Not that I actually care what sort of dog Obama gets, but it is instructive that Obama is flat-out lying to the face of the American people on the dog issue. The media, of course knows that he is, and they are facilitating it. Dogs end up as "rescue dogs" because nobody wants them. For that reason, Obama has stressed that he will be getting a rescue dog. Because it is the bleeding-heart civic-minded thing to do. But he also plans on getting a puppy, because that's what he promised his girls. Unfortunately, portuguese water dog puppies can cost as much as $2500 a piece from breeders. So no person in his right mind is going to take one to a pound to give a way. Obama has to know this, so, as usual, he is trying to have it both ways, and the press is facilitating him.
Why should any mother dog be punished with a puppy?
