  Probably just like those people who deny that unions aren't up to their eyeballs playing in the political sandbox.
  Just like those people who deny that the upper levels of unions are having a pretty good life, while the average worker is striking on a company that is going bankrupt and losing their homes.
  
  
  Yeah... some people are so stupid...
• I Wear Pants

  Anyone who believed the $200 million a day thing or that there aren't corrupt things that go on with unions today is stupid.

  well if you dont like the way things are then you can move. your the one doing all the whining. and furthermore why dont you show me some proof of this 200 million a day venture. and the reason fox is #1 is because stupid people are fun to watch. maybe you can seek a job with them. it would make viewing more pleasurable.

  I really wanted avoid this, but for whatever reason I feel compelled to do it nonetheless.
  
  After you've established a firm handle on proper grammar, spelling, sentence structure and punctuation, it's my humble opinion that you'll be in a far more credible position to judge the stupidity of other people.

  it make me laugh that you would call anyone stupid. but then again that is what the truly stupid do. you are believing a story that was aired with no facts to back it up. but yet you believe it. do you also believe in the tooth fairy, easter bunny and santa claus? well if faux news said it was true , then i sure you would. now i know why your screen name is believer. because you believe anything.

  WTF are you talking about? I have NEVER argued anything with you at all on this thread until you started labeling people stupid just a few short posts ago. You are confusing me with someone else.

  knightryder,
  
  I think you have believer confused with me?
• KnightRyder

  

  the botton line here is that fox took a story that was a complete falsehood and ran with it. and why? because the knew their viewers would believe it. thats shoody irresponsible jouralism. comparable with the Star or any other super market tabloid. and how many poster here believe that nonsense? probably all those on right.

  Honestly, there's probably not one newspaper or news station who has not had to make some sort of retraction on a story that was reported wrong, misrepresented, misstated, etc. I don't know if FOX retracted or amended it or not, though.
• I Wear Pants

  While I think KnightRyder is over reacting here, I do believe that Fox could have easily realized this $200 million number wasn't real if it thought about it at all.
  
  Doesn't mean they did anything wrong or that other networks don't do too. Just sloppy.

  We really don't know for sure the 200 million number is not real until the government presents us with the factual real number. I have my doubts that it is that high. But I will be honest with you, in light of the unimaginable amount of dollars the federal government spends each year, it would not really surprise me if it was.
  
  The federal budget for 2010 calls for expenditures of $3.5 trillion. That would average out to about $9.5 billion/day. $200 million would be about 1/50 of the feds average daily expenditures. Considering the president takes maybe 2-3 of these type trips per year the cost would not even scratch the surface of the federal budget.
  
  Another thing these numbers are so grossly large it is hard for the human mind to grasp their significance. Our $3.5 trillion 2010 expenditures would reach the moon if stacked in dollar bills.

  In my opinion there is a reason why they are not releasing a total cost on this trip. The total cost is likely close enough to the $200 million figure to cost them politically. The details may justify the expense but for security purposes they can't release them now. Therefore they hope this blows over and they never have to release the details. If not they will release them when they can if they can justify them.
• majorspark

  

  This is what $1 trillion looks like in $100 bills stacked on pallets two high. See the red man on the left corner. Our 2010 federal budget calls for expenditures of 3.5 times this amount. Try to imagine 2 1/2 more on top of what you see below. This trip if it did cost $200 million would only amount to two of those skids of Ben Franklins.
  
  If we wanted to balance the 2010 budget, it would take eliminating what you see in the picture below plus about 17 skids. In other words were screwed. It will take some great leaders that can convince the American people that they need to endure major sacrifices for their children's future to right the ship.
  
  God save the republic.

  Majorspark, the $200 million dollar was supposedly per day. That's not real and you know it. They've said it isn't real too.

  I know it is per day. Like I said I doubt it was that high. But until I see these ultra low frugal numbers, I will assume there is a lot of waste and overexpense. Par for the course when it comes to the government. Likely the reason why they will not release a total number.

  LOL. The government says a lot of things that are not true. The government also said there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
• I Wear Pants

  What makes you think that this trip is any more expensive than past presidential trips?
  
  What I mean is that you probably wouldn't even be saying anything if it weren't for the ridiculous $200 million claim.
  
  And before you go "well why don't they just tell us", have they ever made it a habit to do that during/right after presidential trips? Did we hear the exact cost of all of Bush's, and Clinton's trips during or directly after?
• CenterBHSFan

  

  Pants, why does it bother you that people are starting to question things?
  I'd much rather have people question the government than to stay comatose in the status quo.
  
  And, I don't think it has so much to do with Obama as it does with government in general. President Obama just happens to be at the wrong job at the wrong time. Any President would be getting 7 kinds of hell right now, there's just no escaping it.
• I Wear Pants

  It doesn't that they are questioning things. Just that I don't see the issue with this trip because right now I can only logically assume that it costs about the same as any trip. And it's actually a worthwhile one.
  
  If we want to question and bitch about things that don't need done we need to look at the NYC Airforce One skyline photo ops and the Fly in photo ops on aircraft carriers. Those cost money and don't really do anything.

  its not up to the goverment to present anything. the burden of proof is on the accuser. and what proof has the accuser provided?
