Russell Simmons, Terrence Howard Offer Obama Date Night Ideas

Politico:

Barack and Michelle Obama are keeping up their date nights, despite their busy schedules. They've been to Citronelle, the Kennedy Center, Broadway and Paris. So what's next? We caught up with hip hop mogul Russell Simmons and actor/musician Terrence Howard Monday night at the dimly lit Teatro Goldini and asked them for some good ideas.

The two men didn't volunteer any advice, they were asked. Anyway Russell Simmons is cool. He has a healthy relationship with his ex-wife. It appears as if they genuinely like and respect each other and make parenting a priority.

They need to take advise and look to the President on how to treat women. They are both divorced! I am sure they were being polite when someone puts a mic in your face.....they people are customed to "act" as though they know something about any subject. Stick to a script fellas.

More rich people giving rich people advice. Great. How about a date night where the First Couple does some community service and helps the disadvantaged? That would set a better example than lavish Broadway plays and fancy French dinners.

You don't pay much attention, do you.

Why does the First Couple always have to set an example. We do NOT own them for the next 4 or, hopefully, 8 years. They are also private people who can enjoy their down time as they see fit.

uhm... these dudes are divorced... whatever the President does should have no resemblance to what these guys have done or failed to do.

I wouldn't take advice on making a peanut butter sandwich from either one of these two, let alone dating and romance. Child, please !!

This is a joke, right? Why would POTUS need advice from anyone on date night or any aspect of his relationship with MO? They look to be doing alright all by themselves.

obsessive compulsive tendencies, probably a result of sexual frustration. Just sayin....

These two former spouses giving the President ideas for date night with his wife? I don't think so!

President Obama and Mrs. Obama have date nights to keep a working marriage alive, per se; like our pastor tells us, "don't stop doing the things that brought you togetther. Always make time just for you two."

Those two have date nights probably to "score". They are not even in the same league with the Prez; if anything, he can teach them a thing or two or maby even three.

Maybe it would make more sense for POTUS to ask Djimon Hounsou for some dating tips, not BloodDiamond Russ.

Haven't both of them been divorced? I like both of them well enough but I think it's safe to say they do not need to be offering our President any advice on his date nights.

Sorry Terrence but somehow I don't imagine POTUS wants advice from a convicted domestic abuser about how to make his wife feel special.

Or a person obsessed and adamant about women maintaining their "cleanliness" with baby wipes before he touches them.

That was the strangest thing ever! Plus, since when did baby wipes replace a good shower? If anything, this baby wipes thing made me wonder about his hygiene short-cuts.
