  • lol the president of the united states should be worried about the american economy. not showing off his new dog.

  • would it be the same if they got a new hamster ?

  • -It's the average person that by far is providing the bulk of TARP tax money to bail out the Jewish few banking execs at the top of these Failed Banks. So they can free, the average person fought in WW2; so they can now scam the world with their derivatives packages fraud they sold in America and around the world. Barak, you need to REGULATE YOUR BANKS LIKE CANADA'S (don't say Volcker 'will' - do it, talk is CHEAP and forgettable). SHOW AMERICANS the fixes, and get a shelter-dog ...

  • what r u saying about Jewish people? your comment makes no sense, but it sounds very anti-semitism

  • Make. Shut up.

  • again, you make no fucking sense.

  • What do you know about 'sense'? You have none. If you had sense you wouldn't hit the anti-semitic panic button everytime somebody says Jew and something negative in the same sentence.

    So, once again. Shut up.

  • they pretty much go hand in hand.

  • @ephraim0000 America's predominantly yiddite media has programmed the Low Comms (American's lowest common denominator, also known as neocons - who aren't really conservatives at all - see Dean Berry Ministries) to froth at the mouth and start screaming "Antisemite!" whenever anybody EVEN LOOKS LIKE they want to criticize Ameria's Masters.

  • @MakeLove2011NotWar  Fortunately, American adults have begun internalizing the fact that those who call themselves "jews" are actually the antisemites. For thirty years, they've been using America's media - the bulk of which they control - to con us into believing the Arabs are the root of all evil so we'll stupidly take over the Middle East for them. Arabs are also descended from Shem. Of course, the Low Comm won't get the point I'm making.

  • wrong choice! To be in touch with the average north american he should have - as the servant of the average american - got an average, basic dog. His first idea ( a 'please vote for me' idea) was one from a shelter. This choice shows, like he put down average people (and they fight the wars, as Sarah P pointed out) with his "hug their religion and guns" comments, that his real urges are like "Blago" to pander to and hobknob with the idle, no-cares or -sentiments upper class. (cont)

  • Obama originally said that he would be getting a dog from a Shelter. Instead he goes for a Purebred, well-lined Portuguese Water Dog. I'm assuming that because it had a previous family it's considered to be rescued? Because obviously NO ONE would want a USED purebred, well-lined dog.

    If he were any other person, I wouldn't care. But he's the president, if he's going to go back on is word about this, what else is he going to take his word back on?

  • I thought that he already had a dog...Michelle

  • Wow! He got a dog! Holy Shit! That's great!! Fuck the economy, pirates, Mexican drug violence, joblessness, and other government business! What we need endless coverage of is Obama's dog!!

    On a serious note, I do feel sorry for the dog.

  • winterhaven, your diatribes are a waste of your time. Do something productive. Actually, I heard on the view this morning that that poor dog has already been in 6 different homes. Now that's a rescue dog to me.

  • Hey Osama lover-and you believe the shit The View says-not according to the breeder, who said Bo is NOT a "rescue dog". It came from a litter she named "Hope for Change" and Bo was intended for the Obamas from the very get go. I read in MULTITUDES of news reports that Bo was NOT a rescue at all! And if they ended up in 6 different homes, was merely EN ROUTE to the Obama's white house-these people never actually owned the dog.

  • I just found out this morning that Obama's DHS considers me, my wife and children to be Right Wing Extremists that need to "Be Watched" because we don't beleive that if a baby survives the Abortion Process they should be thrown aside and allowed to die. OH and those crazy people that fought in Iraq that no longer beleive in the cause of that war are now also considered Extreme Right Wing and need to be watched as they could cause danger to the current administration.

  • Never mind negative comments here...it's probably a great pet, even if he isn't from a shelter... a puppymill doggie is better off with folks who are used to keep dogs annyway.

    If it's your first dog, you better have a healthy one and what good is it for sacha and malia to have a puppie who is sick and dies???

    Some comments here are useless.

