Let Us Eat Cake!

The Obamas took a $24,000 trip to the theater. And we paid for it!
The White House said "President Obama promised his wife dinner and a play". Perhaps someone should inform the President of the Washington D.C. theater community and of the many top notch restaurants all over our nation's capitol. It would have been much easier on our wallets. But when your used to tossing out trillions on wasteful buyouts and socialist programs, whats 24 thousand?
This "power couple" seems to feel very entitled to the finer things in life. Every Wednesday night they throw a lavish White House cocktail party with top notch champagne, caviar and celebrities dancing to big name entertainers. No doubt Mrs. Obama wears shoes a little dressier than her $500 tennis shoes.
The poor Obama's have both been known to take off at a moments notice to get away from the "pressures of the White House". Their first escape was a week after the inauguration. It looks to me that the man who desperately wanted to be president is now seeing the reality of the job. I think his idea of the presidency was what he saw on "The West Wing".
As for their trip to New York. The way they describe it is they just went out for date night. However, contrary to secret service policy, the entire route from the restaurant to the theater was revealed before hand and crowds were allowed to line up on the side walks. Extra police had to be brought in to increase the first couple's security. So much for a quite, romantic night out. Meanwhile, because of the second automaker bankruptcy, the unemployment numbers are going to take another leap. I wonder if those people who voted for Obama to save their union jobs, who now find themselves having to "sacrifice" their employment for the good of the environmental rantings of Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi, will be dinning out or attending a Broadway show? I suppose they can just eat cake!
