COUPLED UP: THE PRESIDENT & FIRST LADY FLY TO NYC

June 1st, 2009

US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama walk toward Marine One on the South Lawn of The White House in Washington, DC for a personal trip to New York City this weekend.

The first couple had there ‘date night’ and attended the Broadway show ‘Joe Turner’s Come and Gone’ at the Belasco.

Making their way to board Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland…

    They looked good. I heard there was already some fire over who fit the bill for them to get to and from Washington since they didn’t take Air Force 1 but a private jet.

    You never heard anybody making a fuss about previous presidents’ personal jaunts. This man can’t win – they’re gonna always be looking for ANY reason to come down on him.

    The only reason why Obama and his wife are on this press junket to push the image of “in love husband and wife” is because this dude, Larry Sinclair, is poised to expose Obama as the h*mosexual that he is. Obama cannot have him killed like he did the choir director and other hom*sexuals that he had affairs with in his “congregation” in Chicago because it will give legitimacy to Sinclair’s claims.

    I think that its great that they still manage to still spend time w/each other. If they can do it, so can everyone else….. Everyone is always saying their too busy for a relationship….. But no one is more busy than the pres.

    it’s SO funny how the republicans were complaining that in the light of the GM thing, their date was ‘insensitive’. as if that had anything to do with anything. kmt.. haters. they’re a great couple, hope they have many happy years together

    WHAT THE HELL

    The President and 1st lady said they wouldhave took the shuttle if they were allowed to and they paid for their own dinner and movie tickets. The republicans need to sit the hell down and stop complaining. It was ok when they was running things and spending very dime they could. Republicans, don’t get made because The Obamas truely love each other and show it by going on dates. It keeps you happy more ways then one.

    I just love my first family. I am so happy a brown skin sister is enjoying this kind of love and attention. So often with a man of his calibre and stature, this is usually a privilege reserved for some high yellow or white chick. But, Mr. President kept it real.

    hey jude

    attn; all us colored folks and this means no matter what color you are. and also your occcupation . regarding the incident where the woman clergy thought she could give the president a letter……… look peeple’s as of jan 20 2009. when barack obama became the leader of the free world. for us regular folk it is now and forever “access denied” to the man and his family they will forever be in a bubble and it means you can-not approach them unless you get CLEARANCE and then you must go through the proper channels, and then your chances are slim to none after they screen you. it just ain’t going to happen. no matter what your intentions or what your agenda may be. its a damn shame that this president is the most threaten president since they started having them. so you people SHOULD UNDERSTAND. they [cheney/bush] have dumped so much in this mans lap and said “now you take care of it”. he just doesn’t have time to take letters or hear our greivances. its out of the car [ the beast] and straight to air force one period. thats why a website was set up for this purpose to send your inquiries there. and if the [prez] wants to see you, the folks at the white house [his staff] will let you know. so lets quit embarrassing ourselves and let this man handle his business. thank-you secret service………..

    They look wonderful, I love to see the Obamas together. It still gives me chills to think about us having a black president. And that is wonderful that they still make time for each other. That is what helps any healthy relationship maintain.

    Not only did I vote for Obama, I contributed to his campaign every month during election season.. I said that to let yall know I am a supporter BUT the Obama’s r starting to get in my nerve with their date night every other weekend..

    Im really starting to feel unsafe with this guy’s naiveness towards almost everything.. Im praying for U.S. safety because this is not a good look for him seen just having fun while people r suffering …

    Plus not to mention I start to believe Obama really wanted to be famous/celebrity soo bad he is over doing it now!!

    President Obama is one sexy man, and it’s lovely to see his love for FLOTUS. it’s beautiful. Pres. Obama swagger is intriguing. I’ve noticed that younger men are losing cool points because they have no game, no charisma , nothing. Yet, these older men are putting it down. They even take better care of themselves. Younger men need to wake up and get it together, it’s not sexy, not having yourself together. I’m so hating on FLOTUS, right now, she’s married to Obama. Education and Ambition=Sexy. Thuggish rapper= not sexy.

    MICHELLE OBAMA COULD LEARN ALOT FROM BEYONCE ON HOW TO BE SEXY AND KEEP HER MAN IN CHECK. BEY COULD TEACH HER HOW TO DANCE AND BE SEDUCTIVE. SHE NEEDS SUM HELP PROBABLY IN HER SEX LIFE. BEY COULD GIVE HER SOME TIPS. DON’T GET MAD AT ME WITH COMMENTS I’M JUST TELLIN THE TRUTH.

    Love this couple…we have many, many more…unfortunately, we’re still colour struck with narrow ideas of beauty. The First Lady represents well and together they give us a model to aspire to, imperfect as they are…they appear to be authentic, compassionate, honest and very sharing people. The stuff that true greatness is made of and available to everyone!

    Go Pres and 1st Lady!!!

    Trust all the other Presidents did it too and nobody said nothing until the black man did it and now they’re trying to act like they’re all about saving money. You already know the Bush’s were flying all over the place to Martha’s Vineyard and everywhere else in Air Force One on our dime too. The Obama’s are millionaires after that book anyways. Sit Down!
