Americans can go to bed with a story to warm the cockles of their hearts tonight. First Dog Bo has been successfully transported to join the First Family on their well-deserved vacation on Martha's Vineyard.

Bo was transported from Washington to the island on board a specially modified Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey. For security reasons similar to those of Vice President Joe Biden, President Obama and First Dog Bo cannot travel on the same aircraft, thus making a separate flight necessary.

While some might consider using a $69.3 million aircraft to transport a dog a bit extravagant, it must be pointed out that this was paid for with taxpayer money, not from the First Family's accounts. Neither President nor Mrs. Obama are spendthrifts and are very careful with the family's budget.

It is important that Bo accompany the First Family on this vacation, which the President surely deserves after all the hard work he has put in over the past few days. The president recently returned from a tortuous tour of speech-making, some of which were delivered in benighted flyover places like Tennessee.

He has been working hard to live up to the promise that “as long as I have the privilege of serving as your President, I'll spend every minute of every day I have left in this office doing everything I can to build that better bargain for the middle class and make this country a place where everyone who works hard can get ahead.” He deserves some time off after a speech like that, don't you think?

That's where Bo comes in. After all, what's a week in a $7.9 million, 5,000 square foot mansion without your best buddy to romp and play with across the nine acre estate? And besides, Bo might get lonely with just the White House Staff to feed him and care for him during the eight day vacation. Nobody wants Bo to be sad, do they?

So tonight when you come home from work and slip off your shoes and sit down with a nice glass of generic soda pop, don't forget to raise a glass to Bo, the faithful companion, and his Master, as they get some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Then smile, knowing that your tax dollars made this touching moment possible.

Bo: "I don't often go on vacations, but when I do, I fly on a specially modified Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey helicopter and you pay for the whole thing."

If Romney had been elected...

Bo Doggy
sung to the tune of Richard Cory

They say that Bo the doggy owns one half of this whole town,
With political connections to spread his wealth around.
Born into society, a president's only dog,
He had everything a mutt could want: power, grace, and style.

But I, I work in the democratic party factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Bo the doggy.

The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes:
Bo the doggy at the opera, Bo the doggy at a show.
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got.

But I, I work in a USA that's turned into the democratic party factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Bo, the president's doggy.

He freely gave to charity, he had the common touch,
And they were grateful for his patronage and they thanked him very much,
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
"Bo the president's doggy went home last night and put a bullet through his head."

But I, I work in the democratic party factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Bo, the president's doggy.

Haliburton! Lenin curse your eyes! It is NOT FAIR pointing ou that Bo lives (and probably eats) better than the Middle Class the President pretends to give a fat rat's ass about!

And as always, thanks to the boys down in AgitProp (but the original photo actually WAS Bo arriving....).

Just to prove Dear Leader is thinking of we-the-peasants:

Daily Caller Obama has complained about the sequester spending-cuts in several recent speeches.

“Hardworking folks are getting furloughed, families getting by on less, fewer ships available for your training exercises, the commissary your families rely on closed a day a week,” he declared in a campaign-style Aug. 7 speech delivered to U.S. Marines.

“We can do better than that. That's not how a great nation should be treating its military and military families,” Obama declared.

To protest the sequester, Obama also shut down tours of the White House.

“Due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration, we regret to inform you that White House tours will be cancelled effective Saturday, March 9th, 2013,until further notice,” says a recorded statement by the White House's visitors office.

The presidential dog, cat, and goldfish.

Congratulations People's Cube!

I believe this is the first time I've seen one of your articles Listed on https://www.memeorandum.com/

We've hit the big time…. Sort of

I hope Bo leaves a pile at Letterman's. Dave would be honored.

To which B.O. are you referring? (Either way, the statement remains true, though.)

This story is now in the Washington Times:

Presidential dog Bo supports middle class from Martha's Vineyard

When elderly members of the proletariat find themselves purchasing dog food for meals,, it'll cheer them up no end knowing that Fearless Leader always has his pooch at his side.

COOL!

Attaboy Ivan!

Comrade Brain in a Jar... While it does warm the cockles of my socialist heart to be with my comrades once again, following yet another extended AWO....working vacation, I feel obligated to point out that you perhaps missed an important point. Just when was the last time you traveled to a run of the mill, middle class get away such as Martha's Vineyard on an Osprey? These monstrosities are way too loud for a dog's sensitive hearing, and they are always either too hot or too cold for an esteemed pooch such as Bo. Do you know why he was forced to travel in such austere fashion? I thought not! Bo was placed in this unbearable situation, and most dangerous one at that, because of the sequestration forced upon the American people by misguided Rethuglican billionaires! But Bo bravely endured this to set an example for the millions of other Americans forced to do without food, healthcare, jobs, and upgrades for their ObamaSmartPhone! That is the story we need to put out Comrade.

Screw Capitalism

I suppose the picture above falls under the Don't Ask Don't Tell doctrine? Or is that a female bull (for you city slicker comrades)?

Comrade The Bad Butcher, it appears you may be onto something - the first family is gonna need more Ospreys...

What I don't understand is - with the First Presidential Dog named after Barack Obama (Bo) - how did FLATUS manage to not have this new one named after him? It IS all about Him, you know.

Marshal Pup, so good to see you back among the collective, and I thank you for a dog's-ear view of the real culprits here. Imagine the gall of some people who would object to using the Osprey lift, and them not knowing the awful truth behind the need to do so...and who to blame for it.

Thank you Comrade Betinov. I am most content to be among the collective once again. I discovered I have a lot of work to do. I must admit to be a bit relieved that I had only dropped down to #3 on the total post list, not far behind the Glorious Red Square himself. But I have fell far behind my comrade Father Prog. I remember the days when I was the most equal of equals on that list. But I am sure with some hard work, key donations here and there, and some good old denunciations and blackmail, I can return to my former heights in the collective. May Marx help us all.

I think there's a typo in the tritter announcement by FLATUS. Shouldn't that be "Sunni" instead of "Sunny"?

Ahhhhh, leave it to a brain in a jar to discern the hidden meanings!

I KNEW it had to be named after B. Husseinovich Obama somehow!!
