HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama says he won't just be a president for the American people, but the animals too. "What about animal rights?" a woman shouted out during the candidate's town hall meeting outside Las Vegas Wednesday after he discussed issues that relate more to humans, like war, health care and the economy.
Obama responded that he cares about animal rights very much, "not only because I have a 9-year-old and 6-year-old who want a dog." He said he sponsored a bill to prevent horse slaughter in the Illinois state Senate and has been repeatedly endorsed by the Humane Society.
"I think how we treat our animals reflects how we treat each other," he said. "And it's very important that we have a president who is mindful of the cruelty that is perpetrated on animals."

Are they more worthy than the unborn humans to him?
Maybe Obama will win the Pander Bear award.
I’m sure he’ll treat animals better than he does Republicans.
Obama is going to run as the compassionate liberal.
The good news is that we’ve finally found a Presidential candidate who’s qualified to be a Dog Catcher.
Edward can do better. He will sue everything in sight if the animals come up with a complaint against some deep pockets.
I ain’t chicken feed anymore.

“Pander Bear award.”
LOL
Great, does that mean I can register my wife's kitty to vote? Wait, nevermind. She's a Democat.
Well you could, but it would certainly help if it was dead, if the kitty’s owner is a democrat. LOL
But it’s OK to put babies down?
Including the right to vote no doubt.
Obama's new buzz words, "Animal Suffrage".
Obama just scored a point for this voter!
Now if Fred would confirm he is for animal rights (to not suffer agonizing deaths), I would be a happy Republican!
Exactly that, and much, much worse: Peter Singer
Singer advocates not only abortion, but infanticide, euthanasia of the handicapped, and the legalization of "zoophilia" (bestiality).
Just having fun. Don’t give it a moments thought.
Take care.
Singer is a class-A nutjob who belongs in some secure psych ward somewhere.
What about insect rights?
Can we also get recognition for cabbage rights? Carrots, too? And how about boiled collards?
I feel badly about all the bacterium killed at hospitals also.
Can we play a dirge for euglenas?

Good grief! Where do they get these writers from?
