Obama Names New Dog After Himself

Too rich. Turns out the new First Dog, is a Portuguese Water Dog.

The identity of the first puppy -- the one that the Washington press corps has been yelping about for months, the one President Obama has seemed to delight in dropping hints about -- leaked out yesterday. This despite White House efforts to delay the news until the big debut planned for Tuesday afternoon.

The little guy is a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog given to the Obama girls as a gift by that Portuguese water dog-lovin' senator himself, Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts. The girls named it Bo -- and let it be noted that you learned that here first. Malia and Sasha chose the name, because their cousins have a cat named Bo and because first lady Michelle Obama's father was nicknamed Diddley, a source said. (Get it? Bo . . . Diddley?)

So that's their story of the name and they are sticking to it. But how coincidental is it that The One's initials are B.O. and the dog is named Bo? The Dog's original name was Charlie, but they changed it to Bo.

Of course they did.

Wow this is really a stretch. Obama could discover a cure for cancer and you'd be against it.............


Clyde on 2009-04-12 14:44:15

Yeah, but the truth is that Obama will not discover the cure for cancer. Neither will his funding of fetal stem cell research, from which no cures have been found. Cures and progress have only been found in adult stem cells - which President Bush funded - and President Clinton did not.

So when you have a reasonable argument to make, Tara, we're listening.


Winston Smith on 2009-04-12 15:10:14

No, dude, Tara was right. This is embarrassing scraping of the bottom of the pundit barrel.

You want to complain about Obama and stem cell research, then complain about Obama and stem cell research, but this thing about the dog's name is just friggin' pathetic.

I guess John Cole was right when he wrote, "It just occurred to me- they have their “in” now. I was wondering how the Malkins and the Red States were going to get their two minute hate on over a puppy, and now that Kennedy is giving it to the Obamas, they now have an excuse to hate… a puppy. Just watch."

Didn't take long, did it?


Clyde on 2009-04-12 21:47:28

You're funny, Winston. Using the word "hate" is so high school. Talk on an adult level and quit making it up as you go along.


Bill Dupray on 2009-04-12 23:55:58

Winston, I was tweaking the guy. Lighten up.


Cat on 2009-04-12 15:54:25

Talk about a stretch, there, Tara.

Obama has yet to work a full day in his life.

Cancer cure? Fat chance!

How many vacations has he had so far? I heard he'll take another in a week or two.

Must be nice to be the king.

And now his highness has a dog named after...none other than himself!

What a jackass!


Clyde on 2009-04-12 21:49:23

Cat, if he'd spend as much time filling high-level government posts (ambassadors, under-secretaries, etc.) as he does getting dogs and pizzas, maybe we'd all feel more like we had a president instead of a girl from the hood.


Winston Smith on 2009-04-12 16:25:13

Cat: "How many vacations has he had so far?"

I believe that he spent a weekend with his family at Camp David.

Cat: " I heard he'll take another in a week or two. Must be nice to be the king."

He's planning a summer vacation which I think we can assume will be in the Summer which is more than "a week or two" away. Summer vacations are luxuries for royalty? Since when?

AuntieCoosa: "The only use a Moslem has for a dog is to eat the left overs . . ."

Obama is not a Muslim. Even if he was, lots of Muslims have pet dogs.

Geez people, if you're going to live in fantasyland, why can't you make up one that's interesting and fun instead of scary, ignorant and bigoted?

(Oh, well, this comment will be deleted, but I gotta call it like I see it.)


Burke Oakland on 2009-04-12 16:48:20

I'm sure there's something here but I'm not quite getting it. Some hidden riff on Pierre Gustave Toutant?

And getting a dog through Ted Kennedy? The Manchurian puppy?


Gin789 on 2009-04-12 16:51:00

To Winston Smith: I lived in Iran for five years and you are wrong. Muslims do not have dogs for pets as they think they are unclean. The only reason these people are getting a dog is they want you to believe they are not muslim. All I can say is I feel very sorry for the little dog as most dogs so not like black people. I would also bet my bottom dollar they they are muslim. People that truly love dogs do not wait until their children are 7 & 11 to get their first dog.


cat on 2009-04-13 08:11:40

Obama's been to Camp David twice now..apparently all that fun in the Hawaii sun wasn't enough R&R for our boy (oh, sh*t is that "racist?)

Then there was Chicago for the Valentine date..what, you missed the pic of MO carrying the paper doggy bag out of the restaurant? (Poor Jackie O, rolling over in the grave...)

And wait-aren't they heading to Chicago again for his daughters' school vacation?

Now the Chicago Sun-Times reports the O family will be spending time on Martha's Vineyard in August.

Two months in office and it's just one big party for these folks.

Winston...give it up, man.

At some point you O supporters will just have to eat crow and admit you've been suckered.


factorAndrew on 2009-04-13 11:15:18

Haha! I must agree. And the sad part is, people will probably vote for him when he runs again. I mean, how blatant does an idiot have to be before his followers realize that he's done nothing but plunder and lie, not to mention sell our very country. It's like we "open-eyed individuals" are all taking crazy pills.


POWinCA on 2009-05-06 13:58:26

Obama's malignant narcissism has no bounds. He had his own personal symbol, presidential seal, latin motto, faux oval office, and greek columns. He threw a $165 million inauguration party during the "worst economic crisis in our lifetimes" which generated 100 tons of trash and emitted millions of tons of CO2. He flew across the country, spewing 2 tons of CO2 merely to sign a spending bill... in an eco-museum.

