Obama polls 37% - Taj Mahal to soothe the pain
Clearly, his criss-crossing the country trying to gin up support - not be mentioning his policies, which have clearly failed, but by fomenting racism, class envy, and pure hatred - has failed.Maybe he ought to head home and wait out the elections before inflicting further damage on his fellow Democrats.
Then it's off to India for perhaps the most expensive presidential trip ever, since he's booked the entire Taj Majal 570-room hotel - plus more.
Good planning by his staff - it will take a lot to prop up the Narcissist-in-Chief's ego after next Tuesday.
President Obama Heads into Midterms at Lowest Approval Rating of Presidency
Two-thirds of Americans believe country going off on the wrong track
NEW YORK , N.Y. - October 25, 2010 - President Obama is spending the next week crisscrossing the country in support of Democratic candidates before this year's midterm elections. While the president may do a great job of energizing the base, he may not be able to convert any Independents who have yet to decide for whom they will vote. Currently, two-thirds of Americans (67%) have a negative opinion of the job President Obama is doing while just over one-third (37%) have a positive opinion. This continues the president's downward trend and he is now at the lowest job approval rating of his presidency.
These are some of the results of The Harris Poll of 3,084 adults surveyed online between October 11 and 18, 2010 by Harris Interactive.
It's perhaps not surprising that nine in ten Republicans (90%) and Conservatives (89%) give the job the president is doing negative ratings. What may be surprising is that one-third of Democrats (34%) and Liberals (33%) also give him negative ratings, as do seven in ten Independents (70%) and six in ten Moderates (60%).
Americans who give the president the highest positive ratings are those with a post-graduate education (48%), a college education (47%), and those living in the West (42%). On the other end of the spectrum, almost three-quarters of those with a high school education or less (72%) and two thirds of Midwesterners (66%) and Southerners (66%) give the President negative marks on his overall job.
While the president is at a low point, there is a political body with ratings much lower than his. Just one in ten Americans (11%) give Congress positive ratings on the job they are doing while nine in ten (89%) give them negative marks. While Congress may be under Democratic control, even four in five Democrats (81%) give them negative ratings.

How much does this cost? I've been curious about the cost of other Obama trips, but was unable to find much on the web. Isn't that a matter of public record? And isn't there a budget for presidential travel? i.e. The first family can go where they like, but there is an annual limit to the amount of money spent.

BeckyS, from the estimates I've seen about smaller trips and in this country.........this is a doozy. This is about a minimum of 30 million.
