So the night before GM announced bankruptcy Obama took his wife to New York for a date night. Sounds nice and normal except the taxpayer payed a lot of money for it. It too three airplanes to get obama, his staff, and the media from DC to Jew York. It took two helicopters to get from JFK to downtown to see the show. Then back to DC.

So my fellow Americans. Change we can believe in. What he did was good for the environment and good for the economy. I am sure taxpayers and other countries who hold t bills appreciate date night. Well done sir.

I wonder if he got some ass out of the deal.

If not, then I'm mad too.

*shakes fist

Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it

Let's not forget to mention how he got all over the corporate exec about jetting about while asking for bailout money.

I really think that the half of America that voted for him doesn't care about actual day-to-day going ons in the world. They are too wrapped up in their own agenda. Simpletons.

Kind of ambivalent on this one.

Personal use of the company plane is a taxable fringe benefit. If it doesn't show up on his tax return, then he's a cock.

He could have taken her somewhere locally in DC... He chose bad timing to go to NY and live it up to the tune of 24 grand...
especially when so many people are hurting.... He made 2.6 million last year... he could have paid for it himself?

Love is the answer

As long as he pays for it himself, with the salary he's paid, I don't care much. Not that it's my money either way...

I don't think you understand. He is not going to pay for it. It's already been paid for....by tax payers.

Well tbh the Whitehouse is a bigger money sink as far as I can see. How many staff in that place? Why should the President be waited on 24/7?

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Through his salary and bonuses, through the PR team, or through the company jet?

Heard of up to 2 million. But who knows. He probably doesn't know. Not that he cares.

Raped by the crown they are.. still. Hardly worth comparing this to the royal ass pounding they receive.

I wonder what the cost is compared to the tourism revenue.

nipsy wins.
