Obama hit by Republicans for New York night on the town

    Desert Observer's Page

President Obama took First Lady Michelle on a Saturday night date to see a Broadway Theater play in New York City. The first couple made the trip on a 12 passenger Air Force Gulfstream V (C-37A) plane (temporarily identifed as "Air Force One" because it was carrying the President). The New York evening out was in keeping with a promise the President made his wife during the campaign.
The trip was criticized in a press release by the Republican National Committee. The RNC called it "a joyride" — on Air Force One while the nation's economy is suffering. How petty! The RNC never criticized President George Bush when he flew to his Texas ranch on weekends.

This latest GOP salvo against the President clearly proves them worthy of the "disloyal opposition" title for they appear determined to criticize the nation's leader at every opportunity. And the really sad part about this type of small-mindedness is that it is not at all typical of so many Republicans I know, for it demeans them and the political beliefs they hold dear. 

Nevertheless, pettiness definitely occupies a top spot in the Republican National Committee's political playbook. The folks running that operation definitely need to get a life.
