Obama Wastes Millions of Taxpayer Dollars on Personal Entertainment

President and First Lady are partying like rock royalty.

The same hypocrite who says our energy costs must “necessarily skyrocket” to fund his political ambition, is giving Marie Antoinette a run for her money when it comes to spending national treasure on personal luxuries.

While much of the country is struggling to pay their bills, the President and First Lady are partying like rock royalty. The collection of talent that has made the pilgrimage to the White House to entertain Obama and friends is nothing less than amazing: Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennet, Paul Simon, Marc Anthony, Herbie Hancock, Martina McBride, Queen Latifah, The Foo Fighters, Faith Hill, and recently foot-in-mouth Paul McCartney to name a few.

This has the makings to be the greatest ongoing concert series ever to be seen on this Earth just to entertain one man … all paid for by the American taxpayer.

Let Them Eat Cake

Yea, I thought I heard they were party central of the at da house.

[ilovesarah2012]

He better enjoy it while he can.

[Tigerized]

Well, hey. Running America into the ground and turning it into a third world dictatorship is hard work.

The One DESERVES to have the best in-house entertainment.

And if the little people, who are footing the bill, notice and object?

Screw ‘em.

[FourPeas]

Yes, but he’s worth it. Just ask him.

[crusadersoldier]

Nero fiddled whilst Rome burned

[MileHi]

Martina McBride

Sorry to hear that.

[Clock King]

I’d be happy if he was just a partying do-nothing rather than turning the US into a progressive socialist hell hole.

He’s lazy and entitled...totally unfit for office.

[opentalk]

He doesn't work much, seems like an empty suit for the progressive machine, used to spread propaganda messages.

[devistate one four]

before he is impeached, removed from office, and jailed for as long as he lives, we want our money back, w/ interest.

[television is just wrong]

because we have a spoiled child, not a man running this nation.

" all paid for by the American taxpayer"

Does anyone know what funds are used for these events? Does the WH have an 'entertainment' slush fund?

[Malone LaVeigh]

The same hypocrite who says our energy costs must “necessarily skyrocket” to fund his political ambition, is giving Marie Antoinette a run for her money when it comes to spending national treasure on personal luxuries.

We all know what eventually happened to Marie ...

Barack Obama Ignores D-Day Anniversary – Goes to Theatre Party

by Jim Hoft

On June 6, 1944, the D-Day invasion of Europe took place during World War II as Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, France. America lost 2,499 of its finest men that day.

It’s too bad Barack Obama missed the anniversary today.

The White House website has nothing posted today on the 66th Anniversary of the D-Day landing.

The president had other things on his mind.

He was attending his second party this week, tonight at the Ford Theatre.

According to the Ford’s Theatre website, the event tonight is described as follows:

Ford’s Theatre Society will host its annual gala on Sunday, June 6, 2010, at Ford’s Theatre (511 10th Street NW). The evening’s performance, titled “America Celebrates July 4th at Ford’s Theatre,” will be taped for broadcast on the ABC Television Network to air July 2, 2010 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET). Modern Family cast member Ty Burrell hosts a star-studded program with appearances by Kelly Clarkson, Renee Fleming, George Lopez, Lionel Richie, Robin Roberts, Dick Van Dyke, Laura Michelle Kelly and Gavin Lee from the Broadway Company of “Mary Poppins,” the Soldiers’ Chorus of the United States Army Field Band, and cast members from the Ford’s Theatre production of “Little Shop of Horrors.”

The President will also be honoring far left Bush-basher and Jew-hater Archbishop Desmond Tutu at the gala.

Everyone must have their priorities.

If the WH were televising these fetes, much as the Coliseum events in Rome were staged for popular consumption, there would at least be some justification for providing entertainment for the masses in the people's house. That these parties and vacations are every day private affairs for the prez and his squeeze is vulgar and contemptuous.

I hope this story gets as much play as GM execs taking jets to ask for a bailout. At least they were using their own money earned by their company, not chunks of mortgage & grocery money stolen from Joe six pack under the guise of “taxes”.

[WestTexasWend]

Maybe they’ve finally figured it out...First Families pay for the food they consume in the White House, but not for what’s served at official functions.
