Bo Obama was supposed to be in Hawaii. Instead, he showed up at President Obama’s side Wednesday shopping for treats at PetSmart
According to Michelle Obama’s press office, the first dog was planning to go to Hawaii with the first lady and the Obama daughters. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that he in fact had gone there. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser quoted an eyewitness who said he had seen the Portuguese Water Dog having his walk.
So what is Bo doing back in Washington shopping at PetSmart?
Either these reports are mistaken, or Bo was told his vacation was over and that he had to return to the White House to keep a lonely president company – and participate in a silly photo op presenting Obama as an average guy who likes to head out to the PetSmart.
If Bo returned from Hawaii, who paid for his flight?
It’s possible he hitched a ride on a return flight of the Air Force plane that brought Michelle to Hawaii, which wouldn’t have really added much to Michelle’s more than $100,000 price tag for her solo trip.
Or maybe he commandeered his own Air Force jet.

Maybe Bo filled in for a wizzo on a DC bound fighter.
The Pets Mart dog sure doesn’t look like the same dog.
Drudge has two stories running about the dog. One link shows a dog with one white and one black paw. The other link shows the dog having two white paws.
Thanks, Keith. This should be good :)
In replying to myself, I was right!
It would be no big deal to have to “alike” dogs. In fact, dogs like other dogs for company.
If it’s true, tho, sure shows the show-biz smarminess of the Barry & Moo Show.
It would be no big deal to have “alike” dogs if they showed up together before this event. Having this simultaneous appearance of the dog and his double makes one wonder if they rented a Washington, D.C., “Bo” to have a photo op with BO.
And that, if it is true, is very odd behavior.
Cantor was funny–he said bring the dog up here and talk to us–we like dogs.
President Photo-Op.
Another useful idiot outing himself.
At least something got accomplished.
Snowing the middle class with a permanent 17$ monthly fee on ALL middle class homeowners to give Americans a temporary 40$ FICA holiday.
You bought hook, line and sinker.
Dictators and tyrants usually bribe the people with their own money…. Just Sayin’
“Just sayin’”
You know, that has to be the most overused saying on any of these site boards,
“Just sayin’” = “Hey, guys… look, I made a funny!”
Wow.
Please – feel free to move on from middle school
Even more eloquence.
Lovely.
or don’t.
Quiet you pedantic tool.
Oh Cheryl you’re SOOOO mature!
SOOOOOO mature.
hey California Girl, like, well, like, stuff it.
Lol, all of you are acting like you’re 5 years old.
Like totally.
You’re an idiot; just sayin’…
The fact remains, however, you did buy into it Hook, Line, and Sinker, you ignorant Simp!
Corey: You don’t see that inconvenient little fact anywhere, do you? To pay for this 2-month temp tax holiday (that robs the coffers of SS), ALL homeowners will get a new mortgage tax. I’ll bet that’s not a 2-month temp tax. Somewhere I saw it was “$40 per payday for those making ~50K”. “Per payday?” Those that don’t bother with research might imply it meant a weekly paycheck or $40X4 = $160/month. Actually, from my understanding, it’s 2% of your income. So if you make $50K/yr. your ‘savings’ would be $19.23/week. Obama doesn’t bother to explain that the savings he’s talking about based on a $50K salary, would be a biweekly paycheck. This community organizer ‘misleads’ at best.
MaryA.
There are some that Flunked their GED,so that eliminates them from understanding your Post.
Those who flunked their GEDs are without a doubt Obama voters!
Actually what happened to the elite educated liberals you were complaining about a few years ago in their liberal universities?
You are no Voice of reason, you are a Coice of Division.
You post the same old BS day after day in your life complaining about “liberals”.
Lets get one thing clear, Liberals , just like Conservatives have their own nuts.
Difference is that Conservative nuts bend over, spread their ass checks and say hey rich men, stick it in!
They work in colleges and universities on the gov’t payroll. They don’t understand how to operate a business and aren’t driven by incintives like those of us in the private sector because many are tenured. That said, the Democrats rely on the idiots to win elections.
And as you said, since the money is coming from a bankrupt government program (SS), it will have to be paid back. The Republicans painted themselves into a corner by agreeing to a FICA tax holiday? How stupid is that?
“The Republicans painted themselves into a corner by agreeing to a FICA tax holiday? How stupid is that?”
Not as stupid as the Democrats letting them off the hook. This isn’t about taxes. It is about Democrats appeasing their environmental base by not letting Keystone go through.
His followers only hear “free money from obama’s stash!” and they don’t bother to stop and think of where it comes from.
And they don’t care.
Well, many think it’s coming from “the rich.”
Or taxing “evil things.”
They don’t really care, as long as their misconstrued view of Robin Hood is acted out by the current “thief in chief.”
spot on Corey,spot on.
Shows you can’t do math and just parrot what the Lame Stream Media print. First, it is not on ALL middle class homeowners. If you don’t purchase or refinance your home there is no fee. Second, the percentage is 1/10 of 1%. On a $200,000 home that works out to $200 over the life of the loan. If you finance the home for 30 years you would divide $200 by 360 or about 55 cents per month plus interest. What the reporter did was divide the $200 fee by 12 to come up with the $17 per month figure.
You couldn’t be more wrong. The g-fee is not an origination fee….it is tacked onto the interest rate. The first year, the fee is about 200, You keep paying that .1 percent fee until the loan is paid.
Shows you can’t parrot left wing talking points and understand finance at the same time.
Like what wasting more taxpayer money for his own pleasure, surprised the photo wasnt taken on the golf course
It may have. They photoshopped an entire Detroit manufacturing plant behind his majesty a couple months ago.
Nope, came from the Telegraph UK:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/8834859/White-House-accused-of-Barack-Obama-green-screen-trickery.html
I mean, it looks like a greenscreen job on the face of it, the shadows do not line up and the jaggy around him is just stunning.
Idiot ,all libs are so dumb , stupid, and just up the prez’s rectum.
Pro Tip: if the “something” is detrimental to the well being of the country like 9% unemployment, the first ever downgrade of US credit, violate the war powers act, stopped deporting illegals, orchestrated selling murder weapons to Mexico, telling a company where they can build their plant, golf more than 80 times in his first 2 years…”something” like that is not good.