BO has now become a verb:

  • Waxman: No 'Deem and Pass' - We pass the Senate...

    Hmmm. If Demon Pass is dead (and it is dead according to multiple sources), then they either have the votes and we are just waiting for it, or they would rather lose on an up or down vote so as to avoid the appearance of being Enemies of the State. Since the meeting broke down into chaos, one wonders if they actually have the votes.
    The problem is the sequence. Can the House vote to amend something that isn't the law, as the Senate bill will not be law before the president's signature? The Rules Committee meeting turned into mass confusion when Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman said, "We're not going to 'deem' the bill passed. We're going to pass the Senate bill…I would be against the idea of 'deeming' something -- we either pass it or we don't."

  • Rep. Altmire confirms: NO

    Nancy has about run out of "yes" votes: Congressman Jason Altmire will vote against the latest version of health care reform when the U.S. House of Representatives votes on the bill this weekend. Altmire confirmed that he has decided to vote no in a telephone conversation with KDKA Political Editor Jon Delano. The McCandless Democrat is expected to post a statement on his website later today.

  • JIP: Obama Approval Under Disapproval on RCP

    Tough to be Barry: Real Clear Politics, or RCP for short, is a news site that averages approval/disapproval polls together, forming a very non-partisan system. For the last year and change, I have closely watched the approval of the President. Slowly but surely, it kept going lower and lower and lower. The President was at his peak on January 29, 2009 with an approval of 63.5 and a disapproval of only 19.3, a 44.2% difference. From the beginning of March to the end of June, Obama's approval/disapproval held moderately steady. But then it happened. The President began calling for radical reforms to the American Health Care System. While reform is needed, this "change" that the President was peddling did not sit well with the American people.

  • Will House recon bill surive intact in Senate? ...

    Very clear. Toast: FTA: Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) said Thursday that it is unlikely the Senate will be able to pass a health care reconciliation bill unchanged from what the House passes. Conrad said the Senate Parliamentarian has declined to make rulings on several issues in the bill that Republicans are likely to challenge under the “Byrd rule.” That rule states that, among other things, every provision of a budget reconciliation bill must have a budget impact and cannot be “extraneous.” “Although we’ve spent many, many hours with the Parliamentarian, some things he has not yet rendered a conclusion” on, Conrad said. “He wants to hear from both sides before he does.” Conrad continued: “Do I expect there will be some additional Byrd rule challenges that will be upheld? Yeah. I do.”

  • Another flip from Yes to No: Rep. Michael Arcur...

    Rep. Mike Arcuri (D., N.Y.), a sophomore who had a tough go of it in 2008, will vote nay on Obamacare, both on the House floor and in the Rules Committee. The Rules vote is symbolic, since Democrats outnumber Republicans there two-to-one. But the floor vote could go either way. It is obviously a blow to Pelosi's chances of hitting 216.

    Thanks to Avery for the heads-up on today's atrocity rolling off Capitol Hill.
    Ranking Republican Paul Ryan responds to an NRO query about the news this morning: “The Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that there is currently no official cost estimate. Yet House Democrats are touting to the press — and spinning for partisan gain — numbers that have not been released and are impossible to confirm.
    Boy, a final official number that came in over a trillion bucks would really bite them in the a**.

  • McCain's lead over Hayworth shrinks to 7

    Johnny Mac is also under the all-important 50% support level.
    The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely Arizona GOP Primary voters shows McCain ahead 48% to 41%. Three percent (3%) favor another candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. Following the announcement that Sarah Palin would campaign for his reelection, McCain opened up a 53% to 31% lead over Hayworth in January. The two men were in a near tie in November.
    By my math, McCain's lead shrunk from 21 to 7 in two months. Hmmm.

  • CBO: Obamacare costs $940 billion

    And in the world of Washington speak, somehow spending that much cash actually lowers the deficit by $130 billion. I have a better idea. How about we just not spend $940 billion in the first place? After all, if you are trying to trim your budget, you don't go buying a Lamborghini on a credit card. One more thing. Isn't it funny how CBO can score a bill without an actual bill. Hmmm . . .

  • USA Today editors: The Slaughter Rule is a 'gim...

    Keep in mind USA Today wholeheartedly supports this health care takeover, but even they are disturbed by "deeming" a bill passed without a vote in the House.
    [House] leaders are mulling a rule that would allow the chamber to "deem" the Senate's version of health legislation as passed, without actually having to vote on it. Imagine how useful this trick would be in daily life. You could make unpopular decisions without actually appearing to make them. That excruciating Thanksgiving dinner at your brother-in-law's? You "deemed" that you attended. . . . It's understandable that some House Democrats wouldn't want to cast a direct vote on the Senate bill . . . before moving to change it. But a procedure this transparently gimmicky just adds to the cynicism surrounding the bill and opens it up to unnecessary court challenges.

  • Biden bombs at Correspondents' Dinner

    Biden is funnier when he isn't trying to be funny. This stuff is so lame, he should have gotten the hook. More, if you can stand them, at the link. - "I just got back from five days in the Middle East. It's great to be back to a place where a boom in housing construction is a good thing." - "Liz Cheney is here tonight. Liz has been on a tear. Now she's questioning if Tom Brady is a Patriot." Meh, said the crowd. "What the hell, it was worth a try." - On moving to Washington: "I voted for public housing all my career -- never realized how good it actually is!"