  • What makes you think a purebreed is healthy? They are very prone to genetic disorders. And what makes you think this water dog is a good "beginner" dog. Breeders say this kind of dog is more suitable for experienced owners. But King Osama and his family probably will never play with it other than an occasional toy-King Osama has a whole staff of servants to do the dirty work for them. His Royal Magesty King Osama-a shelter dog is too good for him.

  • LMAO...the psychos are still here..turning people off to helping animals with their low class outbursts.

  • I don't mind that Obama got a dog. I do mind the media having an orgasm over it. Seriously, it's just a fucking dog. The president's dog, but a dog nonetheless. The media could've just said "well Obama got a dog" and be done with it.

  • This little deception to get Obama a purebred from a breeder was obviously concocted by Senator Kennedy who is dying of brain cancer. The fucker cannot even be honest when he's got one foot in the grave! Rotten even to the end, like a true politician. I'm sure he's saying HAIL KING OSAMA!

  • King OSAMA is a lying sack of shit. they accepted a 6-month-old puppy originally from a commercial dog breeder who sells dogs to Sen. Ted Kennedy.

    But Bo is a pure bred Portuguese water dog, a relatively rare breed, whose breeder, Martha Stern, said is not a "rescue".

  • Bo is actually from a litter that was named "Hope and Change". He was placed with the Washington, D.C. area family where he reportedly did not work out and then sent to Sen. Kennedy's trainer. He will now join the Obamas in the White House, as if this was the plan all along.

    KING OSAMA CAN'T KEEP PROMISES, NOT EVEN LITTLE ONES-HE'S A PATHOLOGICAL SICK LIAR

  • my god do you actually believe the polls about this frackers popularity its a fracking lie anyone with this much tv coverage in 3 years would be hated by their very largest supporters what a joke

  • the media can go in the spit right along with both parties ted fracking kennedy go drown another pregnant woman he got away with it because it was an abortion gone awry

  • Right to the end, dying of brain cancer, one foot in the grave, he concocts this "rescue" pet for KING OSAMA. When in reality it was not even a "rescue" puppy but an absolute pure breed. Ted Kennedy is going to rot in hell where he belongs and I hope he dies in agony for his lies and deceit-some people deserve what they got. BURN BABY BURN IN HELL!

  • I just wanted to say that the wasted time and coverage spent by mainstream media on this BULLSHIT is incredible! "News" is turning into "Entertainment" for the masses. PEOPLE, PLEASE!! THINK ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR COUNTRY AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

  • Congrats to the first family on their new puppy! And how sad that so many joyless, bitter people have to find one more excuse to be nasty on youtube. Why watch this video??? Take your hate elsewhere.

  • WHO GIVES A RATS A-HOLE???REALLY??

  • ☻/

    /▌

    / \ lame

  • kennedy gave it to him and it's a Portugese "WATER DOG"??? kENNEDY, WATER, DROWNING, MURDERED HIS FIANCE...HMMM noone cares about your damn dog sir except Liberal dregs that hate our country.

  • Tampa , why so angry ? Troubled Childhood ?

  • I'd be more worried about that sack of lying shit, King Osama, who cannot even keep a small promise over a fucking dog.

    What makes you think this tyrrant is going to care about the big "promises". Trust me the honeymoon period is nearly over. Face it-you have a pathological liar as your commander and chief: HAIL KING OSAMA

  • People ned to shut up, why the hell did you watch this if it isnt news? It's at least something good, no blood or shit.

  • why is this even being reported? Who f*cking cares.

  • this is not news, this is pathetic. I am now unsubscribing from AP

  • You can bet the poor dog will turn into a midnight snack for Barack Obama. As a boy in Indonesia, Obama would eat dog on a regular basis.

  • wooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.­...biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­ig news......wooooooooooooow...

    even the space aliens are woooooooooowed by this news....wooooooooooooow

  • I hope he bite's his ass.

  • this has to be the most retarded news story ever yeah this might be appropriate for e entertainment but the news come on its a dog

  • That's one lucky dog.

  • Until he gets eaten by Obama, that is.

  • Obamas' new dog is a portuguese water dog from none-other-than Ted Kennedy??? Hey, I have a name for the dog!!!!! CHAPPAQUIDDICK !!!

