First dog Bo is airlifted to Obama holiday home

Re: What Sequester? First dog Bo is airlifted to Obama holiday home

Forbes magazine is a blog and right wing !!! :lamo

That charge appears to have taken over from 'fascist' and 'racist' as a conversation stopper. It seems the source has now become more important than the content, or the truth.
 
Re: What Sequester? First dog Bo is airlifted to Obama holiday home

I read your links... both when I did my research and when you posted them after I'd already read them. People can draw their own conclusion, but what I posted was a chronological investigation of the rumors as they emerged and evolved over the years. People are still squawking about something that has not a single, solitary shred of evidence as if it is fact, when in reality it's fun to regurgitate garbage, as long as the garbage casts a partisan stink.

Stop taking the easy way out. Criticize Obama for legitimate complaints, and back them up with legitimate sources. This pap wastes everyone's time.

Well i certainly wouldn't want you as a research assistant.

I said there were no real sources, that Reggie Love did more than walk the dog and believed the story to be exaggerated.

Perhaps you need some sleep.
 
Re: What Sequester? First dog Bo is airlifted to Obama holiday home

The US Report is a compilation of lifestyles of the rich and powerful around the world that tosses off a reference to a $100,000 dog trainer with no legitimate source. The second is a dig at Prince William and Kate's extravagances, and I find no mention at all about Obama's dog trainer.

Fail.

See my post #137 for the sources of this ridiculous rumor over the years.

The facts are, Obama's dog handler does make over $100 K per year. But he's more than just a dog handler, he's Obama's gopher. Probably the highest paid gopher in the world.

Golpher:
n. A low-ranking employee who is made to do the bidding of their superiors. So-called because they are often running around doing various small tasks.

Noun. Someone in a low-rank position. Usually used for low rank tasks. So called because of its sound-a-like to "go-for", as in to go for something, such as to go for coffee.

As many credible news sources have reported, the Obama White House staff is the largest in America's history and the most expensive. All are second rate or incompetent and extremely over paid. A gohpher making over $100 K.

Like I said and I'll say it again, the Oboma's act like they just won the loto. Free money.

Are you going to deny that Obama doesn't fly in his barber from Chicago every two weeks ?
 
Seriously though, is Obama that much of narcissist that he actually name his dog his own initials?

Or it could be the way he smells.

Anyway there is no reason why he couldn't have an American water dog rather than having one from Portugal.
 
Re: What Sequester? First dog Bo is airlifted to Obama holiday home

Laughable

I don't give a crap about Bush. Will you stop with the Bush strawmen please? Thank you! Seriously, we're going broke. This country's spending is out of control. We don't have the money for any of this and Obama is throwing our money around without a care in the world. Obama has added at least 6T in new debt within 5 years.
I don't give a crap that you don't give a crap about Bush. This country's spending is not out of control. We are a rich country and we have hundreds of millionaires in congress to prove it.

Your faux outrage is showing. The debt and the deficit are two different things. lol

If you want to defend Obama's spending then defend his spending. Show us all the jobs we got from that 787B stimulus. Oh wait, there weren't any jobs. Show us the utopia that 6T has bought us. Where is all the promised and projected GDP growth Obama promised? Where is the growing economy? Where are the full time jobs?

I don't know about yours but the 787 stimulus created jobs in my state.....

As the Times reported:

"On Feb. 13, 2009, Sen. Robert F. Bennett, Utah Republican, issued a statement criticizing the stimulus--but two days earlier, he privately forwarded to Mr. Vilsack a list of projects seeking stimulus money. "I believe the addition of federal funds to these projects would maximize the stimulative effect of these projects on the local economy," he wrote.

There is nothing new in this kind of hypocrisy. Since Yorktown, American politicians have been complaining in public about waste and spending, while scheming in private to bring home the bacon....

Why are people losing hours and their HC because of Obamacare?
Obamacare hasn't been implemented yet. So if people are losing hours it's probably because the republicans undermined the unions.

You have no answers to the serious problems this country faces.
Actually, I do but you probably wouldn't like it.

Obama doesn't have any answers either. He looks like a used car salesmen.

I'm sorry but the days of Obama the messiah are over. His record is one of absolute failure. The economic numbers under this President are A DISASTER. Our economy is not producing enough wealth. People are taking on 2 part time jobs just to get by. As we saw in Detroit. The Democrat policies Obama is trying to implement will bankrupt this country. They already are.

He airlifted his dog to his 7M mansion vacation getaway while Rome is burning. Keep defending it. You're only undermining your own credibility.
Rome is in Italy. I suppose Obama could have gone there for vacation...but it's more patriotic if he vacations here at home, don't you think?

A body man is not a gopher, it is the personal aide to the president. A gopher cannot be compared to a personal aide.

It is not a low ranking position.

You say there are many credible news sources that have reported that the Obama White House staff is the largest and most expensive in history, but you seem to have omitted links to those news sources. From what I have read is that the Bush administration was indeed a bit more frugal but he was within 10% of what the Obama white house staff costs.

