The Obamas visited a movie theater near their rented vacation home in Hawaii on Thursday morning for a screening of the sci-fi spectacular. Officials say the first family had the theater to themselves to watch director James Cameron's tech-heavy film.

Because the Secret Service profiled. Anyone who wasn't a presidential family member was not allowed in.
Profiling - If it's good enough for the Secret Service, it's good enough for the rest of us
Church of the 19th hole.
Well commie propaganda does attract commies.
Yeah, wouldn’t want all that riff-raff around.
I would seriously doubt it since he and Moosechelle hate Whitey.
Unless they used it as a “teaching moment” to point out how Whitey was living in the South, where they used to have slavery, so the wealthy white family should have already sent all their money to Africa for the sake of redistributive change - you know, the thingy that Bambi thinks was left out of the Constitution.
Isn’t that special.../S
Apparently, it’s really nice being King of the USA. They’ve really benefited from some special perks since taking office as the POTUS. Reminds me of the old Soviet Russian system. All comrades are equal except the heads of the Party.

New Year’s Eve turned out to be Movie Day for the First Family. Vacationing in Hawaii on a rainy day, President Obama, his wife and their two daughters headed to a local shopping mall movie theater to take in the Digital 3-D showing of “Avatar.”
The Secret Service cleared one of the 10 theaters at the Windward Mall’s multiplex in Kaneohe for the Obamas, who arrived for the special screening around 9:20 a.m., well before the day’s regular showings get underway so as not to inconvenience other moviegoers. The other nine theaters at the multiplex are open as usual.
The president headed out to the movie after separate phone calls with John O. Brennan, his counterterrorism adviser, and Janet Napolitano, his secretary of homeland security, to discuss preliminary findings of their reviews into the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Airlines Flight 253. Mr. Obama released a statement saying that he will meet with agency heads on Tuesday after returning to Washington “to discuss our ongoing reviews as well as security enhancements and intelligence-sharing improvements in our homeland security and counterterrorism operations.”

how very silly
If a conservative President went and paid for all of the seats in the theater the left would blow a gasket, wouldn’t they. I don’t think Obama paid for the empty seats.
Avatar has been panned as anti-capitalist, and deeply anti-American
figures Zero would want to see it
It's cheap...but always freezing as they crank up the AC for some reason.
