Bo 'Bama In The (White) House

What kind of dog will the Obama's get? Well Americans can rest easy because now one of the greatest questions of our generations has been answered. Bo, a Portugese water dog, has joined the first family as a resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Although this undoubtedly means happiness for Malia and Sasha Obama, animal rights activists are upset that the pampered pooch was a gift from Ted Kennedy and did not come from a shelter.

I can understand why these activists are so upset...I mean they could have used this opportunity to save an animal's life, but the reason they had to get this particular breed was so Malia's allergies would not be bothered. The important thing to remember here is the kids are happy and the dog is happy. Isn't that what matters in the long run?
