No "girly" dog for the Obamas

Barbara Walters interviewed the Obamas, due to air tonight, and of course the topics of doggies came up. She, along with millions of Americans, actually sent Michelle Obama a picture of her beloved Havanese dog, Cha Cha Cha. (We're not kidding.)

Here's the back and forth between Obama and Bawbwa:

Obama: "Cha Cha?"

Bawbwa: "It's short for Cha Cha Cha."

O: "What is a Havanese?"

B: "It's like a little terrier and they're non-allergenic and they're the sweetest dogs.."

O: [Face suddenly changes.] "It's like a little yappy dog?"

Michelle: "Don't criticize."

O: "It, like, sits in your lap and things?"

M: "It's a cute dog."

O: "It sounds kinda like a girly dog."

M: "We're girls. We have a houseful of girls."

O [with hand gestures]: "We're going to have a big rambunctious dog, of some sort."

....

O: "We're getting more advice about this [what kind of dog to get] than my economic policies. No doubt about it."

The dog should be less castrated than it’s potential owner IMO.

It sounds to me like he needs a father. Just like, Billy Jeff Clinton, I suspect there's some, um... issues there.

So, this kid spends a lot of his youth in Kansas yet knows nothing about dogs. Sounds like a muslim to me.

Seriously, the media is playing along with this charade. They all know there will be no dogs anywhere near this family as they don’t celebrate Christmas.

There will be no dog in the White House. Dogs are considered unclean in Islam. Except for the saluki, which Islam does not consider to be a dog, because Muhammad liked salukis.

So if the Obamas bring a saluki into the White House, the drive-bys will write it up as a cute human interest story about The One’s family, without thinking about what it says about The One.

Making decisions all by your lonesome is a pretty daunting job, ain't it Barry? No doubt you'll have to assemble yet another "blue ribbon" panel of experts. You can set the "vision" and they can tell you what to do.

I will pray for the dog and the breed. Seriously. I sincerely hope that they understand the impact it will have and will act with sense. I know, it’s alot to ask.

oh that is a cute dog!!!! not as cute as my Corgi though....

They should seriously consider a Labradoodle....they're hypoallergenic and they're big and burly and fun.

Sorry, but I like this topic about Obama. It is one of the few things that doesn't piss me off about him.

Clinton got a real dog (Chocolate Lab) to distract from the Lewinksy investigation. Once Buddy was no longer needed, they was discarded Buddy, like all other living creatures the Clintons no longer have a use for.

Um, the dog is a gift for the GIRLS. He promised them he would get a dog once the election was over (win or lose). He should be choosing a dog that THEY will like.

Are Muslims allowed to own dogs? Maybe they can just get one to show to the cameras, and the Secret Service guys can take care of it.

I admit I like his comments on dogs, also. I have a black lab that I bought (made a donation for), at the SPCA. His name is Beau. He is the most amazing creature I have ever met. I will tell you that once you share your life with a loving lab, you will have a hard time sharing your life with any other breed of dog.

This is typical “photo-op” hyperbole. I warned about this months ago - that the Obamas (like the phony Clintons) would pick a puppy to eliminate the “muslim” mantra and to increase “they are soooooooo all-American normal” Maybe those two poor daughters sincerely have always wanted a puppy - but why now???? They should have had one years ago.....this is pathetic.

Poor dog - will end up just like Buddy Clinton and the cat. Dumped off and dead too soon.

Getting a dog is straight out of PR for Dummies. Whatever kind of “mutt like me” (aww) they get, probably from the pound for maximum I care about animals effect, it should be named Pander.

Now I feel guilty, because I failed to mention my Yellow Lab, Stella. she’s 14 and you’re right. Talk about a love. She gets pushed around by the bossy Corgi’s and i just plain overlooked her. *shame*. She’s a good girl and I know what you mean about LABS!

If this is the real transcript, whichever Obama said this stuff was RUDE. I have big and medium sized dogs, but I would never tell a small dog owner they have a “yappy dog” and then imply it’s a “girly dog.”

The Obamas have no class, once again.

Our Republic is engaged in at least two Hot wars..and several “warm” wars...

The economy has be wrecked by Leftists and Black politicians who pushed to grant loans to those who didn't deserve or honor the obligation.

National standards of Education have fallen to Turd World status.

Highway, Rail, Bridge and Power infrastructure is in disrepair and insufficient to meet needs.

Our borders are no longer respected and our taxes are being consumed by uninvited ILLEGAL ALIENS.

We have KNOWN gangs of ethnic criminals - some of them illegal aliens or the offspring of illegal aliens and most of the rest are black gangs staffed with the bastard result of unwed motherhood....

Values this nation was founded upon are being ridiculed, ignored or rendered illegal...

And we're discussing the kind of dog our unaccomplished, suspect Muslim, known Black racist and suspect non natural born “President elect” is considering!

This country has become a joke, run by the least among us who are incapable of providing for themselves and thus voting their “tribe” into office to have them rob the rest of us...

The thin veneer of civilization is soon to be ruptured in America.... Widespread violence and societal collapse will be unavoidable.

****Getting a dog is straight out of PR for Dummies*****

Precisely - and the effect is evident right here on this thread by FREEPERS........ArGrrrrrgggggggghhhhhh.

True dog lovers are so gullible and trusting...traits learned from dogs............IF WE ARE LUCKY - Obameeee might learn loyalty, courage and duty from the pooch.

We can hope;)

It's a Havanese dog.

I thought that was just a redneck expression. As in, "I like havanese dogs around here."

I grew up with Labs and Lab mixes - my Mom currently has three and my sister two. I've been holding back on getting a dog due to my wife being severely allergetic and our work schedules.

Eventually I think we'll go the Labradoodle route. But I *refuse* to have a dog with such a silly "breed" (yes, I know Labradoodles aren't a pure breed) name.

So we'll have a "Poodladore".

Whatever else for which Kansas may be responsible, it is clear that it had virtually nothing to do with Barack Obama. His mother left Kansas in junior high, and there is no evidence either that she ever returned, nor that Obama passed ever passed through the state other than flying over by airplane prior to his entry into national politics after 2004.

Considering he will have a mother-in-law living with him, a wife, and two daughters, I suspect the "no girly dog" comment was a joke.

I should no because my husband is in the same situation. haha
