WASHINGTON (AP) — Bo? It's no jest.

The first family has settled on a first pet — a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog that the Obama girls are naming Bo.

The selection was one of the White House's most tightly kept secrets.

I’m thinking the name was focus grouped first.

I mean did they hide stories, twist stories etc to suit their liberal agenda?

It started the day Gutenberg invented the printing press.

>> A rabid Rottweiler would have been a better choice.

Puppies love to chew stuff up. I’m holding out hope that their little puppy chews up something Bambi treasures.

Like his nuts, for example. That would be cool!

White House aides told the AP that the office of the first lady arranged an exclusive deal on the dog story with the Post.

The 'deal' is that BO will be potty-trained using issues of the WAPO.

I’m sure this Dog Bo is more American than President BO, and he probably has the AKC paperwork to prove it.

Bo isn’t a bad name for a dog but I don’t think it fitting for a Portuguese Water Dog

BO is short for Boreaguard.

“The ‘deal’ is that BO will be potty-trained using issues of the WAPO.”

How is the name Bo racist? I have a friend name Bo, according to the Wikipedia Bo is derived from Swedish/Danish masculine given name Bua, meaning to “to live”.

The name Bo is a Southern name. I guess that makes it racist. Bo Duke from Dukes of Hazzard with the General Lee.

Just my two cents.....

I wonder why they didn’t pick BS for Barry Soetoro.

OMG. These are the same people publically hoping for long painful illness and death of people like Tony Snow, Laura Ingraham, Cheney, Barbara Bush and Ronald Reagan, just to name a few. Typical liberal behavior.

Yeah, I really buy that story that it was all about Michelle’s father’s nickname.. The dog just happens to have a name whose letters are the initials of one of the most narcissistic leaders in history. You can’t tell me that had nothing to do with it.

Google DU and hate. I believe they use the word almost as much as throw around the f-word.

...the White House's most tightly kept secrets.

As opposed to anything regarding national security! Only dOpey's birth certificate is more closely guarded.

Hey, DUmmies! (Waves his rainbow flag to get their attention, since the real American flag is something they ignore.) I can’t wait until the rest of the country realizes what a loser our President is. When he becomes a one-termer, try not to cry too hard, OK?

I've known quite a few dogs named Bo but they were always farm dogs/stock dogs/hunting dogs.

Bo is about as appropriate of a name for a Portuguese Water Gog as it is for a chihuahua.
