What Shared Sacrifice? Obamas Fly 'His & Her' Jets to Lux Vineyard Vacay
Friday, August 19, 2011 | Kristinn

Posted on 08/19/2011 6:55:27 AM PDT by kristinn

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.

Didn’t the media used to complain about the ‘smell’ on his campaign aircraft?

Only answer to that is a series marital problem. I can’t even imagine what that must look like.

Moochelle isn’t stoopid. She see’s Barry’s poll numbers; she knows she’s going to lose her status and all the perks next year. And she sure ain’t happy about that.

I think he knows he’s losing and he/she are taking as much of the US with them...illegal to legal immigration, vacations, flaunting golf in our faces while Rome burns...the list is too long.

Am I the only one who’s noticed that Michelle has really dropped off the radar the last few months...

I've noticed that too, and wonder if it is her not wanting to be around him or him not wanting to be around her.

My guess is that there is Trouble in Paradise with the Magic Negro couple.

With the stress they must be dealing with, they have to be coming apart, albeit behind the scenes.

They don’t want to admit it, but they must know that Obama has been a complete failure and that they are about to lose it all.

She can’t leave him, because she’s just not ready to give up federal housing, lavish vacations around the world and all the perks. Besides, being a happily married couple is likely just part of the rest of their facade.

Again, it’s only a guess.... but it seems very probable to me.

Or, the arrogant-monster butted-knuckle dragging-bitch, simply wanted her privacy.

Screw you sons and daughters of slave owners, this is Obama’s America now and they can spend your money any damn way they want. So youse racist white cracker a$$es should just shut yo $%$&#@*%$ damn moufs.

Funny thing is, Drudge borrowed my headline but linked to the White House Dossier report that came out half an hour after I posted my article to FR.

Drudge's headline is : Obamas Fly 'His & Her' Jets to Lux Vacay.

I'm not complaining, just pointing it out for the record. I'm glad folks are taking notice.

...I think that was Buddy Love in the Jerry Lewis movie.’s Reggie Love is Barry’s “personal” assistant, if you know what I mean.

She flies off to Africa. He goes on his Short Bus Tour. She goes to Oregon. Now they can’t even go to Martha’s Vineyard in the same plane? Me thinks perhaps an ill wind is blowing in Camelot.

Great headline!

It's flash-mob-ism. Take what you can and don't think about who it belongs to.