  • I really wish the media would focus on something more important than the dog in the white house.

  • I think we all enjoy the inside joke here. The Obama's got the dog from Ted "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" Kennedy.They call the dog "Bo" - a cute play on words - the dog's full name is Mary "Bo" Kopechne.

  • This is the type of news Americans can handle. No use concerning yourselves with anything more important.

  • What? No Rottweiler? Oh, wait, they have Rham...

  • Well, at least he will keep one promise. There's a first and last.

  • My guess? He'll probably adopt a shelter dog as well so that Bo has a playmate and still avoid insulting Ted Kennedy by not accepting his gift.

    Yay, everybody's happy, lets focus on stuff that matters for the HUMANS in America.

  • Figures they would pick some whimpy dog. Why not a Pit Bull or Rottweiler something manly.

  • why do i have a feeling that they picked a black and white dog on purpose...

  • "The breed has to be hypoallergenic" Hate to break it to you obama, there is no such thing as a dog that is 100% hypoallergenic. And second, even though they did not get a shelter dog, Im glad they chose the Portuguese water dog over the.. *sighs* labradoodle mutt..

    Labradoodle= Expensive Labx Poodle Mutt, with a Facy name slapped on it

  • There are BIGGER issues to be discussed in this nation than this!!!!!!

  • Obama promised to adopt a shelter dog. Obama originally made this promise to Dr. Jana Kohl, the author of A Rare Breed of Love — a book about a three-legged rescue dog and puppy mill survivor named Baby-to adopt a shelter dog. He lied. Naturally. Obama cannot even keep a SMALL promise-we can expect him to back out on big ones.

  • The republicans are just mad because they wanted a pitbull wearing lipstick in the Whitehouse! Just like any other American Obama is free to get whatever kind of dog he wants. I happen to like his choice as it does seem like a really cool breed. I am also glad that he gave a donation to the humane society even though the dog came to him as a gift from Kennedy instead of a shelter.

  • THat paltry donation will do nothing to help the countless millions of homeless and unwanted animals that will be gassed to death in dog pounds across america. You truly are very heartless.

  • Do Not call me heartless as you know nothing about me.. I happen to work with children who are disabled as a result of abuse while your primary focus seems to be on rescuing dogs. I happen to donate to my local human society and they appreciate every donation they get as they believe that every little bit helps. I am sure Obama's donation will be put to good use.

  • you obviously have a total disregard for mixed breeds and the destruction of them-i would call that pretty heartless. and that donation Osama gave won't help squat when countless millions are homeless and get gassed to death in pounds.

  • Really? How is that obvious? You are a pretty judgmental person. Just because I happen to think that dog is cool does not mean I am against mixed breed dogs. Every dog I have ever owned has been a mixed breed dog. I agree with HenDixPwns there are Bigger issues to discuss. If you want to attack me again go ahead, but do not expect a response back from me.

  • Just like any other American Obama is free to get whatever kind of dog he wants. I happen to like his choice as it does seem like a really cool breed. I am also glad that he gave a donation to the humane society even though the dog came to him as a gift from Kennedy instead of a shelter. I bet the girls are happy! :)

  • Could this shit be any more gay?...I guess we deserve it as a nation....

  • So Obama IS doing his job. Finally taking initiative.

  • You all may trivialize this-but mark my words-this choice of dog has done a LOT of damage to his image. I now see Obama as he really is-an elitist, and his royal majesty that a shelter dog is not good enough for him. And this has pissed off countless animal activists and word is spreading FAST-OBAMA THE LIAR! OBAMA THE ELITIST! He sucks! And cannot even keep a simple promise.

  • The sad thing is, as a child in Indonesia, Obama used to eat little dogs like these. :(

  • Dogs are never shy of being in public - I admire that.

  • Yeah and they also bite reporters on the ass. I'll be laughing when this water dog bites somebody in the ass-those purebreds can get kookoo sometimes. I guess its all that creepy inbreeding, you know, incest. That's why they call them purebreds.

