First couple's date: dinner and a Broadway show - Yahoo! News
NEW YORK President Barack Obama made good on a campaign promise to his most important supporter Saturday night his wife, Michelle.
The president and first lady jetted for a date in New York late Saturday afternoon, aides and media in tow.
"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 in a statement an aide read to the press.
Following dinner at Blue Hill, a West Village restaurant touted by New York magazine as a "seminal Greenmarket haven" that features food grown by chef and owner Dan Barber on his upstate farm, the president and first lady were headed to the Belasco Theater to see "Joe Turner's Come and Gone."
The play by August Wilson is about black America in the early 1900s, with residents of a boardinghouse recalling their migration from the sharecropping farms of the South to the industrialized North.
As the motorcade drove through the West Village, crowds of people gathered on the sidewalks of the blockaded streets to wave as he passed. The street in front of the Blue Hill was closed to passersby, with gates and security personnel keeping people away.
The White House declined to say how much the trip was costing taxpayers, and even before the smaller jet left Washington, the there-and-back trip drew criticism from the Republican National Committee. The RNC issued a news release that chastised Obama for saying he understands American's troubles, but then hopping up to New York for "a night on the town."
Noting that General Motors is expected to file for Chapter 11 protection on Monday, the news release said: "Putting on a show: Obamas wing into the city for an evening out while another iconic American company prepares for bankruptcy."
Wow! another meaningless thread against the Big O.
How many times did Bush fly to his little ranch in Texas? How much did that cost?How many days of vacations did he use?
Obama paid for his own tickets and meal.
Willow, the reason he has done what he did with the Auto industry is that your little boy George broke the economy, my little Meow.
I was unaware that D.C. didn't have restaurants or shows. Wow, that town must suck.
Wow, you dingbats must not have any life at all if you are so concerned that the President and his lady desire to see a Broadway show. Consider, that if he were not President, he could easily have afforded to go to this show. Being President requires that security that was present.
But, of course, nothing that our President does is going to please you people. And your worst fear is that he will have very successful terms.
"We're all going to have to tighten our belts," Obama said on the campaign trail in October. "We're all going to need to sacrifice. We're all going to need to pull our weight."

Talk is cheap, cheap, cheap. He is quite a master of this domain.

So your lifelong experience as a Democrat appears to have stunted your personal growth to such an extent you are reduced to pedantic cursing with little to no cognitive direction?
Obama's "night out" was a bad move. He cannot talk of sacrifice and responsibility, and declare we as a nation are "out of money" and then go off and do such wasteful spending on the tax payers' dime.
He can talk it - but this president has yet to walk it.
And that is not a concern of Democrat or Republican, but rather a concern of leadership, or in this case, a decided lack thereof...

Whats a matter? Did I strike a nerve or something? Chill before you blow a gasket.
How much did Barry's night out cost and who picked up the tab? Someone put the figure at $1M. If that's accurate, it seems mighty hypocritical of him to be yammering on and on about how bad things are and we all must tighten our belts (see Yurt's post) and 'we're out of money', yet he goes jaunting off to NY for a night out.
'It's all well and good for everyone else to keep on with their lives'? Oh, you mean the thousands upon thousands who have lost their jobs? Yes they are 'keeping on', to be sure.
