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.

Maybe someone will have more info, but I remember reading in some post on FR that they are having a “soft separation”. She’s probably pretty ticked off that he’s polling so poorly and she might have to move back to Chicago.

Has anyone discovered yet which fat cat Democrat donor has footed the bill for this $40,000-$50,000 dollar per week rental Martha’s Vineyard Estate vacation home? The White House is saying that no taxpayers money is paying the rental. There is no way that Obama is paying anything out of his own stash.

Like the birth certificate ... is there a birth announcement?

I'm not attacking the kids, just asking for a birth announcement in a chicago newspaper

Just this year Michelle and Jill Biden launched a campaign for military families. Not only that, Mrs. Biden’s home is in Delaware. Neither one of them had a valid excuse for not attending this solemn event. That said, I tend to agree with you that its better not to go if you’re not sincere about something. That would actually make things worse.

With Michelle’s caboose she probably took a C-130.

with a list of advisors who have been summoned to Marther’s Vineyard for Obama’s ‘working vacation’”””

More waste of tax money & a blockage of available rooms in the vacations area at end of summer.

How many people got bumped out of their long-held reservations to accomodate this ‘advisory’ group.??

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..”””

I also did NOT see any sign of a lapel pin American flag on any part of his bus tour into the Heartland.

I think the kids are theirs, but he’s always been “on the down low”. An oversized, homely but ambitious black woman might have overlooked a lot when a young Obama came courting.

“shared sacrifice” means that moochelle’s plane was not as big as her husband’s.
