Awww. I loved all the pictures and videos we got of the Pres with his beloved Barney during his Administration. GWB sure loved that dog.

Here's an oil portrait Pres Bush painted of Barney. Did anyone know Pres Bush did oil painting? Can you imagine if Ozero (or even his wife) was a painter? The media would never let us hear the end of it!

I like the way GWB signs his painting too..."43". Again, I'm imagining that IF Obozo could do a painting, he'd sign it with a HUGE, embellished script signature with his full name. You know he would.
