President, King, Fool or Something Else

November 6th, 2010

a fleet of 34 warships, including 2 aircraft carriers
250 U.S. business executives
6 university presidents
9 passenger aircraft
45 armored limousines
30 elite sniffer dogs
10,000 or more Indian police and military members
1 American president and his family
3 days in Mumbai

The cost? Nobody knows for sure, the White House is mum. Some have claimed $200 million per day! Regardless, it’s all on borrowed money. The problem is, nobody will loan the U.S. anymore. So to finance our debt, we buy our own treasuries. That means you and I pay for this trip.

The result? The American people are being taxed an additional $600 billion this week! Yep, by the end of November, today’s dollar will buy 20% less than it does today.

Hmmm…

One interesting thing in the article I noticed from The Daily Mail. Not only is there a vast display of military might that goes before this president… but he is to travel in a secure vehicle named “the beast.” Interesting name, that.

He is the president of the United States, who at times acts foolishly, and then again, like royalty. But then, I can’t help thinking about the name of that car.

Pray for the president, our congress and other officials. Pray first that they are saved, and ask for them to have wisdom, and to use the wisdom in righteousness.
