From Frontpage magazine: Obama Uses Advanced MV-22 Osprey Marine Tilt Rotor Vehicle to Ferry Dog on Vacation in Martha’s Vinetard.

Obama was sending for Bo

An Osprey was rearing to go

The sequester, who cares?

Call him out no one dares.

He squanders what’s left of our dough.

Here is Obama on vacation:

No worries about sequester, debt limit, budget, IRS, Benghazi, snooping, joblessness, the economy, international relations, only golf and leisure. Believe it or not, this is an official photo.

This is the dog Bo doing his thing on the White House lawn.

Here is an early crash of the Osprey Tilt Rotor vehicle.

The Osprey started development in 19 with a development budget of 2.5 Billion dollars. 55 Billion dollars and 35 fatalities later, during which time it earned the nickname “The Widowmaker” it was ready for deployment. Each MV-22 Osprey costs 65 Million dollars and 11,000 dollars an hour to operate.

It is now a safe vehicle for its intended purpose, but is far too expensive to use flying from airport to airport. It is ideal for use by special forces to defend or  evacuate people from embassies and consulates like Benghazi, so in true style Obama in 2009 cancelled an additional 11 Billion dollar order for more Ospreys, but allocated two of them for his own entourage.

As an engineer I love the Osprey challenge, having an extremely challenging flight envelope. It is now solved, and we will need a strong military. The need for Ospreys is great since now embassies by the dozen are at risk, Ospreys are needed by the special forces. Let Obama’s advance teams and Bo go by car.
