24k

I remember spending lots of money on a date,
but not 24K of taxpayer $$$
Two martinis, a swank restaurant, a Broadway show -- President Obama really knows how to treat a First Lady.
The NY Post states,Taxpayers footed the bill for the big night on the town, which included a total of at least $24,000 for the three aircraft used to ferry the Obamas, aides and reporters to New York and back. Dinner costs and orchestra seat tickets -- at $96.50 apiece -- were paid by the Obamas.
They underestimated the bill just a tad.
NYPD has a thing called "Ordered Overtime"
Word has it that over 1000 cops were called in for OT.
They are guaranteed 8 hours and 35 minutes cash overtime.
That is over 8500 man hours.
With Detectives,Sergeants, Lieutenants, Captains, Inspectors, and Chiefs, the bill for NYC for just the police, was over 250K. Add in the traffic control agents, sanitation, emt's, and all the support agencies, Obama's date cost NYC taxpayers a half a mil, easy.

It happens EVERYTIME a President comes to NYC. Obama is not alone in causing the expense. I made many hours overtime for Presidents Bush 41, Clinton, and Bush 43. I got to meet Bush 41 and Clinton on two of those details. When the UN General Assembly meets, thousands of cops flood Manhattan.What is unique about this visit was that it was just a date.