No it’s not, don’t be stupid.
Hey Ed, it’s not 2008 anymore.
Jag, the mission was accomplished. No more Saddam and a working democracy until Obango pulled out for a cheap political photo op.
Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” speech was given on May 1, 2003. Saddam wasn’t captured until December 13, 2003. The mission was not accomplished by any definition.
alRIGHT already! Bush hasn’t been president for 3 years. how long are you people going to keep slamming him?
after corpse-man, speaking Austrian, the English Embassy, and all the other Obama gaffes, there isn’t much daylight between “the dumb guy” and “the smartest president ever.”
I’ll keep slamming him as long as people keep defending him and re-writing history to paint him as some stupid war hero.
Our economy was going full-steam ahead toward disaster when Obama took office after 8 years of major tax cuts, a housing bubble, and MASSIVE war spending. Just because Obama inherited a pile of garbage and hasn’t dealt with it well doesn’t mean we can just pretend like the previous 8 years under Bush that set the foundation for this mess just didn’t happen.
And why was there a housing bubble? That is really what caused the whole collapse after all.
And what caused that? how about wonderful congress men Dodd and Franks in the 90s, followed up by the dem congress in 2006 passing further regulations to back so they had to give out high risk loans.
Send blame to where its due. The economic shit hole we’re in now is due to dem congressmen, not bush.
You can blame the wars on bush all you want, but at the time we invaded the whole nation, including dems, was behind it.
Soooo… our economy collapsed because of democratic congressman, not Obama. Got it. Thanks.
Dems “forced” banks to give risky high-profit loans… ooooooook.
By the way- Obama was one of the only ones against the Iraq war (you guys like to forget that one).
Right, being a normal hypocrite considering he continued the war in Iraq after being elected instead of ending it. Sure he pulled some troops back, but he put more contractors in than he pulled out….
You, my friend, are the one trying to rewrite history. Spending bills are passed by Congress, not by the Executive branch. Democrats had full control of Congress the last two years of Bush’s presidency (January 2007-December 2008). The Democrats had full control of Congress in Obama’s first two years in office, and not one single bill was passed to fix the economy during that time. The Republicans regained control of the House in January 2011; however, the Democrats still control the Senate.
The housing market was doomed once the Community Reinvestment Act was kicked into gear by one William Jefferson Clinton. Your hero, the omnipotent Obama, was a lawyer for ACORN in 1994 when he sued Citibank to force the bank into making home loans to people who could never repay them.
Maybe if you could clear the BDS cloud from your eyes and do a little research you would learn the truth.
Excellent Post Susan, unfortunately Liberals hate the truth, so they will just call you names….been battling them for years!
Unemployment was at 5% when obama took over. yep, disastrous and obama fixed it, right Matt Damon?
How much money did obama make off the Solyndra bundlers before he gave them $535million that disappeared?
how much money did obama get from the bundler that started Lightsquared and then how much did he give him before attempting to silence the military about it’s failures?
how much drug cartel money has this administration laundered under the DEA?
how many more Americans will die under this administration’s Fast and Furious?
How many civilians have been killed by obama’s secret drones going into at least 6 countries and randomly taking out all in their paths? (last count about one month ago – about 2000 civilians)
How many more countries will obama help to install the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood in, that we now see making things worse than the dictators they had?
Bush was a freakin’ saint compared to this 57 state, is this texas or kansas, Asia or Hawaii, give all asthmatics a breathalyzer, intercontinental railroad-building, fallen soldiers sitting in the audience, military and news corpsemen, free markets have never worked, maniacal fool.
Feb ’09 unemployment was at 8.2%
You are unbelievably stupid! The housing bubble was caused by the CRA put into effect by the first dufus, Jimmy Carter, made worse by Bill Clinton and really took off under Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. Banks were told they MUST make these loans or else they would never be able to open another branch again! The final government tally for the Iraq war (that was voted favorably on by the House and Senate) was $800 Billion, just $13 Billion more than Obama’s Porkulus bill that accomplished NOTHING except lining the pockets of the unions and other “favored” recipients.
P.S. FYI, Obama wasn’t in the Senate when the Iraq vote was taken!.
Don’t forget about the 57 states, either…
@Matt is like Obama, if anything goes wrong or is something he doesn’t like he always say’s “It was the previous administrations fault, not his” He calls it the “Bush Clause”
There were thousands of successful missions completes in Iraq…stupid liberal sheep…
How many of them had presidential carrier landings and big “Mission Accomplished” signs produced by the White House?
The “Mission Accomplished” banner was hung on the aircraft carrier to signify that the crew on that boat had completed their 10-month deployment. It was a party for them. Bush’s mistake was trying to make it a party for him. But, to be fair, liberals have misused that banner for 8 years.
Well, first of all the Mission Accomplished banner was on the ship that was bringing back people who’s actual mission was accomplished. It didn’t have anything to do with Bush and the media made sure it ended up in the pictures so they would have ammunition against him later on. Bush said he didn’t even realize it was there until he saw the pictures.
You lefty tools are amusing to those who think.
The White House had the sign made, and you think the sign had nothing to do with Bush. That’s pretty funny.
http://articles.cnn.com/2003-10-28/politics/mission.accomplished_1_aircraft-carrier-conrad-chun-banner
Glad to see Charm School worked out for ya.
Actually, the mission that was accomplished was the overthrow of Saddam’s regime.
So there.
So there? HA. I guess you told me then.
Idiot! The “Mission Accomplished” banner was placed there by the crew of the USS Lincoln as THEIR mission had been completed and they were on their way back home! The media lied about it since that day! Ask someone who was stationed on that ship and they will tell you the TRUTH!
“Mission Accomplished” referred to the extended mission of the USS Abraham Lincoln. Did you honesly not know that? President
Bush was welcoming the navy sailors and pilots home from their service to our country.
B.S. – It was celebrating the “end of combat operations in Iraq”. What a joke.
It WAS the end of their combat mission in Iraq. They were headed back home, dummy.
Honey Badger
Don’t waste your time. People like Matt have no clue.
“In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.”
YOU are the one with no clue.
