The jet-setting Obamas arrived at their $50,000 per week Martha's Vineyard vacation destination yesterday on separate taxpayer provided jets.
The extravagant travel choice flies in the face of Barack Obama's war on private jet owners and his call for "shared sacrifice" to ease the exploding federal budget deficit.
Michelle Obama and the two Obama daughters took what appears to be a Gulfstream jet while the president and family dog Bo flew Air Force One to a nearby airfield and were then taken by helicopter to Martha's Vineyard, according to an account by the Martha's Vineyard Gazette and other reports. No reason was given for the Obamas traveling on separate jets.
Thanks, kristinn! Nov. 2012 cannot come soon enough!
PING!

Security reasons? What plane (or mode of travel) is safer than AF1? Seriously...
Keith Koffler, over at White House Dossier, reports that MAO and the ‘girls’ (offspring, plus Granny R, plus all hangers on in ME!chelle’s posse) arrived four hours earlier.
What was soooooooo important to the non federal employee, Mrs. Obama, that she had to fly in early on a govt jet???

Obama: Meow Petchew!!!
Ever since the 1900 calorie snack in Africa
Wait a minute! Look at it from his point of view!
Here you are Professor You Lie of the Chicago School of Bureaucratic Socialism, on an academic sabattical, and you have less than 2 years to reach the 20, 000 billion dollar level in THE VALLEY OF DEBT.
Give the guy a break, will ya? He knows nothing about making money, and surrounds himself with money-know-nothings. His only choice is to destroy money. There cannot be a mountain of debt, only a mountain of money. Debt is the opposite of money. Professor You Lie turns every debt pit into a debt crater, and eventually in the fabled VALLEY OF DEBT. (Music swells, and debt-o-crats sing loudly.)
He is doing his best to deepen the 1600 Penn. expense account to the maximum. “50K for va-cay, gotta spend it anyway!” ( Has a nice campaign melody to it.)
Long live spending loopholes for pouty guys like You Lie. Long live those who have exec. cars, Marine helicopters, Canadian buses, and at least on Jumbo jet to “fairly” raise donations against the enemy, real or imagined.
BTW, have ‘Ol Algore calculate the carbon boot print for You Lie’s goings and comings. Sure hope You Lie has been buying jet fuel from companies that have found favor in his speeches.
That's surprising considering that Bill liked to hang around Monica Lewinsky, the most famous Meat Eater in American History.
