Dogs aren't part of the family no matter how many weak people want to say they are.

Fur babies. Ugh. They are animals. Keep them at home like most frigging people.

EDIT:

Example: If my son bites my other son he gets in trouble. If my dog bites my son he gets his neck broken.

You don't actually own a dog, do you?

I sure hope not.

I've always wanted a mastiff, but I get too attached to my pets and I can't own a dog with such a short life expectancy. They are beautiful dogs though. A friend of mine had one and she was a big baby. She thought she was a lap dog. I currently have two lab mixes.

That's what I was thinking. How did this cost anything?

She's an Italian Mastiff, so she's more athletic than other mastiffs, lives longer on average, but she's not as big.

I'm not sure why the staff needed to be there on vacation with them. If it's common practice to fly in a literal plane-load of people for Presidential vacations then I suppose there isn't much to argue. But I'd guess that it isn't that common.

They call them "vacations," but the President of the United States does not ever really take a vacation.  They may change their location, but they are always on duty, working.  That's probably why some of the staff went along.

Nice. I love it when anyone refers to someone's physical appearance from the anonymity of a keyboard. If only spouse photos were required avatars.

Is that different from those “Orange Emporer” comments?

Michelle is ugly, and Trump is orange. Some things just are what they are.

Orange isn't an insult, it's an observation. The man has all the resources of the world at his disposal, yet still wakes up in the morning, sees what he sees in the mirror, and continues to be orange.

it's easy to call someone ugly when we don't have a picture to see if there's room to talk.

Why is this a story? The family went on vacation and took the dog. He's part of the family too.Whether or not the dog flew with them or separately is meaningless. Where's the controversy?

You don't think the cost of a separate charter flight just for the family dog at the taxpayer's expense is of concern?

You think it's OK to fly your dog to vacation with you while paying with someone else's money? 

Look, I don't care that Obama wants to vacation, but why the hell does a dog need to vacation with him?

---

The dog is part of the family. Period.

Dude, I have 3 myself and love dogs. My 110 pound mastiff sleeps with my wife and me every night. 

You don't fly in a dog on tax-payer money, and you don't fly in staff members so you can get your dog there too.

There is no proof the plane was scheduled specifically for the dog.

My being the ugliest man on Earth doesn't make her any prettier, only tequila can do that.

It's nothing at all like people who live incredibly lavish lifestyles telling us plebes we have to give up our luxuries to stop the apocalypse, that's called hypocrisy.

Sometimes it's more than just tequila that makes a woman prettier, proximity to closing time can be a huge factor.

You call him the Orange Emperor. This isn't used to flatter him. As dumb as that orange tan looks, he thinks it looks fine or he wouldn't do it. You and I both know that it's an insult on his appearance in the same way calling Michelle ugly can be considered one. 

You're right it's easy. There are normal standards for beauty. Michelle doesn't meet those.

You may know it, I don't. I'm just pointing out his orangeness, you're the one equating it with an insult. As you said, his orange tan looks dumb, but he chooses it. What can Michelle Obama do about her looks, and how is your childish observation about something she can do nothing about make you feel better when you choose it to insult?

Define beauty. Is a good mother, loyal wife beautiful? She's so smart, dumber wives plagiarize her speeches.

Do you think everyone on the internet is stupid? Orange Emperor is not a friendly nickname. You took his appearance and used it to insult him. 

If I were to call you a handicapped liberal, would you feel as though I'm demeaning you or simply noting an observation? After all, I'm just pointing it out. I'm not even sure you believe this excuse or you're just trying to justify what you said. 

You're just pointing it out, but you agree that it's dumb. And you aren't insulting his appearance... ?

I don't know what she can do about her looks. Being able to change's one's appearance hasn't been a requirement for beauty. This is something you're using to reach your own conclusion. Being a good mother and loyal wife make you a good person. It doesn't make you beautiful. Since you're changing the way words are used, I'm sure you do though.
