Obama Takes Michelle Out For a Date and Us For a Ride
by Burt PrelutskyThe other day, I received an e-mail from a lady who let me know she was in the habit of forwarding my articles to her daughter who’s away at college. Apparently, she felt I could provide the young woman with an antidote to her left-wing professors. I wished her luck, but I didn’t hold out much hope. After all, by this time, the young coed has been immersed in public education for 13 or 14 years. Let a child be raised by wolves and you shouldn’t be too surprised if, upon being rescued, his table manners leave something to be desired.
I’m not engaging in hyperbole when I say that I’d sooner send a youngster to Florida during hurricane season than to most colleges. As I see it, he or she has a very good chance of surviving the hurricanes. Their hair might get mussed, but at least their brains wouldn’t be scrambled.
Frankly, I’m surprised that there are any young conservatives left in America. They deserve to be on the list of endangered species. Considering the amount of pressure they face from peers and professors, I am in awe of those with the gumption to stand their ground. If the nation’s Founding Fathers came back to life, I believe they’d recognize them as the progeny of those Americans they last saw hurling tea into Boston Harbor, fighting at Lexington and freezing at Valley Forge.
However, I also believe that after taking a good look at America today, they’d shake their heads and wonder how, after such a glorious beginning, we’d wound up in this pitiful condition. How did we go from George Washington to Barack Obama in, historically speaking, the blink of an eye; from the man who refused to be king to the man who would be czar?
Speaking of Obama, the White House is trying to convince us that the recent date night that took him and the missus to New York, along with his usual entourage, cost the taxpayers a mere $24,000. That’s supposed to be the total amount of the roundtrip flight, the two helicopter rides, the limo, dinner and the show. Fat chance. My brother-in-law in Michigan had a heart attack last year. His heart must be working just fine now because it didn’t stop when he got the bill for the 50-mile helicopter ride to the hospital. It was $12,000, and that was one-way, and without a squad of Secret Service agents riding shotgun.
I guess the good news for those of us who had to pay the freight is that Obama’s mother-in-law is still hanging around the White House, so he probably didn’t have to spring for a babysitter. But next time he and Michelle want to step out, I wish he’d just ask for the car keys and 20 bucks for burgers and a couple of cokes.
On a more serious front, I sincerely hope that when the president goes in for his annual check-up, the doctors at Bethesda will do a brain scan. Surely something must be terribly wrong with a man who seems to be far more concerned with a Jew building a house in Israel than with extremist-Muslims building a nuclear bomb in Iran.

Chalk up at least one conservative professor, albiet among the business faculty. By the time I get these students, they are pretty far gone.
Specific to the POTUS, the guy is simply an empty suit. Let them eat cake, and all.
Meet the new boss ……..
And then there are those $14,000. set of golf clubs recently delivered to Barack so he can continue to learn how to play golf. And Michelle's — my gosh — alligator-skin handbag for many thousands of dollars so she could look "outdoorsy" while walking around a lawn in Russia (but did she take along those $500. tennis shoes she wore to the D.C. food shelter, or buy more in Europe).
These clothing, sports items I just listed may be paid for out of "their" salary but the point of this is their lack of good taste and decency in light of their preaching and pawing over the public's thoughts, what we should be thinking, what we should not be thinking, followed by their lack of hesitation or even demurring as to committing us all to trillions of dollars of debt and several generations of hard labor to contend with it.
Those impetuous runs to the corner for, so Barack says, cheeseburgers and icecream on the public multi-thousands of dollars, too, really bother me, while the White House comes equipped with 24/7 chefs, butlers, servers, phone answerers, dish washers and a lot of grand atmosphere, Barack has to make his runs to the corner complete with massively expensive security and multi-caravan black SUVs, leaving the White House largesse to flounder (but still cost us).
Barack and Michelle Obama have no taste and no sense of consideration for others. They're simply hedonistic show people. I was actually surprised that Michelle didn't wear a giant headdress, stones on her ears and carry around a giant drum with feathers behind a big turtle shell shield just to walk on a Russian lawn. I mean, why not, she's worn just about everything else but that so far, and Barack has certainly ordered and eaten about the same.
