First Puppy Update
November 16th, 2008 by Evil BeetNow that the election’s over and we’ve all given up hope for a quick economic rebound, the nation’s energies are focused largely on one thing: the First Puppy.
When will the First Family get the First Puppy?
Not until they move into the White House, said Michelle in an interview with 60 Minutes Sunday night.
“We’re on call-mode on the dog front,” she said. “Because the deal with the dog was that we would get the dog after we got settled. Because as responsible owners we - I don’t think it would be good to get a dog in the midst of transition. We cut that deal with the kids before … America knew about it. So they’re - they’re good with it.”
The above clip is of Michelle talking about when the news first sank in that Barack had been elected President. It’s a cute clip because she and Barack end up talking like — well, like a husband and wife talk. Not like perfect cookie-cutter politician people, just like normal people, bickering jokingly about the demands Michelle puts on her husband. It’s endearing, really, in a way that a First Family hasn’t been endearing in a very long time.

Aw so sweet! Made me a little misty-eyed :)
They’re good together and good for each other it seems.
This guy has an interesting take on why Malia is actually right in the wanting of a goldendoodle. Check his blog out to see why the goldendoodle is the “Dog of Destiny” for the Obama Presidency.

they are a very likable family. i can’t wait for the shrub to leave and the obamas to move in to the white house.
I loved their interview. They were so sweet and reminded me of my own family…only REALLY smart! See, that’s the difference between me and that “base” they keep talking about with the Republicans. I think it is endearing that the Obama’s are a regular family…but I expect them to be educated if they are going to be running the country.
I am so grateful for this man and his family.
i don’t know about you all…but those 2 r SEXY! it looks like them 2 r gonna christen every room in the white house. the way they look at each…omg! FINALLY!!! A president that’ll be gettin’ in with the wife on the regular, so that he can concentrate on the job of getting our country together. i can hear them now….
Michelle - “oh baby, don’t worry about the President of Zimbabwe, he’s a hater…now get over hear and take off that shirt, grrrrrr…..”
Mr. Prez - “ok, but I get to tie YOU up tonight…you promised last time it’ll be my turn to cuff you, Mmmmm”
loves it!
loved that interview, and the ending! what a joy to have a young vibrant and smart couple in the white house.
and they’re both so elegant too
I love them soo much and am so very proud of ALL Americans getting behind him and electing a man for change in America. I think this is going to be an amazing presidency for the world.
Wow…seems to be a ray of light after 8 years of darkness. The interview left me feeling hopefull. I am glad the election is over and Obama won.
Warms my lil’ heart! Made me tear up too.
