Obamas Celebrate Wedding Anniversary On the Town First couple eats elegant dinner out in D.C. By CAITLIN MILLAT Updated 6:27 AM EDT, Sun, Oct 4, 2009
The first couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary as Mr. and Mrs. Leader of the Free World Saturday evening, dining out in elegant fashion in the nation's capital to honor their 17th year of matrimony -- but their first in the White House.
President Obama and wife Michelle spent the first part of their special day together in the White House after returning from a whirlwind trip to Copenhagen in a failed attempt to pitch their former home, Chicago, as the 2016 Olympic host.
They emerged from the presidential home later in the evening, a balmy Washington night that saw the first couple dressed to the nines. President Obama wore a sleek black suit, while style icon Michelle donned a matching, backless knee-length black dress.
They took a first-clas motorcade to the Blue Duck Tavern in Washington, D.C.'s tony Georgetown, where they had an intimate dinner and celebrated 17 years together. The Obamas, who married on Oct. 3, 1992 in a Chicago church, spent their last anniversary at a simple dinner in downtown Chicago.

I’m not so sure about that!
There are barbs in the text.
Mr. and Mrs. Leader of the Free World ???
They had a nice anniversary dinner last night, eight 8 U.S. soldiers died and the Kenyan Poseur continues his journey of personal discovery.
Amen.
That's what caught my eye....wifey and I went to the local flea market yesterday, and both commented on the prevalent crap being sold there - the "Obama Collection".
How embarrassing for Ms. Millat, that minor league propagandist.
A “couple” so thrilled to be leaving thier anniversary dinner with the anticipation of getting back home to continue the endearing rememberances of their vows. /sarc
She walks out with a snarl on her face and a lawn bag draped over her shoulders. Must have used a Sharpie to color over the yellow straps and he comes out with that happy look on his face and both hands in his pockets.
I hardly think he is looking for the keys to the car or to the front door of the house.
Must have been one hell of a delightful dinner! I’m glad I hadn’t spent a pocket full to have a nice dinner there and to have these two cheerful people pop in.
If there are barbs in there, I missed the point of the fish hook.
How much is this day out going to cost the tax payers?
Good grief do these people do nothing but party?
“President Obama wore a sleek black suit, while style icon Michelle donned a matching, backless knee-length black dress.”
Matching??? The only thing I saw that was “matching” was the color. Her dress did not have sleeves as did her husband’s suit, nor could it be described in any manner as “sleek.” Michelle doesn’t do “sleek.”
I think I’ve figured it out.
Barack has such a catastrophically miserable marriage that he is taking it out on the entire United States of America.
A GOP first lady would be getting roasted for living it up and wearing the latest fashions during a deep recession
A - The First Lady:
1. Unhidden cost of her US aircraft to and from Copenhagen?
2. Cost and detailed list of accompanying staff currently on the US payroll?
3. Cost of accompanying staffs' accommodations, food, refreshments, local travel (taxi), Official Transportation, etc. for First Lady's party?
4. Any additional aircraft for First Lady's party, for folks like family, press, dog, Secret Service?
5. Amount Opra is reimbursing the USA for her envolvement and that of her staff for #1 - #4, above?
6. Amount the Chicago Olympic Committee is reimbursing the USA for the First Lady's envolvement and that of her staff for #1 - #4, above?
B - POTUS
1. True and total unhidden cost of Air Force One for the trip to and from Copenhagen?

4. Any additional aircraft for POTUS's party, for folks like family, press, dog, Secret Service?

All I ask for a a true and honest (if that is not redundant!) of this "excercise" to the American Public. I'd be interested to also know who has personal vested interests in the possible favorable outcome for this adventure, specifically relating to the possible sale of real estate and other servicees should the Chicago Olympic Committee - 2016 be successful.
That's all I ask. Starting to think of the length of time a snow flake or many snow flakes can survive in Hell while I await the answer to the forgoing questions.
When will someone in the "main stream" news business address any of these questions and share the results with us.
She has nice threads. Who gave them to her?
You know the Obamas never pay?
Gov Palin who paid for your clothes?
I tell my sons at least a dozen times a day to get their hands out of their pockets. It’s so tacky. Maybe if I mention, “You’ll look like Barack Obama!” that will make an impression (including on the “collateral target,” their Dad).
If anyone else looked like that would they be happy?
