Date Night for the Obama's???

Why Is This Idea Important?: Because BO is costing us more money (in 5 months) than all the presidents from George Washington to George Bush (total amt.) and he has the audacity to spend several thousand to go out on a date. Unbelievable!!!!! Awfully narcissistic of him...

I understand that BO and MO decided to go out for a date to New York.... that this "date" cost the US taxpayers over $20,000.00 with all the secret police, 3 jets, etc... In a country where most everyone is having to live within their means and do without, it seems awfully ostentatious (sp?) for people in government to spend more than some people make in an entire year, to go out for one evening.....you mean to tell me that there wasn't any place in DC that they could have gone on their "date night"????

    Oh, yeah, they should stay locked away in a bedroom like Bush did his entire presidency. Or else leave the secret service at home so you guys could get a shot of at him, right? Doesn't hypocrisy EVER bother you guys?

    Bush Made 77 Trips to Crawford TX at $226,072 a Pop -- so where was the outrage THEN? Worried about a date night? Are you aware of this?

    Knoller reports that Mr. Bush has made 77 visits to his ranch in Crawford during his presidency, and spent all or part of 490 days there.

    FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY *DAYS* at the ranch? Still want to whine about a date night?

    This has nothing to do with transparency and is spam.

    I am not defending Obama’s date night or any other vacation for that matter. I just want to point out the real slouchier president was Bush Jr. who took 879 days of vacation, mostly at his range in Crawford, Texas. The article mentioning this was dated March 2008. Most likely should add another month to his vacation list. The man to initiated two wars, deregulated business, enacted multiple tax breaks for the rich during those two wars, and ran up a hell of a lot of debt did this while on vacation for a full third of his two terms. Can we say Playboy president or does James Bond international disaster president work better. And before your knickers get twisted, yes I know that Obama in his first one hundred days sided with fraudulent bankers and trashed the treasury to the detriment of several future generations of unborn Americans. Republican or Democrats, you cannot win with either.
