First Dog Bo Flown to Maine on Separate Gov't Jet for Obama Vacation
Saturday, July 17, 2010 | Kristinn

Posted on 07/17/2010 7:22:42 AM PDT by kristinn

Barack Obama had the family dog Bo flown to Maine in a separate government jet for the Obama family's vacation weekend, according to news reports.

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.

BTW, Obama's aide Reggie Love gets paid $102,000 per year of taxpayers' money to handle Bo and hold Obama's ice cream cones, among other highly sought after well-paid jobs skills.

Obama doesn’t care what any of us think.

He has every intention of stealing the next two elections — certainly the 2012 election.

“WHY couldn’t the dog have flown with them???”

Because it is just a prop for a photo-op.

Does Michelle Antoinette have a separate jet for Bo or for her Booty? — because that would make sense.

The family can't even be bothered with Bo when they (the taxpayers, actually) fly him up for their vacation

Why not a kennel in the cargo hold of that 747 the King flies around?

Imaging being the AF pilots tasked with flying around the President’s dog. Of course, it’s probably a better gig than flying around Queen Nancy.

That Canine needs a family that LOVES and wants him as a DOG not Political Toy!

What is it with the Obamas and ice cream cones anyway? FNC did a piece this morning showing them walking around eating ice cream cones.

Typical behavior of ghetto food stamp recipients, load up on dessert first before the stamps run out. In Obama's case, they are loading up on vacations and "desserts" before someone finally "changes the locks on the white house."

So,” what’s the difference between Obama and his dog?”
Answer: “At least his DOG has papers!”

Obama probably didn’t want to risk him scratching or getting one of those Cadillacs dirty. “So where’s them Cadillacs at anyway? I own this mountain ya know.”

This is the way a First Dog should travel.

I disagree and see it as a pretty big deal.

I see you’re getting flamed. I don’t think it’s that big of deal either. I do wonder why the dog and aide couldn’t just fly with Obama on AF1.