In January 2009, Bush said that “Clearly, putting ‘Mission Accomplished’ on an aircraft carrier was a mistake”.
Apparently Bush agrees with me. Dummy.
No Matt, It really was a sign about the return of the USS Abraham Lincoln returning from deployment.. the longest deployment of a carrier since the Vietanam War.
Have you ever been in the military, Matt?
Those banners have been used before when a unit returns. This is a quote from Bush during the speech
“The transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time but it is worth every effort. Our coalition will stay until our work is done.” Does not sound like he thought the misson was finished. You can revise and swalow the bait from other revisionis,t but the facts do not back your argument. Don’t let your brain become a repository for the rantings and ravings of the left and think for yourself man.
“In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.”
Matt, don’t forget the next sentence. ” And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country.”
Right. He was announcing the end of “major combat operations in Iraq” and declaring victory. He even said himself In January 2009, that “Clearly, putting ‘Mission Accomplished’ on an aircraft carrier was a mistake”.
Do you know the diferrence between a battle and a war?
Please do yourself a favor and do some critical thinking.
Read the last quote from the speech that I posted below
So I guess the rest of that sentence should be ignored
“In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.”And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country”
or later in the speech
“The Battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on September the 11th, 2001, and still goes on.”
and later
“The liberation of Iraq is a crucial advance in the campaign against terror”
and later
“The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory.”
and finally
“After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history — you are homeward bound. ”
So you they have accomplished their mission. Please get a clue and quit listenning to shills on the left
Yea, ask everyone who came home last weekend when the “Battle of Iraq” ended.
My bet is is that Matt, like Clinton and Obama, never served a day in any of the US Armed Services. Army, Marine, Navy and Air Force units very frequently display banners to draw attention to the end of a combat deploment. Those of us who served would be happy to direct Matt to a local recruiter. He can then educate himself as to military traditions. Clinton is too old: but Obama could still qualify.
You’re right, I’m not in the military, because I would never risk my life to “liberate” people who don’t want us there in order to defend big money oil interests and keep gas cheap so idiots can drive 11mpg trucks to the grocery store.
I’m not anti-military or anti-soldier. My uncle was an Admiral in the Navy, my grandfather was a Marine on Iwo Jima. It’s a noble service, a sacrifice that they made trusting their leadership to risk their lives for worthwhile reasons. Iraq was a farce from day one, our leadership today has failed our soldiers. So no, I haven’t served.
You are right the leadership we have to day has failed and the sooner we get rid of Obama the better we will be.
Just because family members served doesn’t mean anything. That’s like a racists saying that he is not racist because he knows some blacks. It is only a “Red Herring” in a debate to deflect attention from a flawed argumment. You not serving then you would not know that those banners are used all the time tto attract attention to the end of a mission or deployment.
Bush chose to take us to Iraq under false pretenses. Bush is the one that wasted our soldier’s lives for no reason. Getting rid of Obama won’t change that, in fact every one of the GOP candidates (except Paul) would gladly march us off to more stupid, pointless wars that I would never be willing to die for.
The point of mentioning my family members is that I understand and respect the nature of military service. The fact that I haven’t served is due to my unwillingness to fight for these stupid causes, not because I’m unwilling to defend my country.
Funny thing is, Bush’s press secretary at the time acknowledges that the White House had the sign made because the Navy didn’t have the resources to do it. If these things are done “all the time”, I’d think they might actually have the ability to make their own signs.
http://articles.cnn.com/2003-10-28/politics/mission.accomplished_1_aircraft-carrier-conrad-chun-banner?_s=PM:ALLPOLITICS
Matt, your a delusional useless idiot.
Fals pretenses? Iraq had WMDs. Fact.
Iraq used WMDs. Fact.
Certain memebers of congress, Hillary Clinton included, saw every bit of information about Iraq that Bush did and they still backed him up about invading Iraq.
Now lets compare dems to republicans and getting us into war. Who dragged the US into Korea and Vietnam? Democrats. What about Mogadishu? Democrat. What about Libiya? Democrat.
In fact the only time in recent history when a republican has led us into war is in 1991 against Iraq to defend Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and against Afghnistan and Iraq. And all of those causes have been worthwhile and at the time very popular.
Now whats this about the white house making the sign because the navy didnt have the resources? I know you made the part about the resources up yourself because I know that the navy could have done it, I’m in the military and I know this, also nowhere in the article you repeatedly quote does it say anything about navy resources.
What was said is that the sign was the navy’s idea, and then the white house made it and the navy put it up. Just because someone in the white house had the sign made does not even mean that Bush new about it anyway.
Matt, your uncle was US Navy Admiral who?
None of your business.
Matt, again, so that you might verify your veracity, could you please tell us the surname of your uncle who served as a US Navy Admiral? The number of Admirals, pase and present, is relatively small. I am curious as to the Marine Corps (not corpse as Obama would say) Division your grandfather served in during the Iwo Jima Campaign. Incidentily, the flag raising on Suribachi marked the taking of the hill and not the end of the battle. Get it!
Matt, Are you a conscientious objector or just to affraid to serve and protect your country? I’ll bet if we were ever invaded by an enemy, you would be running to the hills with your tail tucked between your legs.
As for me, I will be out there fighting to repel and kill any invaders and if were to die doing it, at least I would die fighting. I would rather be dead then “red” I love the freedom that we have that was won by our great military and has been protected by our military, including me and will do ANYTHING to keep the freedom we have!!
Matt has revealed himself. Obama or Holder could use another press secretary that does not mind lieing his a*s off. He, also, reminds me of the North Koreans who blubber for their Great Leader. Yes, our own Boy King could make use of his talents.
So you admit you are a coward in a family of heros! Thanks for being honest!
What country’s navy?
“Semper Fi” my friend and thank you for your service
By the way, your boy bush hijacked their tradition with a circus stunt to look like a cowboy and declare victory in a war that wouldn’t end for 8 more years. Hussein hadn’t even been captured yet. He used our sailors as an expensive political stunt, and you defend him. Where is your respect for the military?
Political stunt?
Isnt it the media that chooses what gets emphasized and what doesnt in the media?
