Obama's Africa Trip Could Cost $100 Million,// Is That Sick?

Think on the bright side, They may want to keep him. All we have to do is

say OK.

Economy 101 you need to SPEND money to get, and keep an economy going, so no it's not sick, if only big business followed his example, and INVEST in something/anything.

Because the cutbacks, and layoffs, are all because the CEO's, and Managements(big-business) have chosen to stock-pile money instead of invest it in the companies, or work-force.(has gone from 20-25%, to only 2% since 2008).

This is not a crisis because of the lack of money, it's a re-distribution of wealth.(banks have paid a record in bonus money in 2012)

There should be outrage to how so much military expenditure is spent? Tens of trillions of dollars wasted on military, primarily when there is not any conflict happening. That may be a shame. Rather we combat the poor, instead of curing the poverty

What is sick about it ?

You could say that GW Bush was sick because he invaded Iraq, which didn't just cost the USA trillions of dollars, but thousands of US lives, and more than 200,000 Iraqi's as well.

Sometimes you gotta put things in perspective.

Having a president is always expensive !

I do hope He stays there and moves back in with his Tribe

Yes Sick is the Word! but since the Nat. Debt is over 17 Trillion now, Iguess it doesnt really matter much any more

not if he decides to stay. then it would be worth the price.

I assume you think a President should not do the job he or she was elected to do, if it costs money. Diplomacy is actually a pretty important government function.

Where did you get that figure from?

Don't look now, but your partisan hatred is showing again.

He is a liberal. He has no concept of money. I am starting to think he works for the Islamic terrorists!

What about the possible return as $1 billion. There are rich resource in Africa. Please consider the idea of ROI - the return of investment.
