Voters: will this sort of spending affect your vote in 2010?

The Obamas had a date night in NYC at our expense. $24000.00 to fly planes, helicopters, reporters, secret service, etc. They paid about $100 each for the two tickets to the theatre.
Tell me, how does this guy get away with telling US to be conservative about spending money and tightening belts, when he’s out there spending YOUR money to have a night on the town?
I’m furious, and I hope everyone else is as well. This guy has no moral compass. People are losing their homes, moving in with relatives or moving into homeless shelters. Kids are forced to leave behind beloved pets, toys, bikes, all the things that make them feel grounded.
Job losses are astronomical. People have lost their entire savings - and I don’t care WHO you blame, Dems, Republicans - it doesn’t matter. They lost everything. And the President is out on a date on YOUR dime.
Come the 2010 election, it is imperative that we have a Republican majority. A shift in majority is the ONLY way to stop the hemorrhaging of cash by the House and Senate.
Every country in the world can see what’s happening to us, and we are the only ones who can stop this.
I don’t begrudge them a night out, of course they deserve to have a social life. But where is it written that we have to pay for it? Why three planes? why are we paying for the reporters to fly along?
