I’m not surprised that most Obamaholics had no problem with Messiah Obama spending $240,000 of their hard-earned tax dollars for a “date” with his wife Michelle Obama in NYC.
How many of you catch a flight to another state to go on a date for one night? This probably wouldn’t be an issue if Obama himself hadn’t said just last week, “We are out of money now.” So the U.S. is out of money but Obama is just going to keep right on spending recklessly regardless?
Yesterday, the media questioned White House press secretary Robert Gibbs’ about the outrageous abuse of public funds by the Obamas.
One of the reporters in the room asked a great question which, of course, Gibbs couldn’t answer: “Is there any precedence for a president and First Lady to take an out-of-town date night like this, not connected to an official or even a political… event.”
Anyways, here’s what Barack and Michelle spent the $240,000 on:
Three private jets, two helicopter rides, extra planes for security and closing roads for motorcade. [link]
