Thread: Obama’s Dog Flies to Vacation on Separate Jet

The Obamas arrived at their vacation spot in Maine, and the local paper, the Morning Sentinel, described the scene:

The president was the first to walk onto the tarmac, dressed casually in a pale blue Oxford shirt and khakis. A few minutes later, the first lady, dressed in black capris, a tank-top and sandals, walked onto the runway. Shortly afterward, Malia and Sasha joined their parents.

Baldacci and his wife, Karen, presented the family with gift bags full of Maine-made goodies, including baskets made by the Passamaquoddy Tribe, popcorn from Little Lad’s Bakery in East Corinth, iconic L.L. Bean bags, University of Maine ice hockey hats, and an assortment of other Maine foods and books.

Karen Baldacci said the bags for Malia and Sasha contained one loon toy and one chickadee toy that sound their natural calls.

Arriving in a small jet before the Obamas was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as a present by the late U.S. Sen Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.; and the president’s personal aide Reggie Love, who chatted with Baldacci.
Not enough room on Air Force One for a Portuguese water dog and Reggie Love? Obama had to have a smaller jet (G3 Gulfstream, according to the story) serve as Air Force One instead of the 747 the president usually uses because of the size of the airport, but still, it’s a dog — and we’re all supposed to sacrifice in order to get through these tough economic times, right Mr. President? … Um, Mr. President?

There was some concern because the jet carrying the First Couple’s egos was a bit late in arriving due to rough weather over Shangri-La.

Incidentally, my dog saw this story and wants his own jet now, too. Thanks Obama.

A dog and Obama's basketball buddy get a separate plane - at OUR expense - while thousands in the gulf states are out of work, possibly for years and millions of others lose their unemployment benefits.

and we’re all supposed to sacrifice in order to get through these tough economic times, right Mr. President?

But he is sacrificing! He's sacrificing as much as he can possibly get away from us!

This is the G3 interior or similar.



This is the G3 and it seats 11 passengers comfortably.

this is disgusting. put the dog in a cage in the belly of the plane and stop wasting taxpayer money.

oh wait, i forgot, obama doesnt care about taxpayer money or americans

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

Oboma should only have one vacation per term, and only inside the USA. Along a budget with a (per month) fuel/energy limit . Anything over the budget or limit is automatically deducted from his salary.( unless approved (only) by the people.

If they are concerned about what the dog will do in a plane --that they can't even stand to ride with him-- imagine what he does in the White House.

i want to know what it costs to operate a seperate plane for a damn dog.

waste waste waste

Has Obama taken more vacation days than he's worked - yet? Because I'm sure that's one target the Obama family is heading towards, since they're living the ultimate socialist lifestyle off the backs of what's left of the American worker's tax dollars.

Ready to support the Obama family for the REST OF THEIR LIVES? That's what what's left of the American worker's tax dollars will be doing.

No wonder Obama, and most other presidents before him (save the early on presidents), likes illegal aliens so much - they're all stealing tax dollars off the backs of the almost extinct American worker.
