Some people have to sacrifice for the greater good

But not the Obamas. It's date night! [Link]

Tonight is date night and, no the First Couple is not flying to Chicago for a night out. This week they are taking the plane to New York City for a Broadway Show and dinner in the Big Apple.

The AP reported:

For the evening, the first couple jetted to New York City for date night. A Broadway show and probably dinner were on tap.

"Hi, guys," Obama said to reporters and visitors gathered at the White House as he and Michelle left for their night out. Both were decked out: She wore her hair up, heels and a sleeveless black ruffled dress that fell below the knee while he went tieless in a dark suit and white shirt...

The White House refused to say how much the trip was costing taxpayers.