The date nights (New York AND don't forget the run to Chicago, also at taxpayer expense) are in bad taste. As also all the rest..
As a recent graduate of the higher education system, I managed to retain my conservative ideals. I credit my parents who gave me a good, strong, conservative upbringing with an understanding of choice and consequences. Not to say some of the liberal agenda didn't wear offon me, but I think I managed to avoid the bulk of it. As I speak with friends from high school ( I grew up in a very conservative upper-middle class area), I am shocked to see how many of them have welcomed the liberal movement with open arms. In high school I was among the majority in my political thinking, but among my those same friends, I now in the minority. Inside the home is where children need to learn good political ideas. Can't leave the teaching of the next generation to the public schools. Young conservatives, endangered but not extinct.
History tells us that Good Things Don't Happen to Potentates who Say to The People…Let Them Eat Cake.
I also read that Michelle's mother, who lives at the White House (too) (as you made note of) (also on taxpayer expense) (I'm sure she's not doing her own housework and laundry there or making weekly runs to the grocery store in her own car with her own money), anyway, the MotherInLaw uses the Presidential Booth at the Kennedy Center for entertainment. When was SHE elected President? I guess I missed that, if she was…
Grew up Liberal and went to an uber Liberal college in the Midwest. I was entirely committed to my ideology and worldview.
Today I'm to the right of Attila along with Rush Limbaugh. If I can change, you can change!
Burt, thanks for a great article. 24K? cmon, I may have been born at night… but not last night right??? I think that was the price tag the NYPD got for directing traffic around to appease the Messiah and his wife for a DATE IN MANHATTAN….. srsly, we have been having nothing but financial hardship's in the US and this one goes out and has a dinner date with his wife? the only good thing I can say about this, thank god it was not a mistress.. just a joke. I hope that he can have what the WHITE HOUSE STAFF can offer him, becasue we may need another stimulus package and at that point another date may only cost the tax payers 2400.00 not 24K… hell if your going to lie to us please make it a GOOD ONE…
In fairness to Barack, I doubt he can do much about his mother in law without Michelle jumping down his throat about it. He's pretty much stuck with her.
"Frankly, I’m surprised that there are any young conservatives left in America"
You and me BOTH!
I'm surprised that obama didn't invite his brother and ILLEGAL aunt to come and live with him at the white house. What a bunch of freeloaders. Sense of entitlement anyone…
WHAT!!! Please tell me that $24,000 "date night" was not taxpayer funded. That's my annual salary, BEFORE the taxes are taken out to fund that.. that……(reduced to spluttering and fuming)
Signed,
poor young conservative
You know, the Mother-in-law actually doesn't bother me, as otherwise their children would probably have to have nannies and I just think it's better for them to have a familiar face in what is probably a pretty crazy world for them right now. That really doesn't seem like that big a deal to me, I know some may disagree and I understand that point of view as well.
The date nights, on the other hand? Seriously? Rent a movie like the rest of us! That is nuts.
Great read Burt! We must understand that the “Boy King” …needs his time out with the misses, and if it cost us a few thousand, well that’s just to damn bad. Hubris – hmmmm… maybe it’ll work for Barry?
Burt, your thoughts about the Isreal/Iran situation are spot on. There are no sane priorities, just continued assinity and absurd policy that threaten the existence of modern civilization. One well placed nuke could start the chain reaction. Meanwhile back in Congress, there is new legislation about naming Post Offices after those who still hold office. Now that's important stuff!

Get used to it, folks. No one is more endowed with a sense of entitlement than one with a false sense of victimhood. An ever-widening victim demographic of society has projected all of its outrageous fortunes–real and imagined– onto one man. Now that he is President, he is also King and Lord and Righteous Wrath-bringer, Equalizer, and Munificent Magi.
So I guess we'd best just shut up and take it, miserable rich Ameri-centric bullies that we are. We should be grateful he's left us a few crumbs for our sustenance and hasn't outright banned Conservatism as a hate crime.
“If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.” Winston Churchill
Gee, I wonder what the average age of all those liberals in the house and senate are? My guess? Over 40 yrs old. Once again the world can look to Winston Churchill for wisdom as to what is happening in DC (and Hollywood) at this time.
Oh great. What did I say to get comment moderation? Moi?
