I think the dog is cute. His owners aren’t his fault.

Why is the Dog both Black and White?

I agree. The dog is cute. I never said his owners were his fault.

Our 12 year old Jack Russell likes to catch and eat flies. YUM! Perhaps Bo could be trained to be the official White House fly slayer.

I know. I didn’t mean that as a criticism of you.

“Who in their right mind, would criticize a picture of a dog so vigorously?”

Exactly.

Whats so bad about the DOF? This is a situation where you’d want the background. The White House isn’t your average backdroup so unlike most portraits you would not want a defocused background. I think the aperture was well chosen. Composition isn’t that bad either. The angle it is shot from is pretty good too.

So sweet of the Soetoros to adopt a dog with only two legs!

The dog’s original name was Charlie, and Charlie what he learned to answer to as a pup. I refuse to call him “Bo”, especially since I think that name was chosen because it’s You-know-who’s initials.

I don’t think the portrait of Charlie is that bad. I just hate being reminded that they changed the dog’s name and probably farm him out to a staffer most of the time.

Poor Charlie!
