Power Corrupts . . .

The Washington Times pegs the cost of the Obamas' "date night" at a cool $250,000 for the taxpayers.

Amazingly, The White House is declining to reveal just how much the President spent of our money -- and the sycophantic press just laughs and moves on.

What's most dismaying about all of this isn't the "appearance" of big spending during a recession. What's dismaying is that, apparently, the President has either forgotten or overlooked the distinction of what is the taxpayers' and what is his own.