Tom, I have to ask you if you have ever heard of HONMA golf clubs or MARUMAN? there are different levels of stars with there clubs and yes, they can go well OVER 20K for a set of lcubs…. but with Obama, and Michelle there sets would have to add up very quick.. hell look at the SNEAKERS they wear!!!
Hell, the old bosses (even to some extent Clinton) valued freedom as the human condition. This jerk thinks freedom is the problem. It's more than a empty suit, he's a marxist. Pure and simple. I hope some blue dogs can see that before too long.
Love the second part of that quote, but I completely missed the not having a heart part. I was born conservative.
14k? That should include Tiger Woods to follow you around to critique each shot. Either that or those clubs are made of gold.
And considering the "let them eat cake" mentality of Obama and wife, I could see that happening.
The public secondary schools are worse.
He may be POTUS but he ain't the boss in that family
looks like the permanent place in history they so desired has manifested: America's Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
Well, that's just crazy talk, but yeah, if those clubs are out there with that price tag, those are the ones Obama would have to have.
I briefly checked out the Honma website ("call for price"), and the BERES MG703 looks pretty much like a Taylor Made knockoff.
I guess the people playing "Honmas" aren't showing up at my local muni track…
Oh great. What did I say to get comment moderation? Moi?
Me too.
And I was being ever so nice.
(I'm having nothing but trouble with "intensedebates" software over the last 4 weeks. I've even contacted support, so far…ZIP.
Not Over.
Not Over.
Me too.
I come from the Ghengis Khan wing myself…
I'm a St. Louis City resident and have found Vito's in Midtown, Joanie's in Soulard and Dewey's in Kirkwood to be a pretty good pizza. Roma Pizza in Bethalto, IL is good too. I really miss Shaky's pizza from way way back.
"Conservatism as a hate crime"
He will
But spending our money(tarp-stimulous) and shoving socialism down our throats he just has not had time.
He is your president,not mine
indeed, that gave me a Scanners moment too.
You must be the Devil himself

This correctly sums up Barack Obama and his policies. He might not be a Muslim, but he certainly has Muslim sympathies. He might not be a Marxist, but all his policies are. He might not be an anti-Semite but his treatment of Israel suggests it. He might not be an Afro-Centrist but he sat for twenty years listening to lectures (who can call them sermons) on Afro Centrism. He might not hate Europe for its colonialism of his father's people but he sure disses Europe every chance he gets. He might not hate democracy, but he's backed every dictatorship from Iran to Russia to Venezuela to Hondorus to…. fill in the blanks.
I just joined GooDDaDDy and got myself a must be approved message. I said nothing vulgar, nothing obscene, did not attack another poster. We need to figure out what key words get us flagged. Is it "anti-Semitism" which I used?
"Marxist"? Mention Reverend Wright? I did all of those.
Guess not.
I think a lot of kids maintain the values that were instilled by their values although the brainwashing is probably a lot more blatant today. It was credited to Churchill that "he who is not a liberal at 20 has no heart and he who is not a conservative by 40 has no brain."
I believe the problem with administrator moderation zapping is a technical glitch and not a problem with censorship. I have asked the BH staff to check it out.
it's not much better north of the border, though there is some sanity in a few small circles of people going to the top…
The mother living with them doesn't bother me either. A) Who wants to live with their mother in law B) without her they would need to hire a nanny czar.
Wasn't it Ann Coulter who said that public schools are the reproductive organs of the left?
As to colleges, why are taxpayer funds being used to support things like "women/minority" studies majors? These are essentially combo indoctrination centers and think tanks for the radical left. Until conservatives start addressing the child abuse being perpetrated on their children, things will invariably get worse, not better in this country.
Support the separation of school and state.
Um….. no, the finish on the clubs you can get 24K gold or platinum and whatever you would like…..mostly the owners are asian and well… they are a little extreme pricing wise….. but yeah, they look like knock offs!!!!
Pathetic. A new low for Prelutsky.
So let me get this straight:
Bush travels to Crawford 77 times and it's okay.
Obama travels to New York and it's a scandal.
That's all you got?
