I said from the outset that the number made no sense to me but was reported by an Indian news agency who so far as I can tell has not printed a retraction. What I think is really sad is that with the Messiah, people could actually believe it was true. And bear in mind I am just conjecturing about the rupee versus dollar mixup for no other reason than that number makes more sense. I just wish the WH would put an end to this and tell us what the trip is actually costing.
As for the Popemobile suggestion I am sure the Holy Father, out of Christian charity would be glad to help. The real question is whether Obama could get his head inside.......we know his ego would never fit. :-)
