Obama and His Bitch
August 28th, 2008 by EvilT
Oh calm down, I’m not talking about Michelle.
The American Kennel Club had a poll to choose the first Dog for Obama and his family. The Poodle won!
In a national poll of 42,000 people, the Poodle narrowly edged past the Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier as the top dog for the Obamas, the American Kennel Club (AKC) said.
Obama has said that he would get his daughters a dog after the election.
What kind of dog would you get for the Obama family?

A hairless mutt.

Beagle!
August 28th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
A Labrador would be cute!
August 28th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
A pitt bull. Obama kind of looks like one.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
I think a Bichon Frise would be good. They look a lot like poodles, but without the bitchy attitude. =-)

LOL…title alone got me to laugh
August 28th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
A big, lovable mutt is the best dog.

why do ”they” always choose ”old people” dogs? poodles are fine and smart infact, but girls/boys at the ages of 6 to 12 want a German Shepard, Lab, Doberman, A Great Dane, weiner dogs, collie, etc., I don’t think this is what Obama really wants, but he’s being nice.

They should get a Big Black Dog from a shelter.
Big Black Dogs (BBD) hardly ever get adopted. They are usually the sweetest, too. I think it would be a great move.
Whatever dog he gets, it shouldn’t be some fancypants designer breed. It should be a shelter dog.

I’d get them a Standard. They’re like a completely different dog than the toy. And I just can’t see them with a small dog.
August 28th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
i am with sillyplant - set a great example and get a dog/puppy from a shelter or rescue group. That’s were i got both of my current dogs and they are the greatest dogs, both lab mixes.
August 28th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
yes, yes, for sure, a shelter dog all the way, and even better? a shelter dog thats older - many only want puppies or young dogs…

He looks like he’s never held a dog in his LIFE. What a transparent ploy to seem more down to Earth.
August 28th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
I can’t help but look at the background
and the dignity of it
I don’t like this sort of photoshop
makes me wonder
August 28th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
because I trust it’s photoshop
August 28th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
all dogs nee dlove. whether they are “fancy” or just shelter. geez,. why so bitter about the ”fancy” dogs? love ALL dogs. p.c. police are out.
August 28th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Let’s just donate Leo to him…….hehehehehheheh
Where is the BEET ? Something is fishy here?
August 28th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
MW why so much hostility because a guy may have never owned or held a dog before? I could see if he was holding an infant that way or something geeze.
And I’d choose a Schnauzer or Yorkie maybe if we’re talking about getting a pet for two little girls. I do agree though that the shelter idea is a good one, what a cinderella story that dog will have!
August 28th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
a freakin huge rotweiler or monster pit bull so he can sic ‘em on mccain and/or bush.
August 28th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
okay, that dog is just CUTE. which is saying a lot, since I’m more of a golden retriever and labrador retriever person.
August 28th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I promise I have no hostilities towards fancy dogs. You can get fancy dogs at shelters (I did! My cockapoo. I’ve also gotten a chihuahua and terrier mixes at shelters.) I suppose I came across wrong. As a dog lover, I do understand the importance of preserving bloodlines in purebred animals, however, I just don’t choose to participate directly.
I just think a person in a place of position and influence should do the right thing by adopting a dog that has been cast off, instead of buying a dog from a breeder.
Your mileage may vary.

a BLACK lab
August 28th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
That has to be photoshopped–I hope. The “looking-into-the-future” expressions on both their faces are hilarious. And yes, he should definitely adopt a dog from a shelter. The White House is big; he could get five or six.
August 28th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
I’m with a black dog, I volunteer at shelters and nearly half are black dogs.
August 28th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
No poodles. They’re so damn ugly. He should get a golden retriever.
August 28th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Hmm, last I heard, Poodles were the #1 biting dogs, I guess the Don’t like Obama.
I would get a chow. Everyone I’ve ever had was great with children, but you Damn well better stay away from those kids! When my oldest was 1 he was using my parents chow mix to stand up (grabbing her fur and pullin), I did the gentle tap on the hand and said no. This dog was 5 years old, my chows puppy, had known me her whole life. She turned and nipped ME for tapping my hand. The one I have now attacked a previous neighbor. What can I say, don’t beat your kid (and he was beating, not disciplining) around my dog
August 28th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
I do agree with all the shelter dog comments. I actually found her hurt and starving on the side of the road (the vet never could get all the buckshot out of her rear)
August 28th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Shelter dog all the way, baby! Preferably mixed-breed!
August 28th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
kids want a big dog that they can actually PLAY with. Shelter dogs are best
August 28th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
A shelter dog is an absolutely brilliant idea… not only is it wonderful to save a dog, but very in the spirit of America, right? I mean, the statute of liberty does say:
“…”Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
And shelter dogs are the most loyal and loving dogs you’ll ever find!

A Rhodesian Ridgeback all the way, either from a rescue group or a reputable breeder. They are awesome dogs!
August 29th, 2008 at 7:05 am
a rottweiler. then he would yell “sick em’ boy!” to john mccaine and the terrorists. oh yeaaaaah. B)
August 29th, 2008 at 7:13 am
Border Collie and call it Laddie..
August 29th, 2008 at 9:40 am
um, how did my lover get on here?
any pound puppy would work. let the girls pick, if it’s really for them, and not a media stunt.
August 29th, 2008 at 9:42 am
I hope he gets a pound dog!
August 29th, 2008 at 9:42 am
i would go for a welsh corgi. my grandpa has one and she’s the sweetest, cutest dog ever!
August 29th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
just get him one that hikes his leg on bush’s portrait, it shouldn’t take much training.
August 29th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
golden retriever… it’s the family dog
August 29th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
a rat terrier! They get their name thanks to a former president!
August 29th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
isnt it funny, he want a white one as a pet
August 29th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
This is racist. A black man gets to rule the whitehouse with a white dog to lick his feet? What’s next, a white maid? A white butler? A white slut on the side?
August 30th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Golden Retriever!!!!! The best dogs on the planet.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
How about adopting a child in need and a shelter dog. The McCain family did both. Obama could follow their lead. He still needs assistance in becoming a noble individual.
November 11th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Whats he did a new dog for, he already has michelle!! That is one ugly dog!!!!
