Haha, just kidding. What I meant to say is that some people are fucking retarded.
Basically, Republicans Mike Huckabee and Michele Bachman went on cable news networks claiming that Obama was set to spend 200 million per day on his trip to India. It turns out they got that number from Glenn Beck, who seems to have gotten it from the Drudge Report, which got it from the Press Trust of India, who quoted an anonymous Indian official. Needless to say it's all bullshit.
You know, at first I was mad at Huckabee and Bachman for repeating such stupid claims, but I think the problem really lies with the whole "agree with me or die!" atmosphere in politics right now.
