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?