So if the media hadnt made such a huge deal about it, it wouldnt really have been a stunt. But because the media chose to blow it up, it all of a sudden it became a silly looking stunt that could then be used to throw at Bush in the future.
Bush didn’t really want the media there ?? That’s rich.
Actually, the weekend following the “Mission Accomplished” showed all the talk shows and approval ratings for President Bush go through the roof. He took training without the press knowing and was able to fly that plane onto an aircraft carrier. It wasn’t until the Tuesday after that the Dems decided to exploit it and turn it around.
Smoked the liar Matt out. He is not as bad as a poser, but he makes family members into posers; he’s still a liar. He does it to try and convince those of us that have defended the republic that he has some credibility in the discussion of the military and it’s mission. Good try, liar.
No it wasn’t, Matt. Combat operations hadn’t ended yet.
Exactly.
Matt you are a joke, it was meant as “mission accomplished” for the crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln CVN 72 for the end of thier deployment and the great job the crew did, but also to all of the ships of the Abraham Lincoln carrier battle group.
“Bush stated at the time that this was the end to major combat operations in Iraq”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Mission_Accomplished_speech
Wikipedia?
You are being serious?
Yea, I couldn’t find Fox News’ coverage of it, which is probably the only source you wouldn’t try to discredit. Everything in there is sourced, this stuff can be found many places. Prove me wrong.
Apparently I spoke too soon:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,85777,00.html
Fool.
Define Major. We were already in Baghdad and now it was a mission to keep the peace. What was the next Major battle that you are implying?
You’re hilarious. As if I’m going to sit here and debate the meaning of “major” with you. Ask the thousands of soldiers killed, maimed, and suffering from PTSD how “major” it was since 2003.
military memeber are injured and killed every day in training enviornments.
While this is tragic, it does not mean that there is any major combat mission going on.
In 2003 after we had sucessfully defeated the Iraqi military, major combat operations had ended.
It wasnt until 2006 in falujah that major combat operations occured again.
I was in Iraq in 2009. I’m a marine machine gunner and did daily patrons in Ramadi. I had several buddies hit by IEDs and another shot in the head. And yet that was not major combat operations.
Just because casualties are happening does not imply that major combat operations are continuing.
We had 135,000 troops there until 2009. That is “major” in my book. Maybe we should ask the Iraqis how “major” it was for them having 100,000+ countrymen killed while we tried to “liberate” them even though they never wanted us there. It’s all b.s. semantics.
I’m very, very sorry you lost friends like that. I wish there was a reason for it, we owed them that much and failed them.
Matt
You’re a idiot..you prove it with each ignorant comment you make.
Great post Perry White! The Bush/America bashers drowned out the truth about the “mission accomplished” over and over.
In January 2009, Bush said that “Clearly, putting ‘Mission Accomplished’ on an aircraft carrier was a mistake”.
Because of people like you.
Ya, because of people like me who actually hold him accountable for the words that come out of his mouth.
Matt,
I am typing slow so you can understand…the Mission Accomplished banner was put up by the commander of the ship that had in fact completed the mission assigned to it.
Because of how it was perceived, Bush stated that the placing of the banner was a mistake.
Shed the ideological blinders and this is a fairly easy thing to comprehend.
Matt, I have been following your posts and finally had to respond to this one. I love how you state you will hold Bush accountable for the words that came out of his mouth. Can you state the same about our current Commander in Chief? (Sorry, Not being Military I better say Obama.) Or is he Exempt?
It was a mistake because people like you took it out of context, after the media took it out of context and spoon-fed it to you. Unfortunately for you, you regurgitate what you read and hear from liberal media outelts and blogs, rather than actually knowing what was going on.
And last I checked, the active military campaign was over by that point, and remaining forces were acting as pseudo-police and anti-insurgency. They were not an actively invading force as they were as they came across the desert in tanks, APCs, and humvees. Look up the word “insurgent” and you’ll see it means “a person acting against civil authority”, and in order to have insurgency, the US forces had to become the dominant power in Iraq first, and that had been accomplished by that point.
In summation, the banner was more about succeeding in occupying the country, not succeeding in that the war was over (since I think this will be more on your level, think about video games: once you beat a mission it says “mission accomlished”–it doesn’t say that when you beat the whole game). However, those banners are used on every ship that returns to port after being abroad in active duty for an extended period of time, particularly when their goal in their tour was accomplished (occupying Iraq).
Last time you checked? Apparently you haven’t checked in a while. Ask the guys who came home last weekend when the “active military campaign” ended.
Bush declared the “end of major combat operations”. That was clearly 110% false. Your attempts to spin it are laughable. Even more funny when you accuse me of relying on “liberal media outlets” to shape my views as you spout conservative backpedaling talking points to defend him.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,85777,00.html
Okay, let’s switch to something more relevant. Do these words mean anything to you?
“Summer of recovery”
The ball of doo doo is in your basketball court, Matt. Can you pick it up by the clean end like Obama wishes he could?
Whtasa matter Matt? Cat got your tongue after ZAFelix mentioned the “summer of recovery”?? Matt, oh Mattie Boy, wherefore art thou, Mattie Boy?
Matt; Why remain silent and be thought a fool,when you can open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Matt, you sound like a broken record. Problem is you have been to busy trying to defend liberal policies, socialist ideas and pretending to be a patriot. When the time comes for you to step up and defend your rights as an American, I am willing to wager you will be on the rear lines once again eager to support those willing to die to defend your rights. I bet that marine in your family weeps in shame when he looks at you.
military memeber are injured and killed every day in training enviornments.
While this is tragic, it does not mean that there is any major combat mission going on.
In 2003 after we had sucessfully defeated the Iraqi military, major combat operations had ended.
It wasnt until 2006 in falujah that major combat operations occured again.

Bush’s fault! When Dems can’t come up with something intelligent like Obama the airhead, then use ” Bush’s fault”. Obama knows what kind of audience he has. DUMBED DOWN AMERICANS. I’m thinking you fit the picture!
50 million strong
big loony bin, doing America in
No, not really.
Better than Bush ..Come of it jerk off. NO ONE believes in Obama anymore except those so immature that they can not accept or admit to being stupid enough to have voted for him and those living off the public tit . Which one are you ?
