Its a Rescue Dog...really...um...yeah...

PROMISES, PROMISES: Is Obama dog a rescue or not?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Is Bo a rescued dog or not? Did President Obama keep or break a campaign promise in picking the purebred as the family's new pet?
The twists and turns of the Portuguese water dog's route to the White House make for the kind of intrigue that political junkies and the highly opinionated dog world delight in.

Bo arrives officially on Tuesday—though the administration released a photo on Monday of the new pet romping with the president at the White House.

Barack Obama and his wife Michelle said during the presidential campaign that they had promised their two girls a dog after the election.

The Obamas repeatedly said they wanted it to be a rescued dog such as one from a shelter. Their search was complicated by daughter Malia's allergies, which would rule out many of the "mutts" the president has said he would prefer.

Enter Bo, a 6-month-old puppy given up by his first owner and matched with the Obamas through his breeders. Because he was given up by his first owner as a poor fit and is now with his second owners, the Obamas, but never spent time in a shelter or with a rescue group, Bo is a "quasi-rescue dog," says Wayne Pacelle, chief executive of The Humane Society of the United States.

Here's where the intrigue comes in:

—Bo's breeders happen to have bred Sen. Edward Kennedy's Portuguese water dogs. The Massachusetts Democrat, an Obama friend and political ally, also acquired a pup from Bo's litter. Bo's breeders are fans of Obama and named Bo's litter the Hope and Change litter.

—Bo's first owner lives in Washington.

—Bo was returned to the breeder in early March, fitting the spring timeline the Obamas had given for their dog adoption.

—Kennedy and his wife Victoria helped line Bo up with the Obamas. Before moving into the White House, the pup spent nearly a month with the Kennedys' dog trainer in Virginia.

In fact, Bo is a gift to the Obamas' daughters, Malia and Sasha, from the Kennedys, said Katie McCormick Lelyveld, a spokeswoman for Michelle Obama.

"They were starting their search with shelter dogs, but when the Kennedys learned of this dog and offered it as a gift to the girls, they met the dog, it was a perfect fit for their lifestyle and for Malia's health concerns," she said, adding that the Obamas are making a donation to the Washington Humane Society. "Because this gift came before their pound search sort of was completed, they made a gift to some of the places they were looking."

Still, conspiracy buffs might speculate that Bo was meant for the Obamas all along. Was his adoption engineered to look like a rescue—or at least blur the line to head off criticism that the Obamas had picked a purebred from a breeder?

Is it Bo or Bow?

[revefsreleets]

Yeah, on the rescue dog thing, it's not REALLY news, but isn't that once again kind of breaking a promise?

Why bother MAKING a promise like that if you are just going to go back on your word?

It's a minor issue, but seems to part of a bigger emerging character flaw with this guy...

I didn't realize it was so stylish for the First Lady to wear the White House dining room table cloth.

She dresses like a hoochie mama instead of a First Lady. It's an embarrassment.

Whatever you say, Tony. I will freely admit that I do not like or respect Michelle Obama for a whole lot of reasons, including the fact that I strongly believe she is a racist and an embarrassment as a First Lady, but hate is a very strong word and I hold no hatred in my heart for anyone, including her. So take your assumption and stick it up your ASS.