  • Well you kinda need unshakable confidence to bite a reporter in the ass on national television. I mean that's ballsy.

  • I have literally not slept since he announced he was getting a dog. I am so happy I can sleep, I just only hope his daughters allergies don't upset her!

  • I hope you are joking. My God...

  • very much so...I can see some Obama supporter who works at petsmart being like that.

  • AN elitist dog for an elitist president-shelter dogs are not good enough for him, for his royal majesty. And Obama can't even keep a simple promise to adopt a shelter dog. So how is he going to keep promises on bigger things???

  • Obama promised to get a shelter dog. He turns around and gets an elitist dog. If he cannot keep promises on small things, such as a stupid dog-how is he going to keep promises on big things???

  • good dog

  • woof

  • After the republicans destroyed the economy all I coud afford were pet spiders. Now that Obama is starting to turn the economy around I can afford a pet republican. Republicans seem almost human when they blabber. Republicans are so cute when they lie while claiming innocence.

  • wow, so the democrats had no saying on this. Get out of this R VS D thinking. they both are pretty much the same.

    second, i seriously don't see the economy getting any better. could you refresh me on this.

  • Two months in and Obama is supposed to have already turned this country around after George Bush and the Repubs took eight years to nearly destroy this country?

  • first, i like to note the economy started falling in the beganing of 08. the democrats had the house and the senate so bush didn't have total power. personally i believe presidents have to much power but they don't have total power. this is where check and balances come in.

    "Obama is supposed to have already turned this country around ". really? i like to see the proof of this.

  • I have pet tarantulas-they make GREAT pets! Don't knock them! I have one spider almost 18 years old!!!

  • He will not be getting my vote in 2012. He doesn't give a shit about the dogs that are in shelters due to foreclosures. An allergic reaction is a poor excuse, that's what allergy shots are for. I have bad allergies & have adopted 5 dogs & 4 cats. With the money that they have made, they should allready have dogs. if you don't love dogs there is something wrong with you. Beware of people who don't like animals. Most of them pretend to care about humans. That has been my experence with them.

  • Beware of people like this psycho...they do so much harm to the animal rights movement its disgusting. I've rescued animals all my life and rehab widlife work on wildlife issues. GROW UP. The dog was not wanted in its first home and needed a home...perhaps they should have just dropped it off at a shelter vs being resonsible and taking it back to someone who would replace it...NO DAMN DIFFERENCE. His preference was a shelter dog...He made a promise to his daughters.

  • "Not wanted by his first home". What a pack of political LIES. This dog came from a BREEDER and paid ENORMOUS quantities of money for it. Obama didn't get a shelter dog. That's the point. That dog is worth a fortune and I sincerely doubt it would have been kept in a shelter very long. If Obama can't keep his promises on a small matter such as a stupid DOG-which is 100% in his control by CHOICE-, he certainly will not keep promises on big issues. Obama just showed himself as a liar.

  • Are you dumb as a stump? Obama never PROMISED a shelter dog. People who rush to shelters and get dogs like YOU want and have children with severe allergies end up putting dogs back in the shelter. The Obamas waited until they could take care of a dog, found one that was a good FIT for their family that would not need to be returned for health reasons and got a dog that was returned. GROW THE FUCK UP and judge Obama by his policies like the largest Wilderness Bill in years for wildlife.

  • More lies...you wait and see-mark my words-he will back down on more promises.

  • LOL! A dog proves he is an elitist? yes he took a dog from an elderly woman for his daughter and he is an elitist..Next time vote Republican....fucking fruit loop

  • That dog you HATE was already in Washington DC. The elderly woman could not handle it, it was biting her other dog so the Obama's said yes as it was in the same city and everything. It never went back to the Kennel in Texas or anything....pretty much the same dam thing as purebreed rescue.

  • I think you are the psycho. Living in a dream world. Obama is a liar. An elitist. This dog proves it. He could have gotten a dog from the shelter like he said he would. Like a poodle. WHich is no more "hypoallergenic" than this water pooch.