So, has PETA come out yet decrying her choice of a handbag?
what you are seeing is classic liberal entitlement at work…
If you listen closely to his supporters, you will hear classic lines loke 'we must submit to his rule'- this is now royalty and Their Decisions Are Not To Be Questioned. If the Lord and High Llama decides it's date night we surfs must bow and accede to the demands. The cost is irrelevant, you see. The days of humility in the White House (goodness, it was just a year ago wasn't it?) are now over.
And the higher education is now the higher inculcation as well…

Hey, there are college students capable of thinking for themselves! I didn't go to public school but I do go to a left-leaning university (heck, one of my classes was taught by a lawyer for the ACLU), but I haven't changed my mind about my mostly conservative political beliefs. I have been forced to think more deeply about why I believe the way I do, but that's not a bad thing. Sure, it bothers me when chemistry and biology professors spout off about how much they hate Bush in class (not exactly relevant to the material!), but all in all I'm getting a very good education, and I know to take what my professors say with a grain of salt. There is one professor in political science who is truly remarkable – neither identifiably liberal nor conservative, whose major concern nearly 2 years ago was the size of the national debt (I wonder what he thinks now!)
The definition of working vacation mustn't mean anything to you, huh?
*MissQuinn*
endowed?
"How did we go from George Washington to Barack Obama in, historically speaking, the blink of an eye; from the man who refused to be king to the man who would be czar?"
It is mind-boggling.
Excellent column.

"Black teens attack white family on 4th, shouting 'It's a black world'…"
"It came after a family night of celebrating America and freedom with a fireworks show at Firestone Stadium. Marshall, his family and two friends were gathered outside a friend's home in South Akron. Out of nowhere, the six were attacked by dozens of teenage boys, who shouted ''This is our world'' and ''This is a black world'' as they confronted Marshall and his family. "

Obama has taken race relations back 50 years
Are you people serious? How much did the American taxpayer spend ferrying Bush & family back and forth from Crawford all those years? He made 77 trips there in 8 years, for a total of 490 days spent on vacation in TX.
Rent a movie like the rest of us!
I seriously doubt that he needs to rent anything. Hollywood is probably happy to give him copies of all of the movies that are made. Sounds like a much cheeper date to me. Fir food, call Dominoes. They deliver.
She wants the cake and EAT IT TO!!!!
I wonder what the average age of all those liberals in the house and senate are?
Physically or Mentally?
Not my President. He has yet to represent me on any vital issue of State, Law, or Economy.
Heh.
Miles, I know you aren't very good at math, 490 days in 8 years makes 61 days a year, two months in Crawford. Don't lie by making stuff up,
First Mother-in-Law?
What was the cost of all those vacations to Crawford, Texas?
Compare the cost of disrupting the tiny town of Crawford to the cost of disrupting cities like New York, Washington DC, Chicago and Moscow all of which BO has disprupted to go out on the town for high priced dinners and entertainment events. Not to mention, when Bush was on his ranch in Crawford, vacation activities consisted of things like mending fences. BO's entertainment consists of things like attending Broadway shows and eating at 5-star restaurants – spare no expense. Now, if BO continues at his present rate of entertainment at popular upscale night spots, you tell me which of the two will end up costing tax payers more if we go a full 8 years with each.

Good god, Michelle Obama has an ugly back.
Er, Crawford is GWB's, like, home.
the front ain't so hot either.
Then according to Churchill, I was born heartless.
I thought the same thing! But then it is "Queen Michelle" we're talking about……..and alligators aren't all that warm and cuddley……………I suspect Michelle could wear a coat made out of freshly "clubbed" seals and a hat made from a Bald Eagle and she's still get a pass from the serf's…….
Same here. Grew up in the liberal conclave of MA and moved to CT after I got married. Stayed a liberal until 2001 – events of 9/11 made me grow up at the ripe old age of 38. Now I consider myself a conservative trapped in the New England liberal wasteland.
Like you, if I can change – anyone can.
Does the President of the U.S. actually get a vacation? No he does not. Classifying Bush's trips back to his HOME as vacations – when the press flies with him and sets up shop – is disingenuous. Once at the house in Crawford – they stayed put. No glamorous flights for "date nights". I have no problem with my President taking time to spend with his family and his private residence and my tax dollars paying for it. I do have a problem with my President taking his wife on special date nights and taking his kids on shopping sprees to Paris and London, all on my dime (or should I say dollar, you know inflation and all).
