The Maine Newspaper Story
Now, this is just beyond the limits. Who in the heck do they think they are? This is just insane. I love my pets, but a private plane for them? And how many handlers were hired? Your tax dollars at work, folks!
I wondered where Bo was when the Obama's disembarked their plane. The quotes in red were from the Maine newspaper story. Read it for yourself!

Noblesse Oblige: Obama's Dog Gets Own Plane on Vacation Trip
(Read WP posts from Warner Todd Huston) | (Read MT posts from Warner Todd Huston) | rss
The Morning Sentinel, a small paper from the state of Maine, has a travelogue story of the Obama's vacation in and about Maine today. It has a very interesting little tidbit in it that should enrage every American. It is something that really shows Barack Obama's arrogance and his obviously assumed air of noblesse oblige.
Among the exciting details of the Obama's visit to Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor is this tidbit:
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.
As the rest of us toil on the unemployment line, as millions of Americans find their retirement accounts dwindling, their hours at work cut, and their pay scale trimmed, King Barack and Queen Michelle are flying their little doggie, Bo, on his own special jet airplane for his own little vacation adventure.
Well, it must be nice to be able to afford to fly your doggie about the country whenever you feel like it. It must be nice to hire people to act as your dog's escort. It must be comforting to know that you have the power to arrange such luxury for a dog.
As America lurches toward depression our leader is wasting millions on constant vacationing -- 16 vehicles were used to drive the Obama's around North Carolina -- and affording his dog his own special jet airplane.
Air traffic at the small Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton was shut down for the presidential arrival. A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter patrolled the air in anticipation of the first family's touchdown, and a pair of local fire and rescue trucks stood ready on an otherwise empty tarmac at the private air hangar.
The Obamas then traveled onto Mount Desert Island in a motorcade of at least 16 vehicles. It was led by two Maine State Police cruisers and included five black Chevrolet Suburbans.
And all this on OUR dime, folks. We are paying for our monarch to fly his pets around the country on their own special jets, folks.
Perhaps Barack Obama isn't like a king. Perhaps he's more like an emperor? An emperor like the fiddling Nero.
Folks -- please, please pass this on to all!!!! It's this kind of entitlement that MUST incite the GOP and Independent base, so we can throw the bums out on November 2nd! |
