Obama spends $73k in taxpayer money taking Michelle on a date.

It's easy to defend Obama's date night.

He's the president. He can take in a show every now and then. It probably costs several thousand dollars for him to go out for a jog. Please, keep a count of every cent spent on the president -- now and in the past -- because it is important to you.

I speak for myself all the time chumpy. It's a song. It's actually pretty good. If you have not seen it you will really like it. It's music baby. I gurantee you will be shaking that fat head of yours. Give one minute. Like you said "it's easy to defend Obama's date night. He's the President" He can can do whatever he likes..... put to music.

Sorry, not watching it. I know you are out of arguments, but that's just lazy.

Obama is no different.

his own personal gain? Youre calling watching a Broadway show personal gain and a waste of taxpayer money?

How much do you think Obama's salary and stipends should be?

He probably thinks all president's who are Democrats should subscribe to the "Ross Perot School of Presidential salary".

Jack don't know jack. This is just plain stupid.

I can't believe people thinks it is ok for a goverment elected official to spend hundereds of thousands of tax payers dollars on a date night! And some people think people like me are stupid for calling his ass out. The jokes on you guys. This is not what he is suppose to be doing. Especially after he lectured CEO's for using tax payer dollars for going to Vegas or a super bowl.....

So are you saying that him and his wife should never go out? Wherever he goes it is going to cost the tax payers money. So what can he do socially? Before you answer hypocrite make sure you explain why you were silent when the previous administration did the same thing..

If all u want to do is be a dick to me so be it. No I am not saying or ever said he and his wife should never go out. (Chump move) There is a difference in price going to a local theater which he could have done for "date night" Instead he flys in planes,helicopters and limos for a evening on us, the tax payers.

Please find one time I defended the previous administration for spending money on a date night or a vacation Bush might have took. You can't but like alot of people here assume shit and call you names like "hypocrite" when they don't know Jack shit.

The hypocrite is Obama for lecturing the CEO's about doing the samething!

now now jack. what's with this silly streak?

Should not have taken it period. Like I said earlier if he really wanted to see a broadway play wait until he is in NYC.

In Obama's case he should not be paid. He has already put our countrry in debt more than any other President.

So Bush couldn't do it, but Barry can.

Somehow this particular incident seems like the worst of multiple worlds, seeing as how he's spending massive amounts of tax dollars AND increasing his carbon foot print AND being hypocritical about his green stances. Or, if you want to give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he just didn't "think it all the way through" and didn't consider what kind of environmental impact his extravagent date would have. I wouldn't condone this from anyone, least of all a "green president".

For the record I am independent and am liberal and conservative on a number of issues. For one I care a hell of a lot about the environment, however I am fiscally conservative; I'm calling them as I see them. For anyone to make excuses about this is asinine to me, but hey, to each his own.

Don't stop there. He shouldn't get paid for any work done after he leaves office either. Any money made after that time should be sent directly to the Treasury.

Hey everybody back off. I told you people to make sacrifices not me I am the Great Barry O'Bama, I resemble King Tut man do as I say not as I do!
