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.
Democrats are the party for people rich with everybody else's money.
BRAVO!!!
I couldn't have said it better if I had tried in a million years.
Why should they care? Do you hear anyone but us complaining? They are doing this 'in your face' mocking, while ripping our country apart.
WHO is doing anything about it, except talking? It's getting like a game with them to see how much they can get away with because they are black.
Now, they are doing their best in start a race war in this country, on top of everything else.
I’d have less trouble with it if the dog was a member of the family and so loved that they wouldn’t THINK of leaving him for 4 days.
Bo- unfortunately- is a prop; he’s needed as any other prop would be for a photo op.
I hope he gets some real affection from someone.
It’s just not right to leave Bo at home by himself.
Why am I seeing a National Lampoonesque ‘Presidential Vacation Maine 2010’ debacle developing? lol
Nothing new really tho..
O is such a PiP of a Pres__ent,
such Great Expectations too...
Well that would be problematic.
What ?
I think your on the wrong website .
The country has 14 % real unemployment , the markets are crashing and spending has unraveled and you think its no big deal for a Muslim Marxist who trashed GW Bush at every turn for being elite rich white oil man to fly a dog around for a long weekend on the taxpayers dime !
Incredible. It would be funny to see the Bambis (I almost said, the Jeffersons) doing this if they weren’t doing it with everybody else’s money. Talk about nouveau riche.
That said, Obama, as a Muslim, may have a few conflicts about the dog...
LMAO! Kennedy gives the muzzi-in-chief a phakin' black dog.
Geez, these fools are dumazzes!
Desperate for affection from SOMEbody.
Thing is that these retrieving dogs have been bred for generations to work closely with a human, and they don't do well shut away from "their" family.
I've met a couple of PWDs but I don't know them like I do Labs . . . still, any gundog wants to be part of the team, not shut away in the White House basement with a keeper.
Hopefully whoever is told off to look after Bo will develop a good relationship with him and give him something useful and worthwhile to do. All sporting dogs need a JOB as well as a family circle.
I’ve always thought it was a Muslim thing. Obama was seen ONCE with Bo when the media were hot about this story. But otherwise, Muslims don’t like to get too close to dogs.
Unclean.
And I think it’s almost the same with his children. They are photo ops, but not much more.
May have a point . . . .
That's the same crazy dog . . . . and that's what you get if you get a high-bred field trial Lab. They are obsessive-compulsive retrievers.
As image conscious and stage-managed as these people are, I seriously think it's a contrivance to evoke some kind of quaint eccentricity like Reagan's jelly beans or Carter's peanuts.
I'm sure "ice cream cone" poll tested well when they were figuring out what Obama should like,
Obama Louis and Michelle Antoinette.
Or you just get a German Shepherd. Never had one that couldn't be taught to heel in two training sessions or less.
Well,
at first I said it as a joke
then thought abut it
and realized it very well could be true.
Does the dog ALWAYS get his own plane???
And why???
The trouble is explaining to a high-powered field Lab that yes, you want them to go full steam ahead through all obstacles . . . just not right now.
My Ruby heels pretty well now, just sometimes she forgets herself a little.
Off leash heeling with a duck in the water, but if you look carefully you can see that her hind feet have levitated off the ground. She's out ahead, which I don't like, but since a mallard just made a great big splash about 75 yards in front of her, I'll take it.
America’s own Roman Emperor.
WHY DID THE DOG HAVE TO GO ON A WEEK-END VACATION???? RIDICULOUS!!
