Vice
President Biden's Two Night Trip to London and Paris Cost Over $1 Million-Truth!
Summary of the eRumor: This is a forwarded email that
alleged that Vice President Biden's trip to Europe in February 2013 cost American tax payers over $1 Million.
The Truth: Vice President Biden and his entourage
travelled to London and Paris in February 2013 where they stayed in
costly five star hotels. This according to a
March 22, 2013 article by ABC News that said that the State
Department contracts for the Hyatt Regency London tabulated to $459,338.65 and
the Hotel Intercontinental Paris Le Grand's tab was $585,000.50.
The article also said, "While the figure may be eye-popping, a State
Department official said these costs are par for the course in
high-level international trips as they also include accommodations for
staff, security details and military personnel."

A real example of the eRumor as it has
appeared on the Internet:
Can you imagine paying $3,283.09 per
room. That is the true price for this extravaganza of our vice
president. It shows $500 ($500 x 136 is only $68,000) at the bottom of
this article, but the real price is $3,285.09. He needed 136 rooms for
his entourage, but had to pay for 893 rooms. The reason for this is to
vacate the entire hotel of guests for safety reasons.
They could have rented a smaller hotel
for instance.
Outrageous! Liberal hypocrisy at its
'best':
Biden's One-Night Paris Hotel Tab:
$585,000.50... $459,388.65 Hotel Bill in London...
