It might be too late, however we have to try for our children's sake...VOTE in 2010 to get all of the anti-God, anti-American, anti-Life, anti-marriage, intolerant, racist, marxist/socialist, demo-RATS out - My hope is that by 2012 this democratic party will be completely destroyed, never to be seen again in the USA...Vote Libertarian, Vote Republican, Vote Reform, Vote Independant, Vote Whig, Vote Torey - - ANYTHING but democrat - - This is NOT the democratic party Dad and Mom supported
@carlousmagnus You make a good point with Crawford, but Camp David is a short helicopter ride to one of the most secure locations on the East Coast, the cost is minimal. For most of Bush's presidency we weren't strapping our belts, now we are. Now we watch the "personal", tax-payer funded expenses of our President. Times change.
It sure is when its OUR money! This 250k so called date, and 3 vactions have set us back millions. It shows lack of respect for what the people of the USA are enduring. He and her both have a "let them eat cake" additude...thats never gone over well...ever.
The concern is the extreme amount of money spent on the date at the expense of the American taxpayer, this comes when the economy is seriously struggling, unemployment is very high, and many are facing foreclosure. Additionally, he asked the American people to sacrifice even more while billions of their tax dollars are being mismanaged in the bailouts.
Going on a lavish outing shows a lack of empathy to the plight of many Americans. Things are not going well, he needs to show leadership.
I wish I had $50000 a week to take my wife out in hard times . We know where our CHANGE is going !! STOP THE SPENDING . (I think I will paint my roof white this week with my wife)
this f*** is the biggest hypocrite I have ever seen!!! It is estimated to be over 250,000 dollars probably more look at the security, think about ALL the salaries of the govt, and public security officials just in NY! This SOB needs to be thrown out of office. Bring charges of treason up on him for giving aid and comfort to the enemy during a time of war stemming from his little jaunt to Egypt!! Why would he want to be president of such a terrible nation, sorry ass!!
Last week he said America is broke.I think he spent his whole check in one night.Oh we paid for that Bling Bling trip.Well have to run myself the wife and kids are going to MickyDEES
This is great news, because clearly the threat of global warming from greenhouse gases is over! Right? I mean, Obama wouldn't keep warning us while he's flying private jets back and forth for a few hours of playtime, would he? That would make him a massive hypocrite and we know that can't be the case.
My wife &I have been married 21 yrs. We have tried to keep a date night for most of that time, as many of our friends do. It's been my experience that if U truly want a date night with your spouse U look to be together, enjoying eachother, A time to be alone, a time to have an intimate conversation. The Obamas dont want time together,they want a fancy, self indulgent party the opressed & exhaused people of USA have to foot the bill for! What did he say in his speech? Sacrifice for our kids?
There is nothing wrong with going on a date with your wife keeping a promise. But this is the same President that chastised the CEO of the car companies for flying private jets to DC for a meeting. This is the same President that told us we have to tighten our belts and cant keep our thermostats at 72% and cant drive what we want. What a hypocrite. He spent almost half of what I make in a year in for one night out
he's going to hurt people with budget cuts, ie. the military or retirees expecting social security income. And he's going to hurt people and modest businesses with tax hikes. yet he just spent $7 trillion dollars including unethical bailouts.
Where in the world does he come up with the money to do this?
Robert handled that really well. Who wants to be the President of the United States you get paid a lousy $200,000 a year. You have to pay for the food you eat in the White House, You put yours and your familys life at risk and you don't get to go out unless its on national business. Americans suck for giving Obama a hard time for wanting to take his wife out. Wonder if they gave George W Bush a hard time when he was always on vaccation!
You may want to fact check before posting. The salary is actually a lousy $400,000 dollars a year, and even when Bush went on "vacation" he was conducting business or making official visits. All Obama had to do was make a stop at the local VFW and I couldn't care less how much he spent. Since this was 100% personal, he should be forthcoming with how much it cost me.
Gibbs takes 1:13 to not answer a question. It is not the cost so much that concerns me but what is the carbon footprint of taking three Gulfstream planes to New York? Are there no theaters in Washington? If you are going to waste all that fuel please save the speeches to me about why I should properly inflate my tires.

If it were Obama's money then you know what -- no one has the right to inquire about a fucking thing.
However, if Obama is spending almost 20,000 of OUR money to paint the town red then I'm going to have serious issues with it.

To put out word that business meetings in Las Vegas are bad and then he and his woman go out for a night on the town on taxpayer money.
