Was Obama’s Dog ‘Bo’ Flown in From Hawaii for Presidential Photo Op?
Was presidential pooch Bo Obama flown in from his Hawaiian vacation early to pose for a photo op with the president at a local PetSmart store? White House Dossier reports that Bo showed up at Obama’s side Wednesday shopping for dog treats at PetSmart.
But, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, Bo had in fact flown to Hawaii with Michelle Obama and her daughters. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser even quoted an eyewitness who said he had seen the Portuguese Water Dog being walked in the tropical paradise.
So why was Bo posing for photo ops in D.C. with the president?
WH Dossier attempts to make sense of it all:
Either these reports are mistaken, or Bo was told his vacation was over and that he had to return
to the White House to keep a lonely president company – and participate in a silly photo op presenting Obama as an average guy who likes to head out to the PetSmart.
If Bo returned from Hawaii, who paid for his flight?
It’s possible he hitched a ride on a return flight of the Air Force plane that brought Michelle from Hawaii, which wouldn’t have really added much to Michelle’s more than $100,000 price tag for her solo trip.
Or maybe he commandeered his own Air Force jet.
This is not the first time, however, that the Obama’s have attempted to appear as “ordinary people” by shopping at local retailers (despite the cadre of Secret Service following in tow), thus the idea that Bo might have been flown in specially for a photo op with the president is not neccessarily far-fetched.

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 2:53amWell … Glenn Beck …
will you FINALLY admit having an American President without an American birth certificate is NOT a good idea? We ended up with a thievin’ black ******* / trailer-park white trash in a single Kenyan half-breed package. (Let’s thank Congress, too, for LETTING IT HAPPEN without a peep.)
From YouTube:
* AP declares Obama Kenyan-Born (And 2008 AP Story Repeats the Claim)
http://thepostnemail.wordpress.com/2009/10/14/ap-declares-obama-kenyan-born/
“What most people know is that the Associated Press (AP) is one of the largest, internationally recognized, syndicated news services. … in a syndicated report, published Sunday, June 27, 2004, by the Kenyan Standard Times, … ‘Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.’”
* The mixed-race Kenyan called Barack Hussein Obama, A.K.A. Barry Obama, A.K.A. Barry Soetoro (that’s right, illegal alien).
http://www.obamacrimes.com/
The OBAMACRIMES website (and the lawsuits to force the production of Obama/Soetoro’s withheld birth certificate) “was created after research indicated that Barack Obama is not a ‘natural born’ citizen or a Citizen of the United States as required by the United States Constitution to be eligible for the Office of President.” -attorney Philip J. Berg (registered Democrat)

Posted on December 22, 2011 at 11:12pmBarack doesn’t like Camp David because it is too rustic and Barack’s ego needs constant sustenance. Michele is from south Chicago and prefers urban decay to natural environment. Camp David doesn’t have room for support staff and servants. Barack’s mother-in-law may have to make her own sandwich.
BTW. The fact that Barack has a dog proves he cannot be a Muslim. Mohammed, the most merciful, declared all dogs were unclean and should be murdered. Mohammed, may he rest in peace surrounded with a multitude of virgins, changed his mind and decided that all dogs were unclean but only the black dogs should be murdered. The saliva of dogs is really unclean. You probably won’t see Barack getting any doggie kisses anytime soon.