  • You are so right about 1 thing cunt. I am a fucking psycho & I love it...He said he was getting a dog from the pound but he got one from the Kenndy Compound. BITCH someone would have took that 2000 dollar dog. You are upset that some of us think he is a liar...What do you do at the shelters lead the dogs to death row?

  • Ummm? Who cares? He never said he was getting a dog from the pound. I can get you the quote. Its psychos like you that HARM animals. Congrats on HARMING animals. Gee I wonder if all the losers complaining about Obama not rescuing a shelter dog went out and adopted a shelter dog in the past 3 days.? I BET NO...PS...losers like you dont intimidate me so stick you attitude up your ass

  • Comment removed

  • Obama proved himself as a LIAR because he cannot even keep a simple promise-which is 100% in his control by simple choice-to get a shelter dog. So what makes you think he can keep promises on ANYTHING??? OBAMA SUCKS!!!

  • I heard this dog was raised by a couple of white huskies.

  • (In a VERY sarcastic over-tone) I guess I don't have to commit suicide since the Obamas FINALLY made their pet choice. This has to be AP's greatest news story ever told (>.>). Only Obama-idiots care about this crappy news articles. Obama-followers are as mindless as this "news" article.

  • obama and his angry wife only prove again that they are classless and liars, they said before they were adopting from a shelter... well that was bullshit, obama and his family only have proven to be snobs!!!! I bet messiah oprah is upset, she only said in the future she would adopt from a shelter. i bwt all of the kool aid drinkers are doing buy pedigree now and leaving millions of unwanted shetler dogs... obama is a snob

  • I completely agree. Hey Mr. Obama, how bout puttin off your ever so hard dog decision and save the Captain who was taken hostage by the pirates. Obama is so vain, counldn't even save a dog from the shelter; jerk!

  • Ha the Captin is abord Navy ship safe. Obama should have been in a shelter looking for a dog or two years ago.

  • I 100% agree! Thank you!! Yes Obama IS a snob and elitist-so sad considering countless millions of Americans are OUT OF WORK and starving, and probably eating dog meat just to stave off hunger.

  • Who gives a flying fuck what kind of friggin' dog they chose. Fuck Obama and his ugly dog!

  • dude dont be so angry u didnt have to have watch this.

  • HERE, HERE!!

  • Nice grocer's apostrophe, AP.

  • Heard it was a gift from Ted Kennedy, so I think out of respect for Teddy they should name the dog "Alchy" or "Tumor" just a thought. How about "Gitmo"?

  • Guess what... the girls named the dog Bo... wow... Body Odor!~ :)

    Hey, I like your user name!~:)

  • Ted Kennedy got it from his animal trainer, who got it from a Washington breeder, who alleges it was given to the trainer "because it had behavior problems". Actually the breeder said this dog is NOT a "throw away" and could have very easily been resold and would never be a problem. It's political maneuvering to justify LYING to America about getting a shelter dog. Because King Osama *CANNOT* keep a simple promise - he will NOT keep the bigger ones.

  • This dog had better be the real deal otherwise that's gonna be the last straw for this administration!

  • Crappy decision. Poodles kick the crap out of Porties. I'm withdrawing my support Obama. Bad Form.

  • I love bo diddley.

  • Big news. This is sure to change the world as we know it.

  • i hear ya!~

  • I seen where lots of people that have lost their jobs and then their homes are giving up their pets to shelters because they can't afford to take care of them. Hopefully things turn around.

  • who gives a f...people are loosing everything and the press is giving us this crap?

  • WOW thats one promise he met. Really is this news?

  • How is this news world wide have people lost their minds

  • I can't stand Obama now-he's an elitist. He chose to get a Portuguese water dog-a very expensive rare breeder dog. WIth millions unemployed, even starving, it's a poor choice. A shelter dog is too good for his royal majesty. Americans are probably EATING dog meat now just to stave off starvation. And he gets a fucking water dog from a breeder. Sick. I thank GOD I never registered to vote. And I'm damn proud of it.

  • We need to keep white trash like you in Alabama and build a wall around the "state".

  • At least I'm not black trash like you - trash comes in all colors baby.

  • Down Hillary Down!

