The King and Queen of America went on a date in New York City tonight. Unlike other couples, Barack and Michelle Obama's night on the town cost the American taxpayer upwards of a miilion dollars.
While there is a chance Barack paid for their dinner and theater tickets, it is a certainty that taxpayers were hit up for the massive costs of a presidential movement that involved three Gulfstream jets, cargo planes to preposition Marine helicopters, presidential limousines and other motorcade vehicles, travel, hotel and per diem costs for Secret Service advance teams, background checks on the restaurant and theater employees, manning security perimeters, maintaining checkpoints and conducting counter-terrorism and counter-espionage measures for the trip.
According to news reports this was King Obama's first visit to New York since his coronation last January. Normally, presidents will schedule at least one official act or meeting to justify a trip like this. It is pretty much unheard of for a president to joyride around the country for a night out on the the town.
But Obama fancies himself a king, and his wife a queen. It was just a few months ago when the Obama White House criticized corporate executives for flying private jets and spending corporate dollars on expensive conferences in cities like Las Vegas while their companies were being bailed out by the federal government.
Obama's government itself is being bailed out to the tune of trillions of dollars yet King Obama does not believe that he should abide by the laws he lords over others to obey.
Spendthrift hypocritical kings tend to lose their crowns. Impeachment or forced resignation could be the future of this royal couple if they carry on living like Kings and Queens on the sweaty labor of the American worker.
The Obamas date - Marine One, with the Obamas on board, takes off from south Manhattan. The trip was condemned as extravagant by Gail Gitcho, a Republican National Committee spokeswoman: "Families across America continue to struggle to pay their bills," she said.
The Obamas date - The Obamas prepare to depart from John F. Kennedy International Airport.
They probably hide her out in Joe Biden’s “special” room. Since he blew his cover, they can’t use it to hide him in an emergency. All a terrorist would need to do is blow up the VP residence and wipe him out. I am sure they have started a new hideout for him. $$ is no object to them.
You know who’s 3rd in line,don’t you? Nancy(big eyes)Pelosi! Can you belive that???
Our media won’t condemn them for anything. I swear they could play snuff films to the next group of kindergartners at the WH and the press would swear it was for the “sake of the children”.
I hope the British press stays on them and doesn’t let up. This crude couple have been rude to so many of our allies and the worst to the British.
We need to encourage those who tell us the truth.
Yep yep yep the rest of us have to sacrifice so these a$$hats can live high on the hog, if this was George and Laura it would be non stop news...........
IMO we will see more on Nanzi (in an attempt to remove her by her own party) as we see more attention to BO and the BC.

It may be a sort of Middle East / Muslim style. Ties are too Western so they sometimes don't wear them though they'll wear the rest of the suit.
Check out how Ahmadinejad dresses. Just like Barry.
“C’mon, guys,” he pleaded. “I just answered, like, eight questions.”
