With our royal family, anything is possible as long as they have us peons to pay for it. Only a few more hours and things will start to change for king Obama.

Sounds above average for a presidential trip but not by a whole lot. Fran

Can it be true? On right wing radio and Fox News.
But in the real world, not so much.
Find the source of the info and the answer to your question is clear.

I am really sick of hearing this Fox News Bullshit! I haven't heard a word of it on Fox. 7 million people watched Fox News Tues. night. The next best was CNN at 3 million. Why do you think that is? It's certainly not because Fox is spreading BS.

Curt I read the article on Fox. They didn't offer any support other than saying it comes from the Indian media. I'd like to hear from at least another source. Preferably one that isn't trying to sell me a blueberry squishy or fix my computer. lol

I'm tired of this Fox News bullshit, too, but probably for different reasons, Curt. And I'm not sure viewership is the appropriate measuring stick for credibility. How many people listen to Beck, Savage, Hannity and Limbaugh? Those boys spew BS for a living and have millions of listeners and fans. That doesn't make them credible sources. And, Fox did carry the BS India trip story, although they acknowledged that the figures are disputed. A real "fair and balanced" news organization would not have led with the BS figures knowing they are BS. www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/11/04/security-entourage-earning-epic-reputation-ahead-obama-india-visit/matt

I prefer to get my news from Fox and as far as I am concerned they still are fairest and the most balanced. Perhaps it's because the truth sometimes hurts. That being said, I still don't trust the media much on any front.

Real easy fix here. Wasn't Obama going to be the transparent president? Maybe the WH should release some numbers so the rest of us don't have to guess.

Oh, but Obama is the transparent president. The American people can see right through him and his socialist agenda.

As usual, there are several of you who like Fox. Why...because they are honest...no, because they say what you want to hear. A story like this is shown to be bullshit and you guys still want to protect Fox...why ... because they say what you want the truth to be. Even after the sane and balanced people show the bull in the story... you still want to believe its true... and even though its a lie, you want to defend it because you still cling to some alternate universe where lies are truth and truths are lies.
The election is over, Republicans won. Now is the time to start making this a better country. The time to put differences aside and find some common ground and get something done for jobs and the economy. Time to stop pointing fingers and move forward.

As I said...you live in an alternate universe. The Dems tried to work with the minority and were stonewalled at every opportunity. Once again, Obama has naively reached out after the election, like he did when the Dems had a majority and gotten more of the same from Boehner, McConnell and the rest.
The mandate for making things better comes from Dems who demand their elected officials actually work. The Reps do not care what their Politicians do, just as long as they are elected. This time there should be some pressure for the Reps to do something, to find some common ground...but common ground does not seem to be what they want.

Demanding your agenda without compromise is not working with the other side. They deserved to be stonewalled. And the results of the election prove that the agenda Obama and the Dems pushed was not what their constituents wanted. Which they were told before they rammed obamacare through. But the Dems evidently have to 'work' even when they are selling wares no one wants...
Perhaps if the dems had listened to the obstinate, road-blocking republicans, many of them would still have their jobs, and Obama could be reaching across the aisle in truth instead of shoving an unwanted agenda down America's throat.

What part of "This is the way we're going to do it" is compromise? Obama has never compromised on anything and now all of a sudden it's "we have to work together" Yes we do have to work together only this time we will work together the way the Conservatives want to.
As the election fully demonstrated the majority of the U. S. doesn't want anything to do with the Liberal/Progressive agenda. Get used to it Charlie.

Personally I think you all live in an alternate universe. lol Seriously Charlie do you think the Democrats tried to compromise on anything? If they did I didn't see it. The Republicans will be no different. I'd like to know what the real Republican agenda is though, I don't buy their cow manure promises any more than I bought the Democrats promises two years ago.
That said I still think you die hard Republicans are off on your reasons that your party had such a strong showing last week. The way I look at it the people who think like you always vote republican, its the moderates who really decide the elections. While I'm sure some don't like the liberal agenda (why did they vote for them 2 years ago) I think the poor economy has more to do with their voting decision than anything else.
