Our romantic President took his wife out on the town, tonight. Barack took Michelle out for dinner and a Broadway play in New York City.
► Fashionable pair: Michelle, with her hair swept up, wore a sleeveless black cocktail dress, adorned with fringe, and a pair of low, strappy heels; the President was tieless in a dark suit.
Sasha waving from the Truman Balcony as Moms and Big Papi enter Marine One.
► The President was accompanied by his wife, Time Magazine's world wide cover person.
► Hail to the Chief!
► Landing in Manhattan.
► The first couple enjoyed a private dinner for two in the city's West Greenwich Village district.
► NYPD escort parked on 6th Ave & 8th St.
► Heading up 6th Ave after dinner.
As the motorcade drove up Sixth Avenue to the theater, crowds about eight deep gathered and gave them a warm welcome as they passed.
Even cab drivers opened their doors and stood on the frames of their taxis to catch a glimpse the President and First Lady.
Pulling up to the Belasco Theater to attend the evening show of Joe Turner's Come and Gone.
The play by August Wilson is about black America in the early 1900s, with residents of a boardinghouse recalling their migration from the sharecropping farms of the South to the industrialized North.
► The theater's audience gave them a cheer.
► New Yawkers line the street corner.
► I dig the mole on her neck.
► Speeding home down Manhattan's FDR highway. Hope the babysitter doesn't mind if they're late. I'm sure Sasha and Malia had fun calling their friends from the Oval Office.
► Marine One lifts off from Manhattan...
► ...and streaks across the Brooklyn sky.
And now the President prepares for a BIG week overseas, with visits to Cairo, Buchenwald, Dresden, and Normandy.
Of course the winguts are ripping out their hair over the date, but that only exposes their envy.
And completely out of touch with reality, the RNC issued a biter, classless, class-warfare denouement:
As President Obama prepares to wing into Manhattan’s theater district on Air Force One to take in a Broadway show, GM is preparing to file bankruptcy and families across America continue to struggle to pay their bills.
Have a great Saturday evening — even if you’re not jetting off somewhere at taxpayer expense.
Yes, watching them stew in their own biter juices is PRICELESS!!
P.S. The first couple couldn't have picked a better time to visit New York, as the Bronx Bombers have taken sole possession of first place in the American League.
