Update: The Obamas’ date cost taxpayers $250K?
Since the White House refuses to release the cost of a New York date, the public has been in the dark on how much we paid for the First Couple’s romantic evening. Early estimates indicated it cost taxpayers at least $24K for the Obamas’ big taxpayer date night…and that’s just for the planes.
Here’s an article from the Washington Times that gives us a better estimate of what it takes (costs) the taxpayers to shut down the streets of New York and carry an entourage of wife and aides for a night out on the town.
