What do you think about Obama flying his dog on a seperate plane for vacation?

Is this a waste of tax dollars as this dog could have flown with the Obama family in Air Force One instead of having its own jet? I guess you can spend money like crazy for dumb stuff like this when your spending other people's money who have no say in how it is spent.

Update:

But Malkin's article did site the local news paper that got the information and their are pictures of it, so how is this false? Are you calling the local newspaper that reported this uncredible.

    That sounds fiscally responsible.

    Well, it was the dog plus a load of other people on that plane. The regular Air Force One couldn't land at the small airport in Bar Harbor, so the President and half the usual contingent went in a smaller plane. The extra people went in a second plane. ANY plane the President flies on is called Air Force One: in this case, it was a Gulfstream instead of the regular 747. Hence the overflow plane.

    Michelle Malkin? I wouldn't trust her as far as I can throw her.

    ADDED: The local paper did print a clarification, as they didn't realize anyone would be idiotic enough to take their original report as meaning Bo was flown by himself in his own private jet.

    Reading is fundamental.

    "Clarification: Today’s story about the arrival of the Obamas said the Obama’s dog and one aide arrived on a small jet before the First Family, but there were other occupants on the plane, including several other staffers. The presidential party took two small jets to the Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton because the airport was too small to accommodate the president’s usual jet."

    I would be more surprised if Malkin actually got a story right. People on the right are so blinded by their political ideology that they wouldn't know the truth if their life depended on it. As previously stated, this story has already been debunked.

    Seems to be a political attack more than an actual question.

    Quoting noted conservative political pundit Michelle Malkin verifies it for me.
