Another option for date night... a "pretender" to the throne gets beheaded. Nah. Not so much.

Two martinis, a swank restaurant, a Broadway show President Obama really knows how to treat a First Lady.
"I am taking my wife to New York City because I promised her during the campaign that I would take her to a Broadway show after it was all finished," the president said yesterday after touching down at JFK for an intimate night on the town.
The first couple left their girls, Sasha and Malia, behind at the White House yesterday afternoon, taking two helicopters and a small Air Force jet to make their way to Manhattan.
The Obamas were dressed to the nines -- Michelle in a sleeveless, black cocktail dress adorned with fringe, a pair of low, strappy heels and a turquoise clutch; and the president in a dark suit and white shirt, no tie.
The first stop after touch ing down at JFK was a meal at a low-key, but elegant, Greenwich Village restau rant, Blue Hill, which boasts farm fresh, locally grown dishes.
Obamas were tucked into an out-of-the- way corner table where they enjoyed a multi- course feast specially prepared by the chef. They washed down the fine fare with wine, said a fellow diner, who also no ticed Michelle re laxing with a cou ple of martinis.
Photographers were kept blocks away be hind barri cades for the first couple's privacy.
"We left them alone the entire night," said Blue Hill diner Rachael Levit, of Manhattan. "Nobody asked for autographs or took any pictures. They were laughing and talking and seemed like they had a genuinely good time."
Snip
Then it was up to Broadway, where they had tickets at the Belasco Theatre for "Joe Turner's Come and Gone," a play by August Wilson about a man coming to terms with the history of slavery.

10:32 a.m. September 11, 2001: Cheney Warns Bush of Apparent Threat to Air Force One; Official Account Murky, Disbelieved by Many Vice President Cheney reportedly calls President Bush and tells him of a threat to Air Force One and that it will take 40-90 minutes to get a protective fighter escort in place. Later, many will express doubt about the existence of this threat. For instance, Representative Martin Meehan (D) says, “I don’t buy the notion Air Force One was a target. That’s just PR, that’s just spin.” [WASHINGTON TIMES, 10/8/2002]
The original link to this page is here:
The press relentlessly pursued the claims of a "threat" against Air Force One. There's more text at this 10:32 a.m. time segment.
If it had been Obama or a Democrat President flying on Air Force One that day, nothing ever would have been said about it, and the press would never have investigated it the way they did with Bush.
Classy
Did you raise similar questions when George Bush was President?

***He walks with his hands in his pockets?

Hey, it’s just our ruler surveying his domain. HEY NEW YORK, how is your new ruler working out for ya?..
My husband said: “She is dressed to the 9’s (I’d say 7 myself) and he is dressed to the 5’s.”
They are so utterly devoid of class. Not even a tie!
LOL! What a hoot!
Her: O, Berry!! I can't believe it! You're taking me to a dinner and a show on Broadway...in New York City...today?? O Berry! (Throws herself into his arms) you big, lovable weasel! (smothers him with kisses)Oh thank you...thank you..thank you...
Him: (peeling her arms away) Now...now...people are looking...Besides, you know there's nothing too good for my little sponge cake...(lightly taps her on her chin, Bogart -style)...Now you run upstairs and pick out what you're going to wear..."
***Who paid for the Air Force Jet? It better not have been us.***
>>>Did you raise similar questions when George Bush was President?>>>
Do you have proof that Pres. Bush ever used an Air Force jet at the expense of the taxpayers for a “date night”?
Lookie, dumbo is wearing Air Force gloves.
of course Bush didn’t ever do it, because he would have been crucified nine ways to Sunday for such a stunt and we would ALL be aware of it. and this doesn’t even cause a whisper of disapproval because it’s OBAMS.
Blackie-O!!! OMG!! LOL!
Dressed to the nines?
I believe she’s carrying his genitals in her purse...
CORRECT!
She doesn’t even look like the same Michele.....something’s different.
ROFL!
Get an illustrator and put out a graphic novel series (comic books to us Boomers). I think you have an entertainment franchise in the making. :-)
