Politics and religion.

Very feeble excuse - surely you could come up with something wittier.

I seriously doubt that either couple would consider attendance at the observance of D-Day as a date?

I all wittied out. Plus, I don't make excuses for people with more money than I'll ever see in my lifetime. I also pay for what I can afford, not bill it to the 'company'.

I always filled out my expense reports as honestly as possible.

What woman would pass up a chance to go to Paris instead of NYC on a freaking date night? I like to woo my women in private, not make it a media event.

Of course, any media attention is having the USPS hang my pic in their office.

A few months ago I saw a great bumper sticker: "Republicans for Voldemort".

20++ years ago, I saw a button: "Vote for Darth Vader, if you're tired of the LESSER of two evils."

The more things change, the more they stay the same! (I know I'd just mangle the French spelling!)

Since both couples, and all the other Presidential couples that have gone to Normandy, bill it to "the company", you were wrong to complain only about Michelle.

Aw, shiat. Will I have to buy the MO Inauguration Doll to make up for it?

I was talking about the Date Night that you and I paid for.

I was watching that hack, B Maher and he had the no talent D.L. Hughley on.

Hughley made a joke about the "date night" and completely ignored the money spent on the little tryst. Typical.

What happened to the old "dissent is good" lines that everyone frothed about during the election?

I complained about Baba, Hillary, Nancy, Rosalyn and Maggie, too.

Altho, I wouldn't tell MT to her face, she really scared me.


I really don't like myself, so why would I find time to like politicians and their wives?


Sarkozy's wife is really hot.

We did not pay for the Date Night - the President pays for his own food.

“The president has always had to pay for his own food,” says Carl Sferrazza Anthony, historian of the National First Ladies’ Library.

President Bush had to buy the pretzel on which he choked while watching football at home in 2002. President Clinton was billed (bonus bad pun) for Big Macs he ordered in.

If it is an 'official' function, we pay. Date nights are not included.

Are you offering to pay for Carla Bruni's food

[Medusa]

The POTUS does receive a salary, does he not? And he also had money before he became POTUS. So I'm thinking that he may very well have paid for the date night out of his pocket?

[RICHARD]

Dude, I can't even do the "CB for dessert" joke.

You win.

What does a few hundred NYC cops earn an hour?

What does a few hundred NYC cops earn an hour?

Probably more than you and I do in a year.

[blue]

What did it cost us for them to chopper out in Marine 1? What did the .gov C20 and G5 jets cost to fly them all to NY? Im sure what the O's actually spent of their own money on this "date night" was miniscule to the total cost of the night.

I think its been a long time since the foreign press has been more critical of the POTUS then our own.

[RICHARD]

Probably more than you and I do in a year.

Seriously,
THere is a clip, from a spot above a NY sidewalk, that was stuffed with NYPD cops waiting to move out.

I don't begrudge BO for taking his squeeze out, to score points and maybe get a little something, something afterwards.

It's the cost to the taxpayers and the thought that NYC has to bear most of the cost of this date.

Look, we have to fly, chopper and send the prezmobile up to NYC so he could have his date.......PLUS all the behind the scenes security?

I guess I am too old fashioned.

My idea of a perfect date is a backyard BBQ, on the night when the moon is full.

You time it so, you hit dinner, have a few beers and watch the moon come up over the neighbor's house.

Perfect, simple and the best recession proof deal you can muster.

Who needs Paris?
