I know that all presidents travel, and it costs lots of cake to orchestrate these trips. It's just that this timing is so piss poor....

Claim that Barack Obama's India visit will cost $200m a day is 'wildly inflated' | World news | The Guardian

Why should the White House announced how much it costs to protect the president? For what it's worth, a very similiar trip taken by Bill Clinton costs about $5.2 mil per day. This trip will probably cost the same seeing that Obama is travelling to less countries and this trip is a day shorter than Clinton's.

But what's so wrong about the timing?
