Did the First Dog Leave a Number Two on Air Force One?

The mystery begins in a Pittsburgh bar where several high-flying airline types met last month. The group swapped stories over drinks when three people present let loose with a good tale.

Bo, the presidential puppy, recently left a present on the presidential jet, they said, and a flight attendant had nearly stepped in it. Associated Press Bo, the Obama family dog, walks away from Air Force One Aug. 30, 2009, at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., upon the Obamas’ arrival from a vacation in Martha’s Vineyard. “You can imagine the horror on board when they discovered what it had done,” a participant in the conversation said, referring to Bo. Reports of other puppy-like behavior support the story.

In an NBC television interview around the time of the alleged accident, President Barack Obama said Bo has chosen notable venues in the past. “We go out and we’re walking and I’m picking up poop, and in the background is the beautifully lit White House,” the president said. “It’s quite a moment.”

Both separately confirmed Bo’s youthful indiscretion, although neither of them would speak directly with Washington Wire. “Of course the dog accident on Air Force One happened,” McConnell contends. But the 89th won’t go public with it, he said, because it is strict Air Force policy not to discuss passengers’ activities. The White House stands by its denial.... (SNIP)

Here's how a real President handled this (Gerald Ford)...

One day Liberty, made a doggie mess on the rug in the Oval Office. A Navy steward rushed to clean it up. "I'll do that," Ford said. "No man should have to clean up after another man's dog."

Chewing socks...now, that's quite alarming.

I hope they're not new socks he's chewing.

It was nothing compared to the horror on the morning of last November 5 when we discovered what ACORN and a bunch of gullible voters had done.