Jesse, you forgot to mention a few more that still believe in Obama. Here’s more for your list: the Communist Party of America, the Socialist Party of America, the Green Party, and whacked out liberals still living off mom and dad.
Ed is indulging himself in typical Demoncrat Drone-speak. Everybody with a brain knows that the Mission Accomplished banner was for the crew of CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln and not for the entire Iraq War effort. But, send in the left leaning MSM-HSHs (Main Scream Media – Hair Sprayed Heads) who proceeded to erect a straw man argument and repeat it at nausium for the benefit of the sadsack Leftist Drones [like Ed] who needed something, anything to feed their BDS [Bush Derangement Syndrome] and make them feel good about themselves as loyal liege Leftist Drones. Ed is just expressing the typical mental incompetence and criminal insanity that passes for thought in Drone Culture. Forget Zombie Apocolypse, Drone Apocolypse is upon us now.
Where in the Hell were you when Common Sense was passed out.
He was sick the day they taught Common Sense at school.
You seem to forget that president Photo-op has kept all of president Mission Accomplished approach to foreign policy (Guantanamo,Afganistan, Drones,etc..) while trying to demonize it at the same time. Remember it was president Mission Accomplished who set in motion capturing and or killing Bin-Laden.It was thankfully accomplished by president Photo-op.He did not wanted be labeled president “the one who got away”. Losers copy,winners set the trend.
Alright Eddy, I am sorry but we are going to have to send you back to the peanut butter and jelly table so the adults can continue discussing the very real problem of this President’s craven illusion making along with his potential waste and abuse of the tax payer’s dollars. Clearly you have nothing of substance to offer, so be a good little boy and run along.
Is that you Special Ed?
yeah right, Obama is a wrecking ball. A dbag a walking turd. Only as*holes voted for him
Wow, Malaci…..Thats not an AMERICAN name like Jethro, Bubba, or Jesus!
The only wrecking balls are FAKE americans like you, claiming to LOVE america yet all you do day after day is complaine, whine and bitch on sites like this that DRUDGE links you to!
Fuck You and Fuck all of you that spew hate toward Obama every day of your lives.
The guy isnt the best Pres, he isnt even a very good President. But he is better than ANY of the Repub-Teabaggers that ran last time or that are running this time
wow, epitome of a democrat right here.
and this is why we cant give you nice things.
or have intelligent conversations with you.
What makes you think that just because we really really dont like Obama we are fake Americans?
What were you doing when Bush was president I wonder?
Were you complaining all the time about what a terrible president he was?
Im willing to be you were. And yet when compaired to Obama, Bush comes out smelling like a rose.
And I didnt even like Bush.
And in what way could he possibly be better than any of the republican canidates? Every single policy that he has passed and just about every single thing he has done has in some way or another damaged this country.
Hey, Scooter. Take your meds, or a deep breath, at least.
Continue your Obamafellation somewhere else, please.
YOU, Libby are, More proof that an intelligent, positive, informed, debate is impossible with a Liberal, marxist, Socialistic, Progressive, Democrat. Living in the Land Of Oz suits you perfectly. You wear it well.
Libby,,,,We all can see by now that you suck but what I want to know is can you suck and blow at the same time. Like most Liberals can???
Spoken like a true Occupy Whatever nut job. Your profanity belies your lack of intellect. Face the facts, Obama is the worst US president ever, although he might have an equal with Mugabe in Zimbabwe.
Thanks, Special Ed
I see they still allow boneheads to post here, eh ED?
Thank you for proving that liberalism is a mental disorder.
Thanks for repeating tired old child like lines like that.
Liberalism is not a mental disorder.
Following Matt Drudge and spewing negative bullshit day after day like you do is a mental disorder!
Please, Libby,,,, Tell us unwashed and illinformed,all of the positive aspects of Liberalism? Please be specific, as to why it is that a non-progressive is so much behind a progressive in the way the world really operates and how You say it should be.
Hey ED which of the 57 States is Ovomit hoping to win next year??
Hopefully not one with CORPSE MEN. That would be the Chicago area where the dead vote.
Why do you use a mistake in a speech over and over in posts?
So he said 57 states………….Is that all you got?
Bush said the gool me once, shame on you, fool me twice gaff, but only children like you on the left repeated it for 2 years over and over.
Grow up douchebags!
how?
..you really ought to do research on this one, Slick. The sign was put on the carrier returning from the Gulf indicating that it’s role in the attack on Iraq was done; it’s mission was accomplished.
But, then again, you probably thought that “W” took too many vacations and played too much golf.
..jerkwad!
NOT HARDLY!
They are both losers. Who’d have thunk that Obama was Bush’s 3rd term?
Ed the press planted the Idea that “Bush” was saying “Mission accomplished” in Iraq
This is not what the truth is– My Son was on the USS Lincoln at that time and actually got to shake the President’s hand
That day was the END of the Longest deployment for the servicemen on the ship — the Crew and Officers put up that Sign with the meaning that their 11 month mission was a success They didn’t think it would be Used to give a false message–Believe what you like but that is the real story
Doug, you are a liar….spreading Matt Drudge, Glenn Beck, Rupert Murdoch and the Cock brothers lies!
You stay out of this. MR. ED was a horse. Not a dog. Or in your case, a horses @$$
Obama would need to “accomplish” something first. Boy I sure miss Carter now.
No, not better. THIS is as superficial as it gets. Yeah I’m sure he’s such a dog person!…
Ed you may not have noticed, but Bush isn’t President anymore. Get over it.
Really Ed? Do you have any skin the game known as “The United States of America” and the ideals of our Founding like ordered liberty, a free market economy, and individual responsibility? Or are you just another taker who expects me to work my @ss off so your President “Hope and Change” can steal the fruits of my labor and give them to you to buy stuff with?
I don’t know why you ignore the facts. Bush was speaking specifically to the troops on the carrier that were headed home after sucessfully completing its mission. Oh yeah, facts what are those?
better? really? lets see higher unemployment, record debt in record time, more people on food stamps, credit rating downgraded, illegal wars, solyndra, fast and furious.
yep, keep drinking that kool aid son.
Maybe they had Biden don a Portuguese Water Dog disguise……………
LOL!!
