeals.
I've already answered this. The complete lack of facts point to it being false.
this is strange. I heard Mike Huckabee talk about this last night. then I saw it on the internet today
Daily Mail reported it and I know Ron Paul's website has it.... and wattsupwiththat has a link as well but there is nothing on any of the major news outlets.
interesting.

I'm skeptical, because I can't imagine how you can possibly spend $200,000,000.00/day, no matter how big your entourage is.
Really? I could believe $200,000.00. Maybe. But $200 mil? That's a gargantuan number, and one that I don't believe.

White House debunks "wildly inflated" $200M-per-day price tag for Obama's India trip
November 03, 2010 4:31 pm ET by Sarah Pavlus
According to a White House spokesman, the claim -- circulated by Rush Limbaugh and the Drudge Report -- that President Obama's November trip to India will cost the U.S. $200 million per day has "no basis in reality."
In a November 2 article headlined, "US to spend $200 mn a day on Obama's Mumbai visit," the Press Trust of India reported:
