If I have a problem with the president I will post it here. If I have a problem with a great website like Human Events I will contact them instead of whining about it on Free Republic.
They will do just fine. Johnsons had pets, Carter, Kennedy, Roosevelt, Bush Sr. and Bush,Jr...Obama and his family will do just fine and so will the animal they adopt.
You're talking about people who had always owned dogs, they didn't acquire them for family photo ops and they didn't chose the dog by asking the AKC.
If Obama wants a dog he should adopt one from the Humane Society instead of asking the AKC to pick a breed for him. Also, mutts give off less CO2 emissions. (OK, I made that part up.)
Clinton adopted a dog (Barney?) during the Lewinski scandal. This is the same ploy and it makes me sick. The Clintons couldn't even hire a caretaker who could keep the dog from being killed by a car.