  • They forgot to show a picture of Bush's asshole dog that bites reporters.

  • I hope this dog bites a few in the ass-those breeder dogs tend to be kookoo from all of that inbreeding.

  • Nigga please!!! Obama wanted a hypoallergenic dog; these ugly ass dogs are hypoallergenic. It's also a common myth that mutts have more health problems than purebreds.

    I am pretty sure that Ted Kennedy's dogs are not going to be unhealthy. Those dogs probably shit caviar.

  • He got the fucking dog from a breeder, which was "returned" and sent to Kennedy's dog trainer, who conveniently ended up as OSAMA's greedy lying hands. Point is if that lying sack of shit can't keep a SMALL promise over a fucking dog-what makes you think he's going to help you or anybody else? King OSAMA is a pathological liar and will NOT "create change". You wait and see. He's not in office not 3 months and already he's grossly LIED.

  • The only reason you give a fuck at all is because Obama is a different side than you are on. Seriously, Portuguese Water dogs are hypoallergenic. His daughter has allergies. You are getting pissed about something that's stupid and trivial.

  • yes obi wan

  • Poodles are just as "hypoallergenic". King Osama is a fucking liar. You don't seem to care about this liar who can't even keep a SMALL promise? You just wait-this new president honey moon period will be over soon and you too will see him as he really is-a LYING MANIPULATIVE BLACK GEORGE W. BUSH. We don't have to worry about re-election because King Osama will most likely bankrupt our country and there won't be a country left.

  • Osama's spiritual mentor, Rev. Jerimah Wright, got his wish with GOD DAMN AMERICA because King Osama got elected and WILL damn America with his lies and deceptions and end up bankrupting the country.

  • You are PSYCHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIES LIES LIES...Tell the goddamn truth you psycho...I'm sick of whackjob extreme animal rights people loosing their minds and causing harm to the movement because people are sick of how irrational they are. GROW THE HELL UP...

  • Amazing when I point out a simple truth-that Obama cannot even keep his word on getting a fucking shelter dog-that he is not capable of keeping even a simple promise-thus has NO morals and is NOT a man of his word-that I'm called a psycho. Truth hurts, doesn't it. King Osama is a liar and NOT a man of his word. America is MAJOR FUCKED! This is NOT about a dog-but Osama's complete inability to keep a simple promise. The man is despicable.

  • WinterHaven, you're still bitter mccain didn't win... and of top of that, your request to became a kkklan member was rejected too...it will be very painfull to discover that even bin laden don't hire cowards like you...so all your left with are negative comments about president Obama...SAD

  • You do realize that Obama got his dog from a RESPONSIBLE breeder. VERY RESPONSIBLE. May only breed one time a year. Puppy Mills capitalize on crazies like you and turn RESPONSIBLE breeders against people who want to help animals because they convince them activists want to ban all breeding. YOU MAKE IT HARDER TO GET LEGISLATION PASSED BECAUSE RESPONSIBLE BREEDER THEN FIGHT US....you do not even know anything about truly HELPING animals.

  • you need to ban puppies being sold from petshops like they did here in the uk.

  • I agree. Good for the UK! Peace~

  • If people like you would stop acting like screaming crybabies and stand with responsible breeders like the ones who got the Obamas their dog....MANY MORE LAWS COULD BE PASSED AGAINST PUPPY MILLS!!!!!!!!!!

  • Who CARES!!!

  • We wouldn't want in Finland to hear about the dog mis-behaving in public events.

  • this is how american media operates, they don't care about real news or world events.

  • The whole system works only to increase profit for those who control things.

  • You are barking up the wrong tree.

    Dogs have a great impact on bringing peace to the planet.

    Don't underestimate the power of your pets...especially where two or more are gathered.

    Have a Happy Easter. I know I will.

  • Yeah they are killed by the TONS and dumped in county dump yards, piled high everywhere for the flies and maggots to eat, costing America about a billion dollars a year-just to kill homeless and unwanted pets-because they have...heaven forbid-mixed blood in them. Nazi America & their gas chambers called dog pounds.

  • You are barking up the wrong tree.

