This is on the front page of MSN.com Another Washington dusk, another motorcade, another installment in the ongoing public romance of our nation’s president and first lady. On Oct. 3, just a day after their failed Olympics bid in Copenhagen, Barack and Michelle Obama slipped into a Georgetown restaurant for one of their now-familiar date nights: this time, to toast their 17th wedding anniversary. As with their previous outings, even the dark photographs taken by passers-by and posted on the Web looked glamorous: the president tieless, in a suit; the first lady in a backless sheath.
The Obama date-night tradition stretches back to the days when the president spent half his time in Springfield, Ill., reuniting at week’s close with his wife, who kept a regular Friday manicure and hair appointment for the occasion. But five days before he ventured out for his anniversary dinner, the president lamented what has happened to his nights out with his wife.today.msnbc.msn.com/id/33523420/ns/today-the_new_york_times/?GT1=43001I get the interest that people have but I think there are a hell of a lot more important things going on in this country and around the world to report on then the Obama's date night.

Agreed. The celebrity type worship done by the media of the Obama's needs to stop. I voted for the man, agree with some of his ideas, disagree with others, but the level of navel-gazing being done is a little over the top.

Let's look at it from this perspective... The media writes about anything. If it involves the President, all the better. That said, the only reason I know about this story - is because you posted the damned link. And the only reason I visited the thread was because I thought it was a make fun of MoHawk as he finds out the realities of marriage thread. So, technically - YOU did the reporting on Obama's date night.
