Barack Obama's Trip to India Is Not Going to Cost $200 Million a Day


snip

President Obama's upcoming trip to India won't cost $200 million a day, and "34 warships" aren't accompanying him to the subcontinent. But it doesn't matter! It's already the hot new right-wing anti-Obama rumor.

If you haven't received any emails from your Uncle Rick lately, you may not be up on the latest in "weird shit that conservatives believe," which is too bad, because this latest one is a doozy: Did you know that President Obama's trip to India will cost $200 million dollars per day, and that he'll rent out 870 rooms and take 3,000 people with him, and he'll have an entourage of 34 "warships" (No, really! Warships!) and eat a billion sandwiches and get room service every night and ride a horse with eight legs and his dad will buy him a race car, all at the taxpayer's expense?

3. I don't believe you.
Rush said it because Beck reported it.

Beck reported it because Bachmann uncovered it.

Bachmann uncovered it on the sekrit interwebz.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET U FREE!!!

5. It doesn't matter how many say it isn't true.
Everyone in freeperville now believes it and will tell the tale until the day they die.
