LOL! I noticed Rushy is using that term ...
LENO: All right, one last question. Now, when is the dog coming? I keep hearing about the dog. It seems to me when was the dog supposed to be there by? I thought it was, like, as soon as
OBAMA: Listen, this is Washington (laughter) that was a campaign promise.
LENO: Oh, wow. Wow. Man. (Laughter and applause.)
OBAMA: Im teasing. The dog will be there shortly.
LENO: How soon?
OBAMA: We have actually sort of been laying the groundwork here. Weve got a trip, Ive got to go to the NATO summit. When we get back, dog will be in place.
LENO: Wow. And its, what, a Portuguese water head? What is it, what kind of dog is it?
OBAMA: Its not that.
LENO: Its not that.
OBAMA: Its not a water head.
LENO: Whatever they are, I dont know what they are.
OBAMA: That sounds like a scary dog. Sort of dripping around the house.
LENO: I dont know what it is.
OBAMA: No, no. Were going to get a dog that is that I think the girls will have a great time I think Im going to have a lot of fun with it. You know, they say if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.
LENO: Exactly. Mr. President, I must say, this has been one of the best nights of my life. Thank you very much, sir.
The President of the United States.
I think Rush coined the term TOTUS, if I’m not mistaken.
Now it’s taken off.
