Obamas Date Night At Citronelle

from the White House Pool report at HuffPo: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/02/obamas-have-date-night-at_n_195248.html




POTUS and FLOTUS are dining at Citronelle.

Tick-tock:

Pool loaded vans at 5:34 as part of a longer-than-normal-length-seeming motorcade.

At 5:53 the president and first lady emerged from the White House. She was wearing a white short-sleeved top that tied in the back, black capri pants and flats . . .





POTUS and FLOTUS held hands and took a stroll on South Lawn after completing their first date night of his presidency.

Walking slowly, they headed down the path from the residence, past the swing set and out of sight for a few minutes in the direction of Mrs. Obama's garden.

Photos revealed he was wearing a dark suit and no tie.

And after looking a the photos a fashion correction from the last report - FLOTUS' white blouse was long sleeved but pushed up her arm and she actually was wearing heels.

Her hair was in a ponytail and she was holding a blue clutch.

They walked slowly. They came back up the drive a few minutes later and before walking into residence they both waved at the pool.

That would have been awesome!

ESPECIALLY looking at the two of them in THAT setting! Sigh...

That's certainly a change I can believe in!

:toast: :thumbsup: :headbang: :patriot:

and forgot to tie it back after the fact!

I was at Kohls shopping today and there were no many cute blouses, but they have those ties, which I do not like, especially around the waist because I am short-waisted and do not look good in them.

and don't disappear to Camp David from Friday to Monday.

The Obama "date night" seems to be an indication of an emotionally healthy relationship ... something to be respected and applauded. It's been missing from the White House for EIGHT YEARS. Or more.

They should have stopped to swing a while.

love, love

I almost prefer no pictures. Let them have their time alone.
Very nice though!

Would love to see Obama riding his Trek on the bike path along the river from DC to Mt. Vernon (with a stop in Old Town Alexandria for lunch). It's not likely to ever happen, but I think he'd enjoy it.

One of the top restaurants in DC, and damn expensive. Michel Richard, chef.

Diners get to see the chefs at work in the kitchen behind the glass from the dining room.