Don't forget shoes made from manatee leather
good to see the DNC talking points repaeted yet again (see the Oily one..)
good to see the DNC talking points repeated yet again (see the Oily one..)
Not that we coastal elites don't appreciate your due consideration for the disruption of daily life in our city, but when the president comes to town isn't it expected that there will be heightened security? His visit was no more disruptive than the seemingly countless summer street fairs, movie crews, and construction projects that routinely shut down streets in Manhattan.
Really these complaints are trivial and stupid, though, and I thought they were pretty stupid when people made them about Bush's travel expenses. When you're the effing president, you get some perks that go along with the job. SHOCKER.
Yeah that whole thing is pretty obviously Obama's fault. Good job!
LOL
I very much agree. I grew up in a more liberal area and would run home and tell my parents what I learned, even through college, only to have them both analyze what I had learned and encouraged me to think outside of what I was taught in school and to question everything I was taught, even from them. If it weren't for my parents, I would ended up a raging liberal. It is so sad that there is only one kind of thought taught in public schools. Even college doesn't get much better, though I think it depends on what you're studying.
10 yrs ago, my plan was that my two kids, (age 19 and 21), would attend a nice college. After dealing with middle school, and the first year of high school, I decided to yank my kids and send them to private school. My daughter is married, going to school to be a dental hyg/trains at Gold's Gym. My son, who hates school, is an asst mgr at Pappa Johns. Not high paying or glamorous jobs, but they both have something in common. They each have young ppl from good colleges that couldn't find a job in this market working under them. Will this always be so? No, but when is it going to change? Doesn't look like anytime soon, and in the meantime my kids are learning about the real world, real responsibilities. I hope my son decides to go to a tech school. That way he actually may be needed in the future.
especially the face—looks like she bites!
So happy to see taxpayer dimes paying for Michelle Obama, her mother, and the 2 girls to vacation in France and London. Now they are off an a field trip to Russia and Italy. Places I will never be able to afford to vacation with my family. Shameful. I have no doubt these entitled few, along with Princess Caroline maybe, were in the Air Force One plane scaring NYC in the fly by terrorist skies.
Right there with you. I had uber-liberal parents on top of a liberal "education," now I'm as conservative as Palin. There's hope for us all.
Oh, and in reference to my other post, my kids have their own places. They don't mooch off of mom and dad, don't want to. I remember when everyone didn't go to big universities, and I think maybe that is something that needs to be brought back. We need HVAC ppl. We need contractors. We need electricians and caterers. Those ppl are going to disappear if we don't realize that we need a balance and that everyone wasn't meant to be a college graduate.
Logic, common sense, truth, honesty– none of that means much to him.
Difference being that taxpayers pay for the presidential disruptions rather than private industry.
And don't think I was displaying empathy with the citizenry so much as pointing out that re-routing on the scale it takes to re-route everything in a major city by the time you consider manpower and everything else is many times more expensive than it is for the re-routing of a small town. How much does it cost to rent a 5-star restaurant? How much to arrange for a private showing at a Broadway Theatre or at least ensure enough security for the President? How much to get enough traffic cops to re-route Manhattan traffic? How much to re-route air traffic and ensure on the ground security at the airport? The list goes one. That's all much, much simpler and less costly at a place the size and scale of Crawford.
Much less than the cost of spending the equivalent amount of time in New York, London, or Paris staying in 5-star hotels and eating at 5-star restaurants the way the Obamas seem prone to.
So if it isn't Bush's fault, then go to tactic #2 and declare that Bush was also AT fault.
Nice try.
Miles, don't expect consistency from the breitbots. They believe in preferential treatment for republican presidents.
me too.
Oh come on, do you realize how much that large a piece of plate tool steel costs? And how hard it is to get decent lumber long enough for the vertical pieces to be one piece? I would have to splice some sticks together, machine the initial bevel on the steel to keep it straight… Perhaps my heat treat furnace is big enough, it could possibly hold a machete or two, and quenching something that big is a pain…
Alright, I will start work on the plans. But I do not want to do all that work simply for only two uses, surely you can find some more "candidates" in DC who are deserving. And you bring the baskets!
