Rodent Scurries By as Obama Lauds Wall Street Vote May 20, 2010
WASHINGTON (AP) -- In the midst of his battle with the titans of Wall Street, President Barack Obama was nearly upstaged by a rodent. Obama had just begun a Rose Garden statement lauding the end of a Senate filibuster on his financial overhaul when some kind of rodent dashed out of the bushes to his right, just outside the Oval Office.
As photographers snapped away in the sun-drenched garden, the critter scurried straight past the gray podium with the presidential seal and made a bee-line for another set of bushes to Obama's left. It's not clear if the president could even see the streaker, but he didn't show any reaction. And he concluded his statement minutes later, returning to his office without answering a few shouted questions on other topics.
Once he was safely inside the Oval Office, a fierce debate erupted among the photographers and reporters who'd witnessed the dash. Was it a rat or a mouse? Or maybe a mole, or some other kind of related creature.
Before long, experts had joined the fray.
''I would partially rule out rat,'' said Russell Link, a wildlife biologist who works for the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. ''That's due to the lack of a tail that is typically equal to body length.''
After viewing a photograph of the surprising scurry, Link said, ''My suspicion is it's a vole, commonly called a 'meadow mouse' out our way.''

You mean he didn’t run over to it and snuff it out like he did that fly?
Wasn’t there some other rat scurrying past him last week or so?
Vermin know fellow vermin, and are comfortable with them.
Yes, there is a video of a rat but I don’t think he was at the podium, yet.
That’s what happens when your lungs can’t process sufficient oxygen...it’s that smoking thing of his.

Birds of a feather...
What state was the rodent from?
Mole.
There are rodents around the WH, besides Bambi and Moosechelle? Maybe they need a good mousing barn cat instead of Bo the water dog. Poor Bo. At least he doesn’t know he’s a prop...
Oh! That’s Nancy Pelosi, I’m surprised nobody recognized her.
Rodents in the Rose Garden.
Mother used to say, “You can’t tell
the players without a program.”
Looks more like a vole.
The White House is infested with Rats?
Keep out the Bushes.
