What did it cost to fly dogs owned by past Republican Presidents or take them to the vet, or take them on vacation...oh I keep forgetting, it's only Obama that gets ridiculed for such behavior. Setting aside the nation dept the past republican president put us in. Who cares about that, it's this dam helo trip I can't get a handle on and the fact it's sooooooooo important an issue.

According to that bastion of liberal reporting, CBS News, the national debt has increased by $6.0 trillion since BHO took office. This is the largest increase in the debt under any U.S. president to date. In the 8 year presidency of GWB, the debt increased by $4.9 trillion.

A truly extravagant waste of money; if it were true.
Which it is not.
A) The dog wasn't flown on an Ospry.
B) The dog was flown on a small jet with staff members who had to go there anyway because Air Force One couldn't land on the runway which is way too short.
C) Get a life!

Change the names and that rumor has been going on since FDR. Total BS.

Technically frank is kinda right about the jet part. the osprey is a turbine jet engine.

Well said Pepper. Outragious that we allow anyone, let alone the president, to squander our tax dollars to fly a flippin dog. When is this crap going to stop. Can't we see that Obama is a lame duck and he and his wife, and now even his dog, don't give a damn about us or the United States. How do we stop it???

Where did you come up with the figure of 11 trillion? Obamalamading has doubled the national debt. How can you rationalize that?

Only $11,000.00 an hour to fly one of those things and we paid for one to fly a dog. Okay you liberals rationalize this one.

If you had actually seen the full report you would have noted that the dog was not the only one on the flight. It also carried other people related to the White House staff. This is a typical example of the left not reporting the whole story and only the part they wanted to proclaim in their own interest.

Boy just think you got a whole bunch of new stuff to bitch about. Townhall is nothing more that another rag that one buys at the check-out stand at the local market.
Why waste our time with this junk? Why not change your name to GARBAGEMAN as it would be more fitting.

Apparently it hasn't occurred to you that much of the current deficit is the result of. G.W. s violation of The U. S. Constitution that dragged the country into the illegal wars against Iraq And Afghanistan .

I actually respect the way Obama does business. Right, wrong or indifferent, don't bother to respond to anyone who questions your actions or motives. Just go and do whatever you want to and pay attention to no one..

Yep. I think many others n history did the same thing and were successful, for awhile. Hitler and Stalin come to mind.

And the Democrats and the Republicans both had his back in both wars. You can not start a war without Congress. The President dose not declare war, Congress does. Section 8 of the Constitution, Congress has the power to declare war. But the President is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

You really should check this stuff out before spreading this kind of fertilizer. Just remember - everything you read on the internet has to be questioned.

You might want to check out the dates there, damurphy. That snopes refutation had to do with a 2010 trip, not the current boondoggle.

Bottom line is Bush got conflicting info from all sides regarding weapons of mass destruction...some advisers said no way, other intelligence said yes...I'm glad he erred on the side of invasion...unlike obammy, and his abortion on benghazi and allowing major hasan to wear his beard during trial because of religious freedom yet a christian soldier was reprimanded for having his bible in open view on his bunk...i'm an atheist and couldn't give a rat's ass about somebody's religious preferences, but you guys on the left are delusional if you think the man in office is qualified to even run a watermelon patch
