I have a hard time believing Barney scared a room full of children. If anything, the President scooped him up to protect him from the children who would want to pet him and such.

[Willie Green]

He can make an apology on the Disney Channel.

[Constitution Day]

He won't resign, but will be appearing on Cat Entertainment Television tonight...

Barney has proven he obviously has had a hidden problem with children. The truth has finally come out about Barney and he must go. He can go on DET (dog entertainment tv) or whatever he wants but it's too late.

Oh, get rid of that dang purple dinosaur with the same name while you are at it.

Oh noooooo, not our favorite WH pooch!

I suspect that the Dems got in with the school children, and spooked Barney just as the President started to read a story. Probably threw a small ball for him to chase, right into that room.

Barney is such a cutie - how could he scare anyone?

>President Bush grabs his dog Barney...

FYI, Barney
the dog has his own website.
(Not very scary...)

In other news Jesse Jackson claimed "It was just like Selma, with that cracker Bush sic'ing his dog on those poor black children!"

Children these days are a bunch of wimps, in general. I wonder if they'll get psychological counselling to help them "cope with" their Barney scare.

"Scared" is probably to strong a word
Starled then delighted would be more accurate (although Terriers are pretty fiesty dogs)

I saw this .. what scared them was Barney came running in .. other then that the kids LOVED Barney

[APBaer]

Barney is Black, and the Congressional Black Caucus can help him.

"Mr. President, Barney or Lott, your choice?"

[Pay now bill Clinton]

Looks like the prez loves his dog just a little too much.

[Aggie Mama]

I this live on fox, and it didn't look like they were frightened to me. As a matter of fact, the kids were all crowded around the President to try and pet Barney. Very strange take on this.

[who knows what evil?]

LOL! Probably soccer players...

[Mudboy Slim]

"President Bush grabs his dog Barney after it came into the room and frightened area children..."

Well, after a stunt like that, I'm withdrawing my support fer Barney as the new Senate Majority Leader!!

DumbDawg...MUD

[Paul Atreides]

Yeah, those kids really look scared, all ganged around the president to see Barney. If they were scared, you'd think they'd be as far away from him as possible.

[lonestar]

If the Blacks, Dems, NAACP, and JJ start messing with Barney, they'll find themselves in a real dog-fight.

Q. What do the black caucus, NAACP, Jessee Jackson, Al Sharpston, et al, sing when they see Lott coming?

A. "Here comes Santa Claus..."

[Mudboy Slim]

"Barney is such a cutie - how could he scare anyone?"

I used to say the same thing about Newt Gingrich...MUD

[mystery-ak]

Well, if that's the case...BARNEY HAS GOT TO GO......Please, resign Barney for the sake of the Party!....The Gov of Texas is a Repub and can appoint a new WH pet....say a cute little pug!