My daughter has just finished eleventh grade at a private parochial school! The heathens in the public school system have never had a chance to sink their fangs in her.
Colleges and universities most certainly hot beds of vile, anti-American, modern liberalism, but there are good points to them still. I majored in engineering and I can assure you, once you get out of the liberal arts and into science and technology, those students are far too busy with math and science to even pay attention to the left wing nuts on campus. We were so busy the only thing we had time for after studying was getting drunk and chasing women.
Mmmm…..Manatee! Taste's like chicken………
Okay, forget the math in terms of number of trips… just for a moment.
example 1: President Bush takes family to the _Family_ ranch in Crawford for a few days…
example 2: President Obama takes wife to a busy part of NYC for one night… forcing entire streets to basically close off and shut down.
Which one in terms of travel expenses is more expensive for an entire trip in terms of per day costs?
Let's not forget the story (found on Hot Air) stating that one of Moscow's most elite dining restaraunts/hotels was commandeered by PBHO, forcing EVERYONE else out of the building… how much did that cost the Muscovites in terms of income?
I have no problem with President OBama going on these junkets.. but use some common sense when you do it. You're the president of the united states, the economic news is _horrible_ and you're out on the town adding VERY little (if anything) to the local economy.
She is taller than him, looks like she might be stronger too. I wonder what he thinks when she calls him "my little man" at night?
someone suggested Vito's, aqua.. haven't tried it yet… I've been told I would have loved Shaky's though… but we'll see
Anything's possible. Your scenario is not probable, nor is your experience common.
Best odds: homeschool.
Will make a list. Oh, and I'll have one of our construction crews gather up the baskets.
mmmmm Kentucky Fried Manatee… homer drools
Everything the president does is taxpayer funded. I don't love it, but I can't begrudge what the pres gets…Bush flew to Texas all the time, Clinton went to Camp David–it's what they do, and it's what's required. And it all costs money. Look at it this way: the hardworking New York cops surely needed the overtime in these rough days. As for the cost…well, hospitals charge $20 for a Tylenol…I suspect your brother's helicopter ride was similarly inflated. Glad he's ok, tho.
As many have learned, there is what college teaches you, then there is what you have to know to survive and prosper in the real world.
Forget college, send your kid to a trade school if you want them to have a long and profitable career, toss in business classes as they will have a good shoot at having their own company is they are any good at all. They may not wind up as Bill Gates, but I doubt Bill haggles with his architect or plumber and pays whatever they want.
The Secret Service might complain about food they did not directly see get prepared, it is their job to see he does not get poisoned. They would have to invite official Food Tester Biden. (And people think he has no purpose, go figure.)
Dig the troll talking points, myrmidons and there devoted love of Barry!
One word folks: HOMESCHOOL!!!
I home school – I was raised ina conservative household, and the school I went to was known as one of the best school districts – we had liberals among us, but they were the minority. Reagan was a big hero for a lot of us. Fast forward 20 yrs and Im telling my husband there is NO WAY I am putting our one and only daughter in the hands of the retrobates that run the same school that had a distinctly honorable reputation in the area. Why? Because of how the leftist marxists have taken over the schools and turned them into asylums. And reports we got out of the school as to what happened there on a practically daily basis confirmed my stance. So Ive been homeschool
The leftists have destroyed the public school system. I dont care what tests they run or what kinds of things they buy to make the school more palatable to people. It is rotten and stench-filled to the core. They can take my tax money if they really want it but they wont have my daughter.
I have watched.
I have recorded
I will teach
and there's nothing they can do about it.
I found this on this site (follow Blog link), you have likely never heard of this guy's site since he does several unabashedly conservative webcomics thus he gets little notice. He posted it as arriving in his email, my apologies if you have seen it circulating elsewhere.
I recently asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be president some day.
Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were president what would be the first thing you would do?"
She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people."
Her parents beamed.
"Wow… what a worthy goal." I told her, "But you don't have to wait until you're president to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where homeless guys hang out, and you can give them the $50, you earned, to use toward food and a new house."
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"
I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."
Her parents still aren't speaking to me.
