You're not paying for his, other than the taxpayers are paying his salary. But whoever pays your salary is paying for you to take your wife out. Fug gedda bout it!

How is this "different". Oh, it was Bush, that's right.

And if they did rent a movie and eat popcorn, then people would criticize them for that. The SAME people, mind you.

You are NOT sacrificing when you are eating 100.00 steak and having weekly parties, or flying around the country to chi town and now NY.

We all know if Bush were doing this . He would be blasted
How 'bout we station you in the White House to check and see if the kids make their own beds, pick up their own clothes, feed the dog, whatever else you think they should be doing. You can report back on an hourly basis. Are they doing their summer reading? Are they emptying the dishwasher? Pleas tell us everything! Give it up about what we would have said about Bush.

Oh, barf!

Now we're starting with the childish names again. Shows you've really run out of steam.

That's an impossibility.

However, I am about ready to turn in for the night.

This is not coming out of his salary. I would have thought that would be obvious.

How do you know that he did not pay for the tickets and the dinner out of his salary? The security would be with him if he took Michelle to McDonald's and the dollar show in DC. Plane trip? Give him a break. As someone posted, this is not unusual for people from DC to do.

I suppose that NObamas massive sense of entitlement forces him to spend billions in taxpayer dollars to fly to France, Mexico, Russia et al.
