It was probably done for Bo's protection.

Bo, the president's Portuguese Water Dog, arrived separately on one of two MV-22 Ospreys, a hybrid aircraft which takes off like a helicopter but flies like a plane.

Veterans may not get care for war wounds & agent orange due to sequester, per Barry yesterday at the VFW, but we can afford to taxi his f***ing dog—that he named after himself—on an Osprey no less, to their umpteenth vacay of the year.
About 10 grand per hour per sources I’ve found.
My SIL worked on the powerplant engineering.
Is that you Mitt?
Seriously?
But it's GOOD to know...
From the article, TWO ospreys were used.
TWO ospreys cost just under $176 MILLIONS. Hourly cost for TWO ospreys, $22,000. FLight time, figure 1 hour, round trip for TWO ospreys: $88,000.
Was the second Osprey for Bo's food, water dishes (for a water dog), toys, and its comfy cushion?
I think the mini-mooches and grand-mooch are all flying in separately as well.
It’s good to be Royal.
Absolutely! We would have a much more manly First Dog.
Thrills.
The perpetual vacationer has an expensive private flight for the propaganda pooch.
Wonder what the final cost of that nose thumbing at us is?
Meanwhile, the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds are grounded? Make sense to you?

Why would emperor Obama care about wasting tax payer dollars....?
His subjects are in awe of him....and he deserves anything his heart desires...
His dog is far too important to be left behind.....he is after all part of the royal family...
I would bet that Reggie Love has also been airlifted to Martha’s Vineyard on a separate Osprey to join the festivities.
Absolutely. Especially when you realize that it is NOT a long drive to MA and to take the damn ferry over to MAAAtha’s. This is utterly ridiculous... no security concerns whatsoever to justify this idiotic expense. Look at who is on the ground— an excessively overweight “fixer” looking black dude, a female Navy officer and other security types— who are they to be flown afterwards... oh and with the dog?
They should have used a drone to drop him off.
-——Other times I think that underneath the thin veneer, they are just low class people and they don’t know any better. -——
They are low class grifters and do know better... They simply do not care....they are elitist...and their arrogance knows no bounds....
Because his muslim faith dictates dogs are unclean.
Jean seriously really LOL!
I never hear of US President refusing has his pooch with him
You never hear our previous US President
I doubt Bush family with HW bush with Millie or W with Barney, Miss Beazley spotty I think they rather have animals with them
