FLEW. Past tense. Bo's in Hawaii. Either Obama lied, or he had Bo flown back at taxpayer expense for a smarmy, manipulative photo op.
You do realize that a White House correspondent is not a staff member of the Obama's, don't you?*

So, where is that statement from Michelle Obama's office that Bo is, or was, in Hawaii on this trip, as you claimed?

*I really don't think you do.

If taxpayer funds were used just to fly back the FDOTUS doesn't that warrant scrutiny?

Who says they did?

When you actually get some FACTS to back-up your version of events, let us all know, 'kay?

Cause right now, the whining based on supposition is getting pretty thin.

AND we have eyewitnesses in Hawaii, quoted in a Hawaiian newspaper.

Obama is lying. He went for the smarmy, manipulative photo op and got caught.

From the same paper that stated Obama was born in Hawaii...lol

Michelle Obama and daughters on low-key Kailua getaway - Hawaii News - Honolulu Star-Advertiser
A neighbor, from a distance, saw a dog being walked. ASSUMED it was BO, and couldn't possibly have been mistaken. Right? That's your evidence. The sum of your evidence? Wow. Pathetic.

The Obama's have been given an unearned free ride via affirmative action their entire lives. What the heck do they care spending taxpayers money to fly Bo back to DC for a lame Photo Op.
