Hero Of The Working Class Barack Obama Drops $900 On Valentine’s Day Dinner…




Remember this the next time he rails against evil “rich” people.

Via WHD’s Keith Koffler:


President Obama took First Lady Michelle out for dinner Thursday night to the restaurant Minibar, possibly the most exclusive joint in Washington. [...]

That is, the price for tasting approximately 20 small dishes is $225, not including tax and tip, while wine pairings will set you back $75, $120, or $200. If we assume a mid-range $120 for wine, the total comes to $345 per person, or $690 for two. Add in Washington’s 10 percent restaurant dining tax and a 20 percent tip and we’re at $910.80 for dinner.

Compared to the costs of the family vacations in Hawaii...this is chicken-scratch.

The President knows how to spend taxpayer money, for sure. And how to collect more of it.

yup

a GENIUS


Thank You, Obama!

The cost of dinner came out of his pocket, not yours.

While Barack Vacations In Palm Beach, Mooch To Take Separate Taxpayer-Funded Vacation In Aspen…




Which at the very least doubles the cost to the taxpayers.

Via White House Dossier:


First Lady Michelle Obama plans to vacation in Aspen, Colorado this Presidents’ Day weekend, separately from her husband, who will land this evening in West Palm Beach for his own down time with the boys.

According to Aspen newspapers, both Michelle and Vice President Biden are expected on the slopes. The White House has not yet announced the trip, and it’s not clear when she will be leaving, though she will presumably go today.

Michelle’s separate excursion from the president means that, even as the government prepares to slash spending as the March 1 sequester approaches, taxpayers will be footing the bill for two separate Obama vacations, paying for items like travel and the expensive security and staff entourages that accompany them everywhere.
