How could barry justify that trip? It took 2 helicopters, 3 planes, (them, press, staff) 1 motorcade and 600 police/security/Secret Service and hundreds of citizens inconvenienced just for barry to go on a date. They had dinner, drinks and went to see August Wilson’s play: Joe Turner’s Come and Gone about a “man coming to terms with the history of slavery”.
BARRY: I am taking my wife to New York City because I promised her during the campaign that I would take her to a Broadway show after it was all finished.
Why couldn’t he take her when he was already in New York for some other reason? It’s so irresponsibly selfish there’s really nothing to say. And he had the nerve to chastise the car executives for flying instead of driving? What’s the difference? Taxpayers are paying for both.
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.
And Gibbs refused to say how much it cost. (video)
Transparency?
Who can possibly take barry seriously?
Mayor Bloomberg said the president doesn’t make much and that he’s on a budget, too.
