Apparently, the first dog is not happy about the impending changes at the White House.

Today, Barney bit a reporter outside the briefing room. The whole incident was caught on tape by another reporter, April D. Ryan.
Reuters political reporter Jon Decker had finished an interview with MSNBC around 10:30 a.m. when he saw Barney and his handler. After getting permission to pet the dog, Decker said Barney snapped and chomped down on his right index finger and broke the skin.
Decker said his first reaction was, "that's not good."
Decker said he was treated with a bandage and some antibiotics and was asked to return for a tetanus shot Friday. He has not gotten any calls from the White House.
ATTABOY, Barney!! A parting shot for the MSM Obamabot reporter.
Too bad it was just his finger.
All I could think of was the HUGH and SERIOUSLY stark comparison of Obamabot men like this guy and our AWESOME man's men WARRIORS of our great Military.
Have this "reporter" spend thirty minutes with my cat.
Barney isn't a toy or a prop and he's a pretty damn good judge of character.
That’s right — my Cocker Spaniel could kick that reporter’s ass.
I knew there was a conservative in the Bush White House somewhere.
Hey — Note to dumba$$ reporter — Don’t f**k with a Republican Scottie.
Why is it that Barney is tougher on the media than Bush is?
I bet he would do a number on Chrisie Mathews.
No, that would mean Barney alread had it. More likely Barney would get rabies, or much worse, from the reporter.
At least dogs can't get human AIDS.
We need a few Republican senators and congressmen with Barney’s temperment.
Hamburger?
He should get a nice steak with a nice big bone to chew on afterwords...to keep his teeth sharp.
Yes, Colonel. And that's just Doggy 101. This poor excuse for a male person would make any self-respecting mother cringe. He probably has a ferret at home in an orange cage that is named Mr. Sillybone. He makes his mother feed it.
But then of course, he's probably just your typical Mainstream Media Metrosex Man.
To heck with the reporter. I hope poor Barney doesn’t get sick.
But I love animals and animals love me. I was at the cotton gin yesterday and commented to the owner's wife about the large number of pretty cats hanging around. She said they were all wild as march hares -- couldn't be touched -- they would hardly eat the cat food she regularly offered them. About that time this little tri-colored kitty comes around the corner of the building and walked right up to me when I said hello. I reached down and we were immediate friends. The lady was stunned.
‘Does your dog bite?’
This report was preceded by NBC showing the NY Times "very misleading" Obama Blue USA Map, followed by Sarah Palin being criticized for more money spent on her wardrobe by "unnamed" sources in the McCain campaign, followed by Sarah being ridiculed for the "Africa" comments, followed by Barney bites the Rueters reporter hit piece.
NBC framed this story ad (my interpretation) of Barney being mean and dispirited like a lot of others in the White House. It was nothing more that just another drive by media hit piece to me.
I found nothing to laugh at here at all - on the contrary . . . it p!ssed me off even more!
Dubya should make Barney his press secretary for the remainder of his term. He’s a natural and knows just how to handle the press!
Good dog!
