The White House is capitalizing on the most popular member of the Obama family: Bo, the family dog.
From the WH Christmas guidance: "Bo Topiaries are featured throughout the tour route. The Bos are made from various materials like felt (35 yards of wool felt used), buttons (318 buttons in total), pom poms (750 pom poms used), candy (12 marshmallows, 1911 pieces of licorice), and even trash bags (6,850 feet worth)! Including Bo ornaments and other small Bos, you can find Bo in almost every room!"

Since this is Christmas decorations we’re talking about, I think he may be admitting that Bo makes a better Messiah than he does. Next thing they’ll be building Bo a portable Greek Temple for campaign appearances.
BO is a much better Christmas icon than Mao. And yes, there were Mao ornaments on the WH “Wishing Tree” the first year of the regime.
HA! Nice try. Bo does not have a fraction of the personality that Barney had. Have they taught him to heel yet? I haven’t seen a picture yet where he hasn’t been pulling Obama or Shelley. And have the kids ever pet the poor thing?
Dear Mr. Obama,
We care. We care deeply.
I wonder if Bo will have the Bo cam? Barney had one didn’t he. It was great!
We’ve known for a long time, this WH has already gone to the dogs.
I find this curious b/c this is the first mention made of this dog, I’ve seen in months and months. Are we sure it’s the same dog?
Bo the dog ping
BarneyCam was great!

I can guess why Bo is the most popular member of the family — he may sh!t on the carpet, but he doesn’t sh!t on the Constitution.
