You just want to squeeze those big white bear paws! I also love that the girls obviously are allowed to dress themselves. Way to create confident, independent young women, Michelle!

Congratulations on your new dog.

What a beautiful American family picture!

Nothing about Liberals is beautiful.

I really like the Obamas; it really seems like they both try very hard to do what is right, for their family, and for the country. Michelle comes across to me as very sincere and no one to take any bull :). As much as I like Barack, I think she really is the core of this family. The love their family seems to have sets an amazing example. And Bo Obama (same initials as Barack) seems like the icing on the cake. I hope they enjoy him for a very long time. A bit ironic that his name was "Amigo's New Hope"; seems extremely approprimate for such a dog to join the Obama family, since he is bring change and hope to our country. :)

Also - anyone else notice how tall Malia is getting? She's almost as tall as Michelle, and she's only 10? My son is around 5'6", 14, and envious of her height! Gorgeous, too. They really set a great example.

I was just thinking the same thing; she has her parents height it seems.

Bo seems to be smarter than Hannity, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh combined. He should host his own TV or radio show.

Don't forget Ding-Dong O'Reilly!

Given to them by Sen. Ted Kennedy, the dog has already begun howling about Universal Health Care for Pets.

As the mom of three "special needs" cats, I am so on board with that.

It looks like the Obama women won and they got their girlie dog. :)) Sorry Mr. President. He looks very happy with it though.

The dog is only six-months old. He will probably grow up to be a large dog once he becomes two years old.

Bo's beautiful!

[canuck4barack]

I agree, it is a beautiful photo! It signifies new beginnings with the spring foliage and cherry blossoms blooming, the new puppy, and the new first family in the White House!

Ok, now I am now on a sugar high...too much sweetness and cuteness in any one day...the First Family rocks...an­d Bo, too too cute!

[myworld]

That dog is the icing on a GREAT cake .Go first pooch Bo Obama!

[CinciKid]

i really love the last picture. what a wonderful family. the dog is cute too!

[eden4barack08]

My goodness..­.as if there wasn't already too much cuteness going around in this family...a­nd now a super adorable puppy too. I don't know how much more sweetness my weak heart can take, in the mean time I'm enjoying it all.

Thank you Mr President and First Family and First Granny and Bo!

BTW, that's quite a big pup at only six months, is he going to be huge when fully grown?

[Housewife]

Wikipedia sez 40-60lbs. Here's the link:

Wow....he'­s adorable.

I SINCERELY hope that their selection of this beautiful Portugese Water Dog for their family doesn't create this wave of shady puppy mills that only want to capitalize on this cute little fluffy-wuffy.

[Sparty1]

That's a really cute puppy. He's almost as cute as my dog, Java. ALMOST.
