Far more interesting is how the president reacts to the dog. You can't fake nice. Obama is genuinely a nice guy.

I really enjoyed watching Brian Williams coverage of the Obama White House. The piece definitely shows that our President and his staff are working incredibly hard for the people. His staff was made up of mostly young and a very diverse group of folks. It was nice to see and most impressive was their tireless attitude.
Tomorrow, "Bo" gets a chance for his exclusive!

I co-sign that. It was sooo nice to see an intelligent, cohesive staff working together. Contrast that with the Cheney/Bush administration turning against each other. I truly believe that everyone who served in that administration always slept with one eye open.

I thought Bo was suppose to be Malia and Sasha's dog. The First Lady says she walks Bo in the morning and the President walks him at night. Maybe once the girls is out of school for the summer they will take on more responsiblity with Bo. But Bo is a cutie.

We had two dogs our mother walked and trained them while we were in school and doing all our extracurricular activities. We did our part when we could but our mom did most of the work, and we did most of the playing. The funny thing is one of our dogs was my dad dog and my dad did the least with him. The other was my brothers dog, you never know why dogs attached themselves to one family member over the other. Bo has obviously attached himself to MO.

Dogs are hard wired to behave as pack animals. They are loyal to the leader of the pack.

You can just see that Bo has turned into Obama's dog.

Oh Pulease.....that dog is Michelle's dog. You see who it turned to for treat/praise when it did the handshake trick.

Yeah, and as soon as Bo gets older and territorial he is going to start peeing on any place Barney left a scent. How much will that cost the American taxpayer?
