The First Marriage
JODI KANTOR October 26, 2009
Another Washington dusk, another motorcade, another intimate evening played out in public view. On Oct. 3, just a day after their failed Olympics bid in Copenhagen, Barack and Michelle Obama slipped into a Georgetown restaurant for one of their now-familiar date nights: this time, to toast their 17th wedding anniversary. As with their previous outings, even the dark photographs taken by passers-by and posted on the Web looked glamorous: the president tieless, in a suit; the first lady in a backless sheath.
The Obama date-night tradition stretches back to the days when the president spent half his time in Springfield, Ill., reuniting at week’s close with his wife, who kept a regular Friday manicure and hair appointment for the occasion. But five days before he ventured out for his anniversary dinner, the president lamented what has happened to his nights out with his wife.
“I would say the one time during our stay here in the White House so far that has. . . .” He paused so long in choosing his words that Michelle Obama, sitting alongside him, prompted him. “Has what?”
“Annoyed me,” the president answered.
“Don’t say it!” the first lady mock-warned. “Uh-oh.”
“Was when I took Michelle to New York and people made it into a political issue,” he continued, recalling the evening last spring when they flew to New York for dinner and a show, eliciting Republican gibes for spending federal money on their own entertainment.

Boo-frickin’-HOO.
I clicked on the link, started reading the article, read the first page...and then saw it’s 10 pages! These people have to be kidding me.
Where’s the mega-barf alert???
We should be more sensitive to Dear Leader’s feelings.
Everything annoys this thin skinned adolescent.
“Boo-frickin’-HOO.”
The Kenyan Impostor is annoyed that anyone would object to his extravagant spending just after he warned that the days of flying to Las Vegas to party are over. The Kenyan’s toxic self obsession knows no bounds.
LOL!

Some leaks have said that NYC date cost US taxpayers over 2 million buckeroos
Jets, limos, Secret Service, much more
Obama is dainty egotistical pickpocket/cokehead
WOW, did that dog's little puddle tell you all of that??
No question, they cost a lot of taxpayers money.
The Clinton's weren't cheap on their overseas trips, but they didn't party like the Obama’s do.
.
Clinton had some experience as a Governor - and as one who had lost from dumb mistakes
Obama just thinks he can fake it through with a staff of millions of jerks with no business experience
Mark Levin caught onto the insurance company’s invested assets that Obama wants to get his sticky hands on
Has Obama had any? I'm just not remembering that.
If Obama had staff who actually WERE very intelligent, he probably could fake it through. But Chicago mobland doesn't lend itself to intelligence, just to bribery and cheating - and more.
.
Something building now about about WH fundraiser events -
WH setting them up - a tad illegal
White House fundraisers sounds illegal to me.
I’ll have to do a Google and see if the Obama’s have had State Dinners in their ‘almost’ first year.
.
WH’s Eisenhower bowling alley related
-ok, I’ll get that one figured out, lol. Another Google!!
.
It is part of Obama’s “undling Buddies” scam
Obama has “undling Buddies”??
Is there a shot for that?
.
WH Bundling Buddies
I am running down
Coulda been worse, lol.
You never laugh at anything!
.
Sometimes I do
I just don’t ‘hear you’, lol.
Hubby and I do date night in the town where we live.
Who am I to deny the 0bamas their date? Just leave the 747’s, armored limos, and extensive entourages out of it.
Probably the chef could whip up a lovely private dinner and I wouldn’t begrudge them some violin music from local talent. Grandma is there to watch the kids anyway.
I thought that odd & wondered was that the ring he had worn before his marriage?

Odd. Wonder what it signifies? We need a closeup those of pics from Oxy and Columbia.
Thanks!!! Are you saying those 2 pictures are current? they don’t look like the same ring.
I thought that odd & wondered was that the ring he had worn before his marriage?
Ring Ping.
Yes! Really.
BTTT
Ring PIng.. LOL
Their version of a State Dinner is the Wednesday night 'rock star' parties.
I can’t read 10 pages. My A.D.D. kicked in after the snippet.
puffery -— not worth the time, but there were a few choice morsels to follow up.
They sure don’t look like the same rings to me. Maybe he was given *friendship* rings by others before his *real* marriage?
Something very Creepy about the ring in the left picture. I can’t put my finger on it.
The picture on the right is showing a ring on a finger? Very far down a finger? or is it a thumb? It just looks strange. Oh, and cheap. The ring in the second picture looks cheap.
I noticed he had gone to Bali to write his book...wonder if anyone else was there during that time.
Has Obama had any? I'm just not remembering that.
For today's media, it depends.
CBS says the first state dinner will be held for India on Nov. 24.
The LA Times said the first state dinner was held for US Governors in February.
February, November, Governors, India -- what does it matter to the fab couple and the cool coverage?
------------------------------
These images are too poor in quality to enlarge, at least given my capabilities.
I wondered that also. Bali trip before their marriage. BHO & Michelle in Bali in 90’s — early 90’s. I think he finished book in 1992, IIRC

you’re a wonder with photos. Where are the rings in 27 from? Are they current photos? Are they both on his wedding finger? They certainly don’t look like the same ring, do they (in post 27)?
That angle seems to show how rings in 27 could be the same ring. Vertical ridges on top; ornate on either side. Do you agree?
He is occupying the fricking office of the fricking motherloving President of the United States. He is the ultimte political anus - always spewing great clouds just to hear his own motherloving voice.
And he has the fricking gall to complain that some people don’t like him wasting taxpayer money in a severe economic downturn to go on a gosh-darned DATE with that witch who holds the leash on his testicles?
F him and anyone who has EVER fricking resembled the rosy pucker he calls a face!
that’s the first time I’ve ever seen a raised part in that pre-wedding ring.