    Dogs have a great impact on bringing peace to the planet.

    Don't underestimate the power of your pets...especially where two or more are gathered.

    Have a Happy Easter. I know I will.

  • Love it! Congrats to the Obama girls! Real America loves you girls. Don't pay any attention to the ones who complain about your dad but are not doing a damn thing to make life better for anyone else. They talk like they have all the answers but never run for any office or do anything to improve anyone's life. Those people are living, walking failures.

  • Your dad (Obama) is a LIAR who cannot even keep a simple SMALL promise on getting a shelter dog, so it is highly doubtful he can keep promises on big issues that really matter.

  • Hey AP, nobody gives a fuck

  • Great! Now the Obamas just encouraged American to buy from breeders, while countless MILLIONS are getting killed in pounds every year in the United states costing tax payers about a billion dollars a year to kill perfectly healthy dogs, cats, kittens and puppies. Breeders are adding to the pet overpopulation explosion. These PW dogs have a good amount of genetic disorders from inbreeding (a pure bred is a pure bred)-but they have the money for vet care. Most people don't. Nice going Obamas

  • We need a dog to take us out from this recession.

    Great news.

  • cute dog but i agree i could care less. i'm just glad that this is up instead of a violent family shooting suicide, shooting spree at some random building or college, or pirates, fires, earthquakes, tornado's ect.

  • Ohh just wait until this summer! It's a fact when temperatures go up so does violent crime! with so many unemployed and going hungry this country will soon legalize dog meat. Why not? They kill countless millions in pounds and dump them in dump yards by the TON. That's a lot of wasted meat. (I'm glad I'm vegan :-) so it doesn't affect me..

  • It's not even summer yet-that's when violence *really* gets hopping-all police stats show hot weather makes people go kookoo and more violent. And hurricane season is around the corner!

  • Could we care less...

  • Cute dog!

  • LMAO ! A water dog given as a gift from Kennedy!

  • very good insight!!!! boo to whoever gave you the thumbs down....lol

  • You mean from a BREEDER. I don't believe anything those political assholes say-they ALL LIE!!

  • If all breeders acted like the one Obama's got their dog from...there would be much less need for animal shelters. DO YOU ALL REALIZE THAT??? You all shoot yourselves in the foot constantly. Even the Portuguese Water Dog website does NOT want people going out and getting these dogs just because the Obamas did. Freaking people need to learn to check their emotions, look at the big picture and pick thier battles...maybe more animals would be saved then.

  • They may say that, but people WILL. And they will be overwhelmed by the many VET BILLS because pure breds are at very high risk of getting genetic disorders due to being purebreds (i.e., incest - breeding a pure bred with a pure breds is still incest). They don't have the unlimited wealth his royal highness Obama does to spend on vet bills. Which I'm sure is 100% free to them.

  • Well maybe Obama should have just told his daughters NO DOG. I have a rescued cat. My friend cannot even come in my home much less hold my cat - his face swells and he cant breathe. Even the HSUS congratulated Obama.. hate his dog....freaking remids me why I tune out extremeists...they HURT THE CAUSE

  • Not really. They are just telling it like it is. I now see Obama as a liar who cannot even keep a small promise. I have *NO* respect for the man.

  • Well, you are obviously someone who does not LISTEN like extremeists do. he never PROMISE. Next time, vote Republican...see what they do to animals....idiot..

  • And Obama has shown anything different than the Republicans??

  • oh please....are you 3? Did you see the massive wilderness bill he signed into law? Mccain voted NO. He took in a returned dog that was a good fit for his daughters health and kept a PROMISE to them!!! He made a sizeable donation the the local DC Humane Society that will help save more dogs than if he simply adopted a shelter dog. YOU HARM ANIMALS!

  • BUllshit-that paltry donation won't even make a tiny dent considering the BILLION DOLLARS America spends every year to kill dogs and cats in pounds. As for that "returned dog" which is worth about $5,000.00 I can just see nobody wanting a $5,000.00 elite dog. Mr. Obama-his Majesty. AND A LIAR WHO CANNOT EVEN KEE