You win this thread Sir, well done =)
I dont think it was Biden. This dog was too well behaved. Biden would have piddled on the floor and bit the store employee.
now THAT is funny
Well that would make sense he is Obama B&^ch
There you go, Rick, insulting the intelligence of Portuguese Water Dog’s everywhere. Do you really think dumber-n-dirt Biden could pull off playing a PWD?
Imagine if this was George W. — the MSM would be throwing a fit over even the remote possibility of a “stand-in” dog.
The Press only has problems with stand in turkey’s, not sand in dogs.
The Press ARE stand in turkeys.
Possible explanations:
-Far too much water in Hawaii and furthermore, it was not Portuguese water. Having learned from MRO, he insisted he was going home when HE wanted to go home.
-Bo unexepectedly got Rock Fever and was so dispondent he had to be taken home to DC, the urgency of which required that no expense be spared.
-The dog seen at Pet Smart was a trained canine actor who performed a cameo with the presumption that the lame stream media would never report the seeming contradiction of eyewitness report of Bo’s presence in Hawaii and the simultaneous appearnce of a dog appearing to be Bo taking the President of the United States out to do a little late season Christmas shopping for himself.
-One or the other of the dogs is a Secret Service body-double, the only body-double in fact maintained for the Obama family as he is the only one that almost everyone could be convinced to give a hoot about. Okay, maybe the daughters too.
Not for one single second do I think they (the Obama’s) wouldn’t fly Bo back to DC for a photo op. Hey, it isn’t THEIR money. And if indeed they did ship Bo back, they’ll have to send a second plane for Bo when Obozo goes to Hawaii and he is not allowed on Air Force 1.
And Obama has the audacity to think we should be grateful he is “working so hard” to get us less than $20.00 a week through his payroll tax cut holiday.
2012 cannot come soon enough to get rid of this moocher and his spendaholic wife.
Amen!!
Bo is not the “First Dog”.
Maybe? if the WH “press corps” did some REAL ‘reporting/research/journalism’ they would figure out that “Bo” is nothing but a PROP that the Obama “First Family” mentions or drags out when its helps Pres. Obama…
…the “Obama family” seems too stuck-up & spoiled to have a real ‘family dog’.
Why didnt they have a dog/pet when the “Obama family” lived in Chicago?
My guess is that Barry et al were so beholden to Ted Kennedy that they nearly HAD to accept this dog, which was a gift from Teddy. Furthermore, they now have enough servants to care for Bo so that is really is no inconvenience. That said, I would love to see Barry out picking up dog crap from his yard. Then he an I would at lest have one thing in common.
The only shovel ready job OB would have anything to do with.
I agree. They didn’t suddenly want a water dog, but that’s what Uncle Ted raised and it is supposed to be a breed that doesn’t cause allergic reactions. So they were stuck with the dog. I find it odd that the parents let the kids give the dog their dad’s name. What a strange family.
“Bo” is nothing but a prop for the Obama family… how pathetic.
Can one idiot (Boehner) make another idiot (Obama) look good? I don’t think so, they just both look like bigger idiots, and if you don’t see that practically all the politicians in Washington are corrupt and should be thrown out of office, you jst prove that you’ve drunk the kool-aid!
You’re on to something. If the superposition principle holds for the idiot field (idiot field is produced by idiots and has similar properties to that of an EM / gravity / etc fields) then we can combine the idiot field from Boehner with that from Obama to make a greater idiot field. It would make both appear like even greater idiots than they actually are (this all theoretical b/c the level of idiot approaches infinity w/ those two). If the two were to stand too closely along with Biden and a few other pols (take your pick, any will do), an idiot blackhole could form… sucking in and destroying the Earth! (man, that’s a nerdy pol joke)
I thought Michelle O. was the “first dog”? Hmmf… guess I was wrong.
Yet another intellectually dishonest ploy of Demoncrat Drones is to plead “moral equivalence”. Whenever one of their Dear Leaders does something stupid, unethical, illegal or immoral, the Drones immediatly start stroking the narrative that their guy may be bad but Republican X (fill in blank) is worse. Thus, mentally incompetent and criminally insane Demoncrat Drones erect a designer substitute for ethics and standards with their almost reflux-like appeals to Republican bashing in general and Bush bashing in particular every time Berry the O’s bad behavior becomes worthy of discussion.
Don’t worry about Zombie Apocolypse, Drone Apocolypse is upon us.
You can tell Michele and the girls don’t like the poor thing they had to keep it
cause Ted Kennedy gave it to them or BO would be gone. He’s a prop and we
paid to have him flown back for a $41 picture guess he goes back in storage now. Cruelty to animals if you ask me!
I think Bo the dog will disappear from the family about the time that the Obamas disappear from the White House, just as Socks the cat got socked with homelessness when the Clintons packed their van and moved.
Give me a break. Are you insinuating that Obama flew his dog from Hawaii to DC for a picture at taxpayer expense?
You neocons have no shame!
What’s your explanation?
Yes: That is exactly what is being inferred.
You are a waste of carbon atoms. Go back under your bridge TROLL.
I think the answer is pretty clear. No insinuation needed. Even a liberal could understand the following:
1. Dog was seen in Hawaii with First Family.
2. Later Dog is seen in DC with First Kenyan.
3. Logic states Dog did not swim from Hawaii to CONUS in under two days.
4. Ergo, dog was flown from Hawaii to residence of First Kenyan at taxpayer expense.
Logical to me. But, then I am not a lib and my IQ is 50 points above my body temperature – unlike the typical liberal freezing zone.
Was he listed on the plane’s manifest as a Senior Advisor?
It is not that Demoncrat Drones are stupid so much as they are mentally incompetent and criminally insane.
Don’t worry about Zombie Apocolypse, Drone Apocolypse is upon us.
you are the F.I that , do we really no?
ablecynic…
Thank you for for listing it step-by-step
Logic + common sense = FACT
Maybe the First Kenyan Worshippers (liberals) can comprehend it.
ie: 1 + 1 = 2
Obviously, it’s not the dog “owners?” paying for the expensive bs photo-op.
It’s the taxpayers expense and there is the belief that there is an unlimited supply of taxpayer money forever.
