Who let the dog out? That's the Washington mystery du jour. The identity of the first puppy -- the one that the Washington press corps has been yelping about for months, the one President Obama has seemed to delight in dropping hints about -- leaked out yesterday. This despite White House efforts to delay the news until the big debut planned for Tuesday afternoon. The little guy is a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog given to the Obama girls as a gift...

[JoeProBono]

Oh well

[Victor]

I want one....is he cute or what?

[JoeProBono]

Nah

[Repeat Offender]

Someone double check his rabies tags and breed papers to make sure they’re legit...... Hurry, before bammy has them sealed in Hawaii

[digger48]

Did the Obamas demand the pedigree papers before accepting this dog as a possible candidate?

So they got a dog. Big deal. Yet they guard this information more carefully than they would information that is vital to national security. I feel sorry for the two little girls. All they wanted was a puppy, but they had to wait until the older one was almost in high school before they got one. It’s hard to figure out this family.

“The girls” seem so thrilled. /s

Another political move by Obama and the MSM eats it up!

[Mmogamer]

There’s far more important stuff to be reporting, like the pirate thing maybe? sheesh

I currently have two Porties. My mother in law breeds them and I was worried 0bama was going to get one of her current litter. If anyone is interested i have the real story of the origin of 0bama's dog. I think there is a lie brewing...of course...we'll see in the next few days

BTW Breezy Dog is my first Portuguese Water Dog who suddenly died at the age of 8.

And right before tax day, Go figure!

[Squantos]

Bet he’s quicker to fess up his papers / lineage than BHO is .....

[getarope]

Hopefully, Bo will do diddly on Zero’s shoes!

[chemicalman]

So now they have a first puppy to go with the first dog...Michelle.

Cute dog. Hope his fate is better than Bill Clinton’s dog Buddy.

You know the dog he got to replace Hillary’s affections after his “man and woman made altercation.

We have a 5-month-old Poodle/Chihuahua mix that looks just like their new dog. The strangest thing is that there's a website that says the dog's original name was "Charlie", and they changed it to "Bo". The children of our dog's breeder named him "Charlie", and we kept that name! I'm just glad that the messiah's kids changed their dog's name! I remember when my Clinton got a dog and named it the same name as my parents': "Buddy" (not that it's an original name). It just "tainted" the name in a weird way. Here's our puppy (and believe me, it was MUCH cheaper than the $1400 that Portuguese Water Dogs go for!
