Date Night for the Obamas: NYC, Broadway with RNC Hate (Pictures)

Well, all is negative in Republican Land.

They are now criticizing the Obamas for going to NYC, to Broadway for dinner and a show. The dastardly, nasty beasts. They don't understand that the Obamas have downsized everything and not taking the famous 747 jet. Oh, well when you are in the dumps, you jump on anything and hopes that it sticks. And the Obamas dined at the Blue Hill restaurant in Greenwich Village.

The Obamas dined at the Blue Hill restaurant near Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village, according to White House spokesman Josh Earnest.

h/t Escapade And full hit piece by RNC, here.

Well, you can say the Obamas are at least trying to keep the costs down. They downsized the transportation opting not to take the normal Air Force One 747.

It’s not like they took the $10 Fung Wah Bus either though. They just hopped on a smaller plane. Although it is still called Air Force One, it’s just part of the fleet.

The plane they took this afternoon is an Air Force Gulfstream V (C-37A) — a 12 passenger aircraft. (H/T Mark Knoller). And there are no plans to circle the Statue of Liberty.

I don't understand the RNC hate. The Obamas are a young couple and like to get OUT OF THE BUBBLE. They were not like the Bushs who practically went NO WHERE. And the country likes to see their president out and about with the missus.

Again, when you have no new ideas and running around in circles after your own tail, what else can you expect? Closing on a postive note, Al Rodgers pictures, enjoy!!

The Obamas hitting Broadway tonight

When the pictures are out, I will post. And if you look at President Obama's itinerary to the left, they will leave for NYC shortly. And they are flying in a small plane, not the famous 747 jet.

For all of the people sprawled out on those lawn chairs along shuttered Broadway in Times Square, take note: A certain famous family plans to be awfully close by on Saturday evening.

President Obama and his wife, Michelle, plan to visit New York City on Saturday and take in a Broadway show, the August Wilson play “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone” at the Belasco Theater on West 44th Street, according to three theater executives who have been informed of the First Family’s plans.

The theater executives spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the president’s itinerary, and cautioned that the trip was subject to change.

“The president and the first lady will be making a personal visit to New York tomorrow,” said Bill Burton, a spokesman for the president, who declined to elaborate on the schedule.

The Obamas plan to attend the 8 p.m. performance of “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone,” a critically acclaimed production that has been nominated for six Tony Awards, including best revival of a play. read more here.....