Invoice the First Family for their personal pet transportation cost.
So you Marxists can even lie to yourselves? I don’t think there is any question that he did this. After all, it’s not his money he’s spending….like all Marxists he has no problem spending other people’s cash.
Well, here are the possibilities:
1) The witnesses who said they saw Bo in Hawaii just days ago were lying.
2) The Obamas own two identical Portuguese Water Dogs -maybe you think they had the family dog cloned or something?
3) They put the dog on a jet and flew him 4,770 miles from Hawaii to Washington, D.C.
Or 4) They quickly rounded up another PWD for the Photo-Op from the local rent-a-pooch center.
Don’t worry about Zombie Apocolypse, Drone Apocolypse is upon us.
That’s already covered under possibility number 2. The trouble with that scenario is, unless the Kennedys did a doggy-two-fer, there are too many witnesses who know about the Obamas having two dogs; Bo and Bo’s double. If the dog at PetSmart had trouble answering to the name “Bo”, then that’s the doggy-double.
If it is like other rat travel at government expense, he probably had a huge bar tab on the trip.
Why you think he wouldn’t ?
He gave billions to a company that was going bankrupt .
You liberals are really getting pathetic
Clearly an Obama voter – no wonder he thinks he can manipulate anyone.
A third intellectually dishonest ploy of Demoncrat Drones is to mount the high horse of superior scornfulness and commence to hurl insults. Fortunately they think the term “neocon” is some kind heavy weight insult rather than the limp aphorism that it truly is.
Don’t worry about Zombie Apocolypse, Drone Apocolypse is upon us.
HuffPo contributor – I noticed you disappeared after you attempted to discredit the story by implying evil intent by a large group of people. Since you contribute to HuffPo, you probably don’t know this, but real journalism will rebut with facts, not name calling.
So, as someone else aksed earlier, given that the dog was seen in Hawaii, why is it now shopping with the President? What is your explanation?
This House of Ill Repute needs to be removed from sight.
Clean house in 2012.
When Bush 43 came into office he only had to “clean the carpet” in the Oval Office. This time around it is going to require a much bigger cleaning crew.
I wonder if they’ll leave the gigantic wooden spoon and fork on the wall or remove the plastic from the furniture before they go..
Remember when they asked the Bush’s if they could “move in early?” That was the same time obama (lower case intentional) stood behind the sign that said “office of the president elect.” I knew right then we were in trouble. These people are simply tacky!
Yes, but at least that larger cleaning crew would create more jobs in one sitting than Obozo has created in 3 years.
The White House, Air Force 1, Air Force 2, Marine 1 and everything will have to be “Deloused” when the Obama’s leave the White House and I hope and pray that will be in 2012!
I hope that dog gets love from it’s handlers.. Because it sure as heck ain’t getting any from the Obamas.
Mooching off the people – I’m talking about the “First Family,” not the dog
A body double!
I didn’t vote for obama last time but this time I am gonna vote for him…. I think he is the best thing for America in recent history… WONDERFUL!!! 4 more years and this country will be purged of a corrupt congress and senate because the people are gonna purge every politician out by civil war…. There will be unrest like never seen in America. Because now Americans believe that good is bad and bad is good. Once this country goes even further to hell in a hand basket there will be a purging… When Americans can’t say “Merry Christmas” because good is bad and once they can’t store more than seven days worth of food because good is bad and once they can’t own a gun because good is bad….. There will be a purging of the bad by the good!!!!! So lets pull together and re-elect this person…. OBAMA2012!!!!! ;)
Your very first sentence is an outright lie. Didn’t bother with the remainder.
I saw this same post on another site, What, too lazy or stupi (probably both) to write one that remotely addresses the article? Evidently so
Family pet? I think not. The dog is nothing more than one of Obummer’s countless political props. The dog would do a better job as the POTUS because he would do nothing, and then the free markets would have a chance.
Water dogs are much smarter…
Nice try..but I would imagine that Bo was left behind due to to the INEPTNESS of our “president’s” staff…there is a 120 day quarantine period for dogs and cats coming into the Hawaii.
Nice to see that at least one law on the books is applied to all people…errrr..dogs and cats equally.
That’s true about we commoners’ pets, but Bo gets a Presidential waiver with a rabies vaccine within 90 days of the trip.
oh well…yet another bubble burst.
The dog was flown on our secret SR-71.
Get rid of the dog and the Obamas permanently. They are an excrescence on this society.
oh…let the dog stay.
The “narcissist in chief” even named the dog after his initials! B.O.
Everything this guy does is a photo op for his failing re-election.
Maybe there is another plane that we don’t know about…Air Force Bone.
Maybe like the president’s plane/ helicopter/ limo there are actually two dogs?
Sounds more like pre-planned campaign event, although I wouldn’t put it past the full time campaigner-in-chief to spend $100K to fly little Bo back for a photo-op.
Hope you get to the bottom of this, Keith!
BO has a body double?
A doggy-double!
A doppelpoocher!
A canine-times-two!
I still can’t believe he is so arrogant he named the dog his initials… BO
Arrogance over competence.
Obama initials are for BO as in body odor.
At least that dog is getting more for Christmas than my children are. Life is good if your the Obama dog. My wife just got laid off 2 weeks before Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone.
Eat your peas……….
(You have the mighty Boa’s condolences,,, try to have a Merry Christmas anyway!)
that sucks! you have my condolences. hopefully your wife will be able to find another job soon…
I am sorry to hear it. Perhaps it can be a Christmas of joy anyway. The kids want presents, of course, but what they really want is love in the household. Hold fast to each other, this bad time will pass.
Its just as likely this was a stand in. They borrowed it from some Obamabot and may give it back later. Or they got it at the animal shelter for the photo op and once it is no longer useful, it will be sent back.
These people are out of touch with reality. Really…spending tens of thousands of tax payer dollars for a photo op with Barry….Really???
As the stomach turns………………
Did anyone keep a running tab when ‘Dimebag’ Larua Bush make trips on her own? I don’t really remember constant links to stories on the Drudge Report during the Bush years highlighting the cost of her trips. It doesn’t really matter what the cost of the 1st Lady’s trips. They all travel without their husbands and it has a cost, SO WHAT.
