What Shared Sacrifice? Obamas Fly 'His & Her' Jets to Lux Vineyard Vacay
Friday, August 19, 2011 | Kristinn

Posted on 08/19/2011 6:55:27 AM PDT by kristinn

The jet-setting Obamas arrived at their $50,000 per week Martha's Vineyard vacation destination yesterday on separate taxpayer provided jets.

The extravagant travel choice flies in the face of Barack Obama's war on private jet owners and his call for "shared sacrifice" to ease the exploding federal budget deficit.

Michelle Obama and the two Obama daughters took what appears to be a Gulfstream jet while the president and family dog Bo flew Air Force One to a nearby airfield and were then taken by helicopter to Martha's Vineyard, according to an account by the Martha's Vineyard Gazette and other reports. No reason was given for the Obamas traveling on separate jets.

Michelle and the girls never travel alone..a minimum of 20 paid staff are usually with them plus their friends and relations.

Did Barry get his wedding ring back yet? I heard both his watch and his ring "are out for repairs". They disappeared right around the time Ramadam began..

but going to Dover AFB to pay respects to the families of our heros is apparently an incovenience for her.

It's better she doesn't go.

Which tells me the reason they are traveling separately is because Michele doesn't want to travel with Barack.

Maybe there is some truth to rumors that they are 'not getting along'.

She must be all medicated and unable to keep with the protocol of a First Lady. Michelle is lazy and never worked anyway. She is not schooled in entertaining other dignitaries and their wives. All she is good for is a burger and fries and a beer.

Nope. I noticed too. A secret trip to see her brother in OR leaked out, and of course she and the family were nowhere near the bus tour.

Then Barry flew alone with Bo on the same day that Shelly and the girls flew in from DC as well?

Sounds like their ‘arrangement’ may be a little strained.

At least we found something Barry and Moochell are good at...taking vacations and eating junk food.

2 reasons in M.O.

1. her freakish dress mode.

2. her freakish mouth statements.

She is an embarrassment to America, as if her husband isn't? lol

At least he does not go around in some outlandish Green pants up his crack wearing a thong while boarding a plane.

What in the world was she thinking when put that outfit on, to embarrass her husband, her children, America? What?

When will their children ever understand the total disaster their parents have brought to America, or will they never know? They can't hide forever.

"Sounds like their ‘arrangement’ may be a little strained."

I've said this many times before;

ozero's a faggot, the wookie a fag hag and the girls (I suspect) are imported.

If I'm anywhere NEAR close ... we are of all (people) most miserable.

On a lighter note did you see the story that Bill Clinton’s says that he’s a “vegan?”

Yep. Got a kick out of that. Very believable from the man who couldn't deny himself anything...even at the expense of his presidency.

Certain he's saying this because he feels it's interesting to young women.

Grow up you can tell those are his girls. Leave the kids out of this crap. The story is about the fact that they continue to waste taxpayer money to jet around the country .

I wonder what the racial makeup of the millionaires and billionaires is. Since Ø is black, (well, half black anyway) dosen’t he have any of “his people” in that crowd? If I was black, I’d sure take offense to the fact that the messiah is always hobnobbing with the rich (and white) elite. My vote might go to someone else.

Seperate jets is the Economic Messiah’s version of flying smoking and non-smoking.

Don’t buy your spoiled child a Vader bus, in the morning he’ll be bored with it...
