I don’t ever remember the media being this fawning over a POTUS before – not even with G-Dub right after 9/11

The compliments W was getting after were very grandiose (Churchill, Napoleon and Caesar all rolled into one). But not quite so ubiquitous as the Obama drivel…

How many homes could have been rescued from foreclosure wuth the public’s contribution to this evening event? I don’t begrudge them their time, but these events carry a pricetag to the taxpayer that borders on obscene.

And these are two papers that don’t care for BO.

Actually, only the Post can claim that. Although they did endorse him.
The Daily News was always cheerleader.

Just got back from NYC….my hotel was next door to that theater! Of course the street was on lockdown, with sand trucks blocking 6th ave and Times Square. Also lined with NYPD and SS, bomb trucks, police cars AND snipers on the roofs of all the buildings near the theater.
I was getting back from the South Street Seaport, but allowed to go to my hotel when I showed the NYPD my key. Several guests where standing out front, so I stood with them to “catch the action”. As soon as the “word” was issued they were on their way out of the theater, we were shoved back into the hotel lobby and the doors locked and blocked with baggage carts. The drapes were drawn shut. Phftttt. So I ran out the back door, up 45th to 6th (passing several thousand cops!) I was told to keep moving, don’t stand still. So I did and whipped around to 44th, showed them my key at that end and moved down the sidewalk across from the theater. Very slow (I even added a limp). Still no O sighting. Sigh. Though noticed people locked in the bars (darn their luck, eh?) So I walked up and down the sidewalk with a bunch of people who had the same idea. For another half hour. (My dogs were barking, I’d been walking all day). They finally shut down the sidewalk and my group was shoved up to 6th ave in time for the dozen or so motorcycles to rev up to lead the leader back to the heliport. Saw the top of his car, which seemed to go from 0-60 in a matter of seconds. A blink. President of the People, riiiiight.
So yes, date night probably cost us about a cool mil when you think of the NYPD payroll and vehicles tied up for blocks, maybe miles (he grabbed his ride at Wall Street and that route was closed to traffic).
Not to mention the bars and restaurants closed to post-theater patrons all around Times Square. There was some lost revenue for sure.
I’ll give him and MO their date nights, but at what cost is it worth it to taxpayers? Why didn’t he take her to see Ragtime at the Kennedy Center last month? Great play with that inspirational “black” history edge? And as good as any Broadway show I’ve seen.
Sorry to blather on, NYS, but when I saw those tabloid covers, I needed to itch my rant. 🙂

Bet it cost more like $5 million.
So who was O’s date in the NYC Scare Force One flyover?

These “date nights” appear to me to be a distraction for possible infidelity or homosexual problems. No other POTUS needed media fawning over his “dates” as if he needs any more attention. The money spent overhauling his wife’s body and hair could have supported several Kenyan schools.

Maybe, but the guy seems completely asexual to me. All I see is a sanctimonious bore, which is probably why the kool-aid never worked on me.
I’m pissed though. Denise is right, with the local costs factored in, this self-indulgent, over-the-top, “night out” cost us tax payers a bundle & I, for one, don’t have money to burn anymore.

homosexual problems??? It’s not a problem for me.

I suppose his problem would be his own hypocrisy, since he (like John Edwards) said that his opposition to gay marriage was based on personal religious issues for him.
Self-righteous bigot; a few decades ago, that same argument was used to put down inter-racial marriages in some parts of this country.

It could be one for Michelle – who would hencefore be known as a “beard with beautiful arms”

Was Rahm there on date night too with a security guard – as I’ve read about for a couple of Rahm movie nights?

So ……
Has anyone figured out what scared the little O into this obvious “show boating” of his great, great love for Michelle?
What’s next?
Jumping up and down on Oprah’s couch on national TV?
