Sequesters Are Just For The Little People
Obama's dog gets "his own state-of-the-art aircraft," writes Nick Allen in the Telegraph/UK, as he's airlifted to go on vacation with the family in Martha's Vineyard.
Oh, and:
Rooms have to be found for dozens of Secret Service agents, someone has to carry a selection of presidential basketballs.
Sometimes, in a tough economy, Americans have to make sacrifices.
Do let me know when the Obama family plans to join the rest of us in that.
I've heard quite a few people lament how disconnected Bush, McCain, and Romney were from the plight of the little guy. And all the lamenters voted for Obama. Twice.
Crazy.

The guy names a dog after himself, and you are still surprised by what anything he does?

Presidential basketballs?
That kinda reminds me of that Pizza Hut March Madness commercial a few years back in which the guys were lacing up their shoes and joshing each other. They had the shoes, they had the attitude, they had the skills, but if you're gonna play the game, the voice over intoned, "you're gonna need a ball," to the image of guys standing around the court looking at each other.

Let's see, the Osprey costs about about $9,520 per hour to fly.
Meanwhile a C-37 (Gulfstream G-5 (usairforceny.tripod.com/id47.htm)) costs about $1,772 per hour. So they spend thousands more to fly the dog.
Meanwhile, why couldn't the fucking dog fly to Martha's Vineyard with the family? Poor fucking planning? Stupidity? Arrogance? Because the dog couldn't be put in a dog carrier and shoved on Marine-1 ahead of time?
Meanwhile The Anointed One complains that we aren't paying a fair share? Copulate him and the equine he arrived on, and the canine too.

When the boss wants a "talk" with you, he calls you to HIS office. It's a way to express power.
A trip to Martha's Vineyard is no vacation for Obama-- he goes there to meet with his bosses: the banksters who REALLY run the country.
