Sure, it’s one of the worst songs ever written. But perhaps President Obama and First Lady Michelle are closet Air Supply fans and are simply “Keeping the Love Alive” by enjoying a date-night in New York City tonight. As we told you earlier, the Obamas are spending a presumably romantic evening together with dinner and a Broadway show this evening in the Big Apple. If the RNC are fans of Air Supply as well, perhaps they believe the Obamas are “Lost in Love” because flying off to New York while the economy is tanking is just not right they say.
“As President Obama prepares to wing into Manhattan’s theater district on Air Force One to take in a Broadway show, GM is preparing to file bankruptcy and families across America continue to struggle to pay their bills,” RNC spokeswoman Gail Gitcho said in an email this afternoon. That’s not all from Gitcho. She then added a snitty, “Have a great Saturday evening — even if you’re not jetting off somewhere at taxpayer expense.”

First time I saw this photo I was convinced it was MO
Does anyone remember where Ronald and Nancy Reagan spent their date nights?
Don't attack his poor choice for the USSC.
Hardly the issue the GOP should go after.
It was the RNC that supported the credit card changes signed two years ago that screwed everyone.

“Hardly the issue the GOP should go after.”
Just a few few weeks ago Obamachev was blasting business execs for flying off to Las Vegas in their corporate jets on the taxpayers dime. But it’s ok when he does it?
This is a great example of ObaMugabe’s arrogance, extravagence and the multi tiered society he is erecting. The date is a glaring waste of taxpayer money.
Obamachev is at 63% approval in the Gallop poll. No issue is off limits. We need to shred his popularity every chanced we can.
I'm in total agreement. To hit on this "date" and ignore Sotomayer and North Korea shows the disarray of the Republican Party.
We have selected the helpless to lead.
RNC spokeswoman Gail Gitcho is a idiot.
“Let them eat cake.”
Air Force One doesn’t travel alone. That flight to NYC on AF1 plus all of its supporting aircraft probably burned as much fuel as 100 small jet flights by Detroit execs.
“Do as I say, not as I do.”
What nonsense.They need to blister his ass on the issues not his dinner date.
EVERYTHING 0bama is doing is fair game. Open season!
Agreed....but the mentality of the majority of the American voting public is juvenile enough to think Obama's date with Michelle is "rad and cool".
The Pubbies stepped in it again. Its "small" and even "smaller potatoes". There are far bigger issues we are ignoring....Sotomayer and NK for two easy picks.
Yuck fou.
You can bet the DNC would be going after Bush for this type of waste. How many unemployed Americans are missing trips to NY?
Pray for America and Our Troops
“..but the mentality of the majority of the American voting public is juvenile enough to think Obama’s date with Michelle is “rad and cool”
I disagree. Obamachev’s gross abuse of his office perks is something the average Joe can understand. Not to mention the double standard of his beating up business CEOs for the same thing.
Events like this can crystalize negative opinion of Dear Leader.
