The President and spouse leave the "Marine One" Helicopter en route to their aircraft to fly to NY City for a date night.
At the entrance of the aircraft carrying the President and his spouse to New York City is most likely a secret service agent. The majority of the agents accompanying the President will not fly on the Presidential aircraft. They and the required vehicles will be flown to New York by another aircraft. At least, they are not using the normal "Air Force One."
A copy of their itinerary. One also has to wonder what the expenses were for the City of New York who is required to backup all of the President's security.The White House refused to say how much the trip cost taxpayers.

Michelle One When President Obama flew back to the United States on Air Force One after his Paris visit. His wife, two daughters and her mother did a bit of shopping in Paris before taking their own Boeing 757 (C-32) over to London to do some sight seeing. Do you know how big a Boeing 757 (C32) is?
The motorcade prepares to move Michelle Obama, her children and her mother through London. Do any of you wonder what this sightseeing trip cost the United States or The United Kingdom.We all remember Obama's admonishment to corporate CEO's in February 2009:
"You can't get corporate jets, you can't go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayers dime."

Apparently that doesn't apply to either him or his wife.
AND NOW WE HAVE THIS FROM THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION UNDER THE DIRECTION OF PRESIDENT BARACK H. OBAMA:

Social Security Admin trains hundreds at Arizona Biltmore
Kay B. Day
The U.S. Social Security Administration is dubbed one of the best agencies to work for, and judging by a training conference, I can see why. Fox News scooped the training conference held at the Arizona Biltmore, a facility claiming to be "known throughout the world as the 'Jewel of the Desert.'"Every room has a well-stocked mini-bar and for the weight conscious, a scale. The SSA, Fox said, flew 700 managers to the resort for a conference with skits, a dance troupe, Casino Night and door prizes.
If you're recalling President Barack Obama's fit about private companies doing the wine- and-dine in exotic locations after taking taxpayer bailout money, you're not alone. The federal government spends taxpayer money with no shame, no integrity and no accountability.
The Fox reporter asked a SSA spokesman, "With withering criticism over the misuse of taxpayer dollars, many people will look at this and go, 'Wait, same thing.'"
The spokesman replied, "There's a clear distinction between the two. They received specific bailout dollars. We didn't. We're not using any recovery money. There's no ARA money involved in this."
That sort of brain-dead reasoning prevails in Washington. Bureaucrats think if the bucks don't come from one pot, it's fine if they come from another. There's a complete lack of consciousness regarding safeguarding taxpayer dollars.
Every taxpayer in the nation should send the SSA a bill for any federal funds used on this excursion .
With billions of tax dollars wasted on overpayment's, the SSA should be sending employees to stay in a wilderness camp. The only reason they won't: those people wouldn't survive the challenge.
The entire department management should be fired, and so should the agency heads. Once again, the federal government proves its ineptitude as we, the taxpayer, face a government composed of looters.
Soap Box Ravings would like to point out that all the money the government spends comes from taxes on it's citizens. The only other way to get money is to print it willy-nilly and that will cause inflation. Wait, that's what we are doing now under the Messiah's Divine Guidance.
There are a lot of changes being made, none of which Soap Box Ravings sees as relating to increased honesty and integrity of government.
Soap Box Ravings wonders: Can you feel the change?