It was done, but Algore’s Internet wasn’t as prevalent a news source as it is today. Nevermind that two wrongs don’t make a right. I understand that in your world of moral equivalence this makes it OK.
So What?
At a time when most american’s are having trouble coming up with $100 for Christmas….it spits in the eye of compassion to flaunt such flagrant disregard for our pain to be doing $100,000 geta ways…don’t you think?
Well, the fact that President Obama signed an executive order to reduce travel expenses should be enough to have every personal travel expenditure reported on and linked to by every news source. That and the fact that the Obama;s children were listed as “Senior Staff” on the Africa trip should tell you that they are pilfering the money reserves when they should be paying out of their own pocket for private trips that are not related to promoting the US and government agendas. When Congress is voting to be able to keep The government running because they do not have enough money to operate should be WHAT enough for your SO WHAT.
YES, people did keep track, and YES, it does matter.It illustrates a mindset that says those ‘in power’ have the right to squander the public funds in what ever way they choose. The nightmare economy we now have to deal with is a direct result of this mindset.
I never can comprehend how anyone with even a pea brain does not GET that millions of families are homeless, millions are jobless, millions more have gone through their life savings, investments and whatever they could pawn to SURVIVE under Obama.
So as far as O and his side arm traveling and spending on vacations over and again.. trips to NY for Dinner on and one.. while so many have lost it all..
So now dimwits, Still care to compare vacations?
I do remember Larua Bushes’ trip to Africa to check on how GWB’s Aids program was doing. They are credited with saving millions of African lives but the liberal progressives spit in there faces. lp’s are horrible, horrible people.
Thanks for the Drone-land perspective there smurfdog old chap. I don’t recall the Bushes retularly taking two sets of planes when they went on vacation. The reason this is being discussed is … drum roll please … because it is news and because it is so clearly over the top abusive. Do as we say, sais Barry and Moochelle but not as we do. The Democrat Party is not really the Democratic Party but rather the Demonic-Autocratic Drone Party.
Don’t worry about Zombie Apocolypse, Drone Apocolypse is upon us.
Where’s Woodward and Bernstein when you need them?
I know it is not an original thought but I am really weirded out that he named his dog after himself.
Thank you for bringing this to light, Keith. Also, congrats on two Drudge links in one day!
As much as I enjoy Keith being linked, I don’t really dig these 700+ threads. I can’t keep up with THST, and I feel like i’m missing out.
that. sorry.
I know, same here. It’s great his blog is getting so much action, but way too hard to keep up.
Hey liberal weenies: Please label all your posts at the top with “Liberal Weenie”, so I can skip reading them and save time. Thanks!
Thanks Susan.
You idiots that put this guy in office should be on the next one way mission to mars.
OWM…..Occupy Mars
Can’t wait for the spin on this one. Will it be picked up by the MSM? No. Would it have been on the front page in the NYT & WaPo when Bush was in office. Hell yes.
What happened to the 6 month Hawaii quarantine for dogs going in to Hawaii. Is Bo exempt? or did he not go?
Interesting point…
Only residents of Hawaii who pre qualify their pets are exempt from the 120 day quarantine, and even then…it is a ’5 day or less’ rule.
I’m pretty sure the Obamas legal residence is NOT Hawaii, Chicago or D.C., but not Hawaii.
“Is Bo exempt?”
Bo has his own Hawaiian birth certificate? *
*Closed Captioning for the Humor Impaired: It’s a joke!
So what is new about all this. Is anybody with half brain not aware that Obama plays his dumbed down americans like s violin. Obama knows that he has the jounalist and media in his pocket. He doesn’t even care if this fact comes out. Michelle also doesn’t care that she spends tax payers money like an Arab king. If there wasn’t so many dumbed down Americans this would not be talking place right now. Put a fork un us, we’re done!
sad..but true.
It’s evident by those who support him and are posting here why he can play them like a violin but It’s unfortunate for our nation the bar isn’t any higher than to allow these people to vote for the most powerful position in the world.
They probably needed to get the dog away from MOOOOOCHELLE…..too afraid she’d eat it!
nah…he’s her secret lover
The sad thing is, if Bo really did go to Hawaii and back, someone within the White House should have stopped and thought about how it might look to the general public, especially since the first dog is racking up frequent flyer miles faster than most humans.
MOTHER #$%&^@!
From the “Star Advertiser” Dec. 18, 2011:
“Michelle Obama and daughters on low-key Kailua getaway” …
Scott Miscovich, who lives down the street from the now-famous five-bedroom rental home on Kailuana Place, said media and security presence in the area has so far been “very subtle.”
“My wife saw Michelle and the kids passing by and we’ve seen Bo (the Obamas’ dog) walking,” Miscovich said. “There hasn’t been much going on so far. It’s been very low-key compared to when the president is here.”
This obama feller makes nixon look like a choirboy.
A choirboy or a naif — BO and his handlers handle everything to their advantage. Have you seen the “Home for the Holidays” section on the barackobama.com site? It is talking points on how to turn the family reunion into your chance argue BO’s policies.
I think it’s a body double.
I bet the President had him flown back by SR 71. I know there’s no evidence of that but that’s more of a reason to investigate it.
Does Bo rack up frequent flyer miles?
Maybe he’s a rent-a-dog or the WH has a body-double for Bo. Either way, it costs a lot more than the measly $40 of our own money that our partying celebrity-in-chief wants to allow some of us to keep.
Come on… why don’t you do some real reporting. Bo took the “first lady” on out to Hawaii and then had to get back to Washington to break the payroll tax deadlock. Believe me, Bo’s got a lot more sense than that two legged being next to him
how can obama dog be in hawaii needs to be quarentined for rabies seeing hawaii has no rabies when i lived their our dog was 90 days in kennel
This is true I have been to Hawaii twice and my Rotties were in quarantine for 30 days at a cost of 500 apiece. There are no exclusions to this rule.
This jack@ss president wants us to all drive miniature wind-up cars to save fuel yet he and his idiot family have wasted millions of gallons of fuel on photo ops and luxury vacations.
I’ve seen third world dictators that squandered less than the royal family in the White House.
