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.

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.
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?
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.
Winston, I was tweaking the guy. Lighten up.
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!
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.
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.)
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?
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.
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.
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.
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:

But Dr. Pachauri and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are now under intense scrutiny, facing accusations of scientific sloppiness and potential financial conflicts of interest from climate skeptics, right-leaning politicians and even some mainstream scientists. Senator John Barrasso, a Wyoming Republican, called for Dr. Pachauri’s resignation last week. Critics, writing in Britain’s Sunday Telegraph and elsewhere, have accused Dr. Pachauri of profiting from his work as an adviser to businesses, including Deutsche Bank and Pegasus Capital Advisors, a New York investment firm — a claim he denies. They have also unearthed and publicized problems with the intergovernmental panel’s landmark 2007 report on climate change, which concluded that the planet was warming and that humans were likely to blame.

The share of the blame comes as cracks are beginning to show in Emanuel’s once-impregnable political armor... on Capitol Hill he’s under fire for poor execution of the president’s healthcare agenda in the Senate... Senate Democrats grilled White House advisers last week during a special Senate Democratic retreat, expressing frustration over the lack of a clear plan. While Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) ripped chief political strategist David Axelrod, Senate Democrats say Emanuel, who was more closely involved in managing negotiations in Congress, also deserves scrutiny.

Michelle Obama defended her husband against some of his most vocal critics, saying President Obama did a "phenomenal" job this year and that change is a long-term process. The first lady talks about her nationwide campaign called "Let's Move." "I think my husband has done a phenomenal job staying on course, looking his critics in the eye, coming up with clear solutions against staying the course," Michelle Obama told Robin Roberts in an exclusive morning television interview on "Good Morning America." "That's what leadership is. But people have the right to criticize the President of the United States."Let me finish that last thought for you, Michelle. I see you rubbing your hands together and thinking, "Yes, for now people have the right to criticize him, but we're working on changing that."

In his letter, being sent out to Arpaio supporters today as part of a 100,000-person national direct mail drop, the sheriff calls Hayworth's decision to challenge McCain "courageous." And he pledges to help Hayworth "every step of the way." "Senator McCain has served this country admirably but it's time to replace his moderate or even liberal positions on taxes, the border, social causes and big bank bailouts with a consistent conservative like J.D.," Arpaio continues. "After years of running over Republican principles his entire career no election year conversion to our way of thinking will save his campaign from voters that want conservatives to be a part of the solution rather than part of the problem," he says.

McCain now finds himself jammed, moving starkly — and often awkwardly — to the right, apparently in an effort to gain favor among the same voters whom Mr. Hayworth, a consistent voice for the far right, could pull toward him like taffy come summer. McCain now sharply criticizes the bailout bill he voted for, pivoted from his earlier position that the Guantánamo Bay detention facility should be closed, offered only a muted response to the Supreme Court’s decision undoing campaign finance laws and backed down from statements that gays in the military would be O.K. by him... “John is undergoing a campaign conversion,” Mr. Hayworth said. Hayworth’s radio-personality bluster and big emotions.. may now have a part in the greater populist narrative that threatens many of the nation’s more centrist Republicans.

Iran said Tuesday that it had begun producing higher-grade enriched uranium, marking a new and potentially dangerous turn in Tehran's confrontation with the West over its nuclear ambitions... U.S. National Intelligence Director Dennis C. Blair told the House intelligence committee last week that "Iran has the scientific, the technical, the industrial capacity to produce enough highly enriched uranium for a weapon in the next few years and eventually to produce a nuclear weapon. The central issue is a political decision by Iran to do so."

I wouldn't want my fingerprints on anything this administration or congress proposes. Reid told reporters the bill would be introduced on Tuesday, and that it would include an extension of the tax breaks... Reid did not say how expensive the jobs bill would be. The Senate had been considering a package of roughly $80 billion. The House passed a larger jobs bill before Christmas, but now plans to unveil a different bill independent of that package, which did not garner Republican support.

Back in November, the House passed its health care bill by a narrow 220 to 215 margin, with 39 Democrats voting against it. Since then, the one Republican who voted for it — Joseph Cao — has indicated that he would not support the bill a second time around given the weaker language on abortion in the Senate version. In addition, Florida Rep. Robert Wexler already retired prematurely. Factor in Murtha’s death today, and Pelosi is down to 217 votes — one short of passage. To pass the bill at some point in the next few months, she’ll need to flip a Democrat who is already on record voting against the bill.

Don't think that Republicans can't be sucked in when an anti-Wall Street lynch mob gets its blood up. Recall that Sarbanes-Oxley, the devastating antigrowth response in 2002 to the Enron and Worldcom scandals, was passed with virtually unanimous support by Republicans in Congress, and signed by a Republican president. Recall that last year 85 House Republicans voted for a 90% tax on bonuses for any employee of any bank that took more than $5 billion in TARP money. Investors got some good news last Friday. Stocks resisted following through on Thursday's sharp plunge after (Congress) reached an impasse on bank re-regulation. That's a nice down payment on what investors need a lot more of now: proof that the GOP won't join Democrats in a populist rush to seek revenge against Wall Street.

Just two years after Mr. Obama helped his party pull in record Wall Street contributions — $89 million from the securities and investment business, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics — some of his biggest supporters, like Mr. Dimon, have become the industry’s chief lobbyists against his regulatory agenda. Republicans are rushing to capitalize on what they call Wall Street’s “buyer’s remorse” with the Democrats. And industry executives and lobbyists are warning Democrats that if Mr. Obama keeps attacking Wall Street “fat cats,” they may fight back by withholding their cash.

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