"Taxpayers footed the bill for the big night on the town, which included a total of at least $24,000 for the three aircraft used to ferry the Obamas, aides and reporters to New York and back. Dinner costs and orchestra seat tickets -- at $96.50 apiece -- were paid by the Obamas."
How big of President Obama to pay for his own dinner and theatre tickets! No mention of how much Secret Service cost for the night. And just who among the rest of us would take aides and reporters on a "date?"
What IS this man thinking? We taxpayers are supposed to tighten our belts, pay more taxes, more for food/clothing/shelter, more for utilities, and then we are expected to "volunteer" for community service so that some "community organizer" will have something to organize. Meanwhile, he blows $24 large in one night!
This episode - as have so many others - shows the utter contempt this man has for his subjects...
