“Bo was anxious to take the controls, and he did a great job,” said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. 

Another source, who asked not to be identified, said that “Bo had no idea what he was doing up there. He stunk up the sky.”

The White House earlier refused to explain why Bo did not fly to Maine with the first family but arrived earlier on a separate plane. “The reason was that the President is afraid to fly while Bo’s at the controls,” said a White House source.
