   Nj-Aviator, I agree. But yesterday on fox news I saw something I can’t believe. It said Bush took 200 plus days vacation in his first 18 months. That’s over half a year on vacation. I remember his going to the ranch during congressional recesses, but surely we all would remember him taking vacations that totalled over 7 months in his first 18. I certainly notice Obama’s frequent trips, which makes me think the news media is confusing work done at Texas compound is the same thing as flyiong the family to Africa, China, London, Maine, Grand Canyon, Germany, etc. 911 happened during his first 18 months, how could he have taken off for months during that time?

   How many of you have EVER flown on a private jet???

   Obama’s dog gets his own Private jet.

   Obama is beyond corrupt. Way beyond corrupts. Millions of Americans out of work, HIS DOG FLIES on a PRIVATE JET.

   I don’t understand what everybody is whining about. The dog had to stop by a couple of fundraisers on the way, and needed a separate itinerary.

   Just so it’s clear, there was a clarification posted on the Morning Sentinel story. Bo did not get his own plane:

   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.

   Which should have been entirely obvious to anyone, even without the clarification.

   Hey, you meanies are too hard on Barry. I expect he checked the precedents before he did this. He probably saw how Bill Clinton got a WH chef out of bed in the middle of the night to bake Chelsea a birthday cake and then had it delivered to California on a jet.

   *I didn’t double check the facts on this story, but that’s the way I remember it.

   Perhaps the paper could also clarify the comment given by Gov. Baldacci about the size of Obama’s entourage:
   

   The president emerged from Air Force One with a big smile and saluted as he made his way down the steps and was greeted by Gov. John Baldacci and his wife, Karen. … “The president has been to Maine before, but when he gets the opportunity to get outside to enjoy the air, the water and the people, we know they will want to come back again,” said Baldacci. … When asked why the president chose to visit Maine, Baldacci said he learned that everyone in the Obama family had something good to say about the state, and that during the planning, they were hard pressed to find enough seats on the aircraft for everyone who wanted to come along.

   How big does a “presidential party” have to be to really party down? There’s a saying for this type of party — the more the merrier.

   We are in debt beyond anything this country has seen before. Yes, I’m angry about these money-wasting vacations at the expense of taxpayers. So, the fact that additional planes had to be brought in to support Obeyme’s rock star entourage does infuriate me. The crap about it doesn’t matter from Chap does just that—chaps me!

   Don’t be stupid. That “rock star entourage” are necessary security and advisors. And “additional planes” were necessary because they had to fly in small planes because of the size of the runway. This was all explained in the story if you cared enough to read it.

   Remember this graphic?

   Yes. The President travels with a lot of people. They all do. Get the hell over it.

    You’ve got nerve calling anyone stupid, Chapoutier. We’re just posting our thoughts here. Whenever President Bush left the White House to go anywhere, your liberal press had a field day with the details….like why he had other people traveling with him. Save your sactimony for someone else. And, by the way, I DID read the story so don’t tell me to get the hell over it.

    And when those thoughts are stupid, as your “rock star entourage” comment was, I will call them as such. Believe me, no one here has a problem doing that to me when they feel it appropriate.

    Whenever President Bush left the White House to go anywhere, your liberal press had a field day with the details….like why he had other people traveling with him. Save your sactimony for someone else.

    So your real problem is with what you perceive to be a disparity in how Bush and Obama are treated, and not Obama itself?

    And, by the way, I DID read the story so don’t tell me to get the hell over it.

    Clearly you did not, or you would have known why “extra” planes were needed.

    I really don’t care if you didn’t like my rock star entourage comment. You can go back and look at several liberal commentators who have used the word “rock star” when referring to Obama on a number of occasions.
    I really think that any opportunity to show how the liberal press favors Obama over any conservative politician is actually a good thing and don’t care if you don’t.
    I really don’t care if you think I read the story or not (you infer that I somehow couldn’t figure out why “extra planes” were used.)
    You don’t know me. We’re done as far as I’m concerned.

    Chap equates Bush attending an overseas summit with Obama’s vacation in Maine. Very funny.