And so what if he flies in his barber, there is no evidence this is paid by the white house and not by the president. Also, George W. Bush could have kept his barber in Crawford Texas because in 8 years he flew down there 77 times. And 77 times a round trip on Air Force One will have been a bit more expensive that the about 8,000 dollars a year that this barber flying over would cost. In the Bush years the price for 1 hour flying from Air Force One came at around 56,600 and the one way trip to Crawford is approximately 2 hours away, making each trip to Crawford costing the taxpayer about 224,000 dollars a trip.

If the White House foots the bill for Obama's barber flying in, it will cost approximately 8,000 dollars a year including the cutting of the hairs itself. For the entire Obama presidency that would amount to about 64,000.

You're not even debating reality. I feel sorry for you.

You simply do not know the economic facts. It's pathetic.

90% of all jobs created under Obama are part time

Obama's average GDP growth is less than 2%

6 T in new debt within 5 years

55 million on Food Stamps

9 million jobs in the hole. Promised we'd be at sub 6% unemployment right now. Black youth unemployment is more than 40%

We're nearing 17T in debt. As all this is happening Obama is golfing away at lavish vacations and airlifting his dumb mutt to come hang out at the mansion with him. The extent in which Obama sycophants will go to defend their God King disgusts me

Nope, just politicians. :mrgreen:

Peter, I noticed you ignored my question so I'll try again.

What is your interest, as a Dutchman, in this matter?
 
Re: What Sequester? First dog Bo is airlifted to Obama holiday home

The Obama's lived in a Hyde Park condo that was worth $277,500 in 1993 and they sold it for $415,000 in April 2005. It was located in the Kenwood area:


Yeah, really sounds like the Hood where young kids are being shot.


Looking at this statistic the Obama neighborhood seems pretty safe to me.

Neat graph. Ever actually set foot in Chicago?
 
Re: What Sequester? First dog Bo is airlifted to Obama holiday home

That's not the point. The point is that a lot of the American people are still hurting, and here's this guy going on expensive vacations, having lavish parties with celebrities, etc. :roll:
Why should Obama care what butt hurt conservatives think? Maybe if they got off their butts and actually got a real job they wouldn't be hurting so much. :lamo

He could always take cheaper vacations.
Where do you think Romney would have vacationed? The south of France, perhaps? :lamo

Clinton used to go Martha's Vineyard for vacations, too. So did JFK. Thats where democrat presidents go for vacations...so get used to it because I'm sure there will be plenty more democrat presidents in your lifetime. :lamo

Anyway, it's probably cheaper for him to vacation there than anywhere else because it's only accessible by air or boat which means it doesn't cost as much for the security. Not to mention it's closer to DC which saves gas. Feel better now? Or do you wanna know how much his underwear costs, too? :lamo

Are you actually laughing at your fellow Americans who are hurting and can't find jobs because of your hyperpartisanship? :shock: WoW! You are frigid aren't you!

Where do you think Romney would have vacationed? The south of France, perhaps? :lamo

LOL! This comment reeks of pure desperation. ;)

So what exactly is your point here?

At least I don't take my partisanship out on people's pets and their children. Burrrr. .

LOL! This comment reeks of pure desperation. ;)
But it's true. lol Say, wasn't Romney your governor? I'll bet he went on a lot of expensive vacations on your dime.

So what exactly is your point here?
Exactly what it says. lol

LOL! Link please!
Are you serious? Well, if you must know he probably buys them at Target which should make you very happy. :lamo
 
Re: What Sequester? First dog Bo is airlifted to Obama holiday home

OMG, not the president's excessive vacation spending thread again. Every four years we have these threads.

When did you ever see a president and family stay in a Motel 6 in your lifetime? Of course it is going to costs thousands.

Everytime a president has to use a toilet to take a dump am certain some taxpayer's money is used to pay for a secret serviceman to take a dump first to make certain there isn't a bomb.

You can go back to the time when Nixon turned on the air conditioner in the summer just so he could like a fire in the fireplace. Whine on.

Oh but you do. You just laughed at people who could not find jobs and therefore maybe cannot feed their pets or their children. You're a real charming gal! :lol:

But it's true. lol Say, wasn't Romney your governor? I'll bet he went on a lot of expensive vacations on your dime.

Again, this comment reeks of desperation too. You have no point, so you have to bring up someone who is not even occupying public office right now. Ridiculous!

Exactly what it says. lol

In other words, another stupid comment. :mrgreen:

Are you serious? Well, if you must know he probably buys them at Target which should make you very happy. :lamo

Linky?

Gosh, you're right. We should stop all this nonsense, and just let the prez spend whatever he wants on whatever he wants because....after all.... he is the prez. Who are we to whine, after all? It's only our money, right?
 
Re: What Sequester? First dog Bo is airlifted to Obama holiday home

My husband has been out of work and has struggled to find a job and I don't begrudge a president and his family a nice vacation. No matter who that president is or was. I can't imagine the stress and think they do deserve something extra for what they have to deal with day to day.

After all, being realistic it's going to cost me personally, at the very highest estimate, not more than $5.00.

Well, you don't speak for everyone else. Also, he could take a cheaper vacation. Didn't the president actually at one time ask Americans NOT to waste their money in Vegas? Hmm. He's an interesting one that's for sure. :roll:
