Parents everywhere, take heart: Even the Obamas have trouble getting their kids to keep all the promises made when begging for a pet. "I got up at 5:15 a.m. in the morning to walk my puppy," first lady Michelle Obama said Thursday of Bo, the Portuguese Water Dog who joined the family Easter weekend, fulfilling President Obama's campaign promise to daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7. "Even though the kids are supposed to do a lot of the work, I'm still up at 5:15 a.m. taking my dog out. So for everyone who has a child asking for a puppy – you have to want the dog," Mrs. Obama said to knowing laughter from a luncheon audience of congressional spouses.

WASHINGTON - APRIL 14: First lady Michelle Obama is followed by U.S. President Barack Obama and their daughters, Sasha and Malia, while introducing their new dog, a Portuguese water dog named Bo, to the White House press April 14, 2009 outside the White House in Washington, DC. The six-month-old puppy is a gift from Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) who owns several Portuguese water dogs himself. This breed of dog is considered a good pet for children who have allergies, as Malia does.
And this is considered news in a world engulfed in chaos????
Typical MSNBC hit piece.
Too bad we all have to pick up after her hubby’s doo-doo.
I’m surprised they didn’t get a rottweiler or a pitbull.
Does that mean I’m a racist?
Where’s the bark alert?
who gives a rat’s a**?
No cooking, no cleaning, no grocery shopping, no laundry, no scrubbing floors, etc, etc.....
No one has mentioned picking up the poop....anyone really think ANYONE in this family is doing it??
Shhhhhhh. The dog. Look at the dog. Look over there ----->
Pay no attention to the terrorists, the unemployed, the economy, the homeless, government spending, the Obomas lavish lifestyle, and all those things hidden behind the curtain.
Think "Dog."
Nero fiddled as Rome burned. So shall the media and Barack fiddle while the country unravels.
It is so sadly obvious that they have never owned a dog.
And by the looks of it, Michelle my Bell is not enjoying the dog walking experience.
The most frightening time in my life for sure. I just keep having my faith that all will be well in spite of those in charge.
That’s it.
What a cute dog.
