Well we had a visit from your president during a NATO summit meeting, we supplied 9500 police, he bought 2000 security men with him, There were 100 peaceful protestors.
The security cost to the British taxpayer was £50,000,000 that's about $75,000,000 and a good time was had by all..
Nothing was decided which according to the polititions, was a good thing and the summit meeting was a great success..
And there was me thinking that Britain was short of money..
My thinking is that it was very badly planned, with a little thought and no extra money they could have provided a Drifter rally with you lot getting a free trip with your bikes to Wales.

Too bad you couldn't have kept him...
You beat me to it Greenbarn!
I would have to say "Ditto"!
I second that!
At 75 million dollars for four days we can't afford to keep him..
I wonder how much Bill Clinton would have cost us..We could have fixed him up with a fat Welsh girl..

Can I ask a really dumb a$$ question and not get hammered for it?
ok no one said no so here it is......
if everyone says bad things about the present President, and express their dislike for him, then who voted him into office?
Mitt Romney explained it this way, and then got hammered in the press for it...47% of the people living here (not necessarily citizens see "Chicago Politics") want something for nothing, and think they deserve what the other 53% make. If we had a voter turn out like they just did in Scotland, he never would have made it into office, much less out of Chicago... Personally, I only know of 1 person who voted for him, but she only did it the first time...learned from her mistake. Part of the problem is the oppositions reliance on lame candidates...I really hope that they find someone who stands up for this country, instead of what they fielded last two elections. I would vote for Rick Perry...
I agree with everything he just said. Also massive voter fraud and illegal aliens/ illegal alien criminals are allowed to vote in places like florida an they chose him bc of his race it had nothing to do with political thinking the minorities voted for the minority candidate an the corrupt political congress was pair off to keep the electoral college voting for him the man is a liar a kenyan born terrorist an a bastard I hope he gets assassinated after he leaves office
