Two Billion dollars
For a presidential trip
Good thing we're not broke.

Three thousand people
Being taken for a ride
Guess what? So are we.

In my whole life I'll
Never see the Taj Mahal
But my money will.

No expense too great
When Obama wants to play
Big man on the hill.

Spending's so much fun
When it's done with OPM
(You can look it up)

Well, the fault is ours.
We gave him to power to spend.
Now we pay the price.

When he was running the press made a holy man out of him. What he is much different, but they are still his lapdogs.

A timely poem, Balladeer!  Amazing that our mainstream media here in America has failed to report the expense related to Obama’s escapade but that it made the news both in India and the U.K.  Hopefully, poems and posts such as yours will get the news out to the people.  Wouldn’t we all love to see the Taj Mahal?  For this price, it seems we should have!  Maybe he’ll send us a postcard.  yeah, right.  Thanks for posting!

I would love a paid trip to TajMahal as well. Fine writing.

...and I suppose our local national media has been given good incentive to keep the highlights of this off the wires...

but can one be impeached for idiocy in these current economic times?
