See Spot Run!
Will a Portuguese Water Dog be America’s next First Pooch? Seriously? Why in the world is that any of our business and how in the world have we become a society that sits in anticipation as the Obama’s dog choice makes the evening news? Yes, it is kind of cute that there are sites online that allow you to vote on the breed of dog they should buy but we already eat, sleep, and drink literally every move of President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Malia Obama, Sasha Obama, and now Spot Obama? You’re kidding me!
Here is my question, if we are this involved in the White House dog, which is really not our poop to scoop and is none our business because it has absolutely nothing to do with the running of this country, should we be privy to other things pertaining to the Barack Obama family? If they are this open with this piece of their life, will they be this open with the not so cutesy stuff?
Since Malia is the oldest I will use her; what if Malia did something wrong? Something that would make the country’s heads roll? Should we be privy to that information also? When do we mind our own business, take care of our own dogs and let them have at least a portion of life that is their own? Shouldn’t some things just be “their” business? They didn’t sign up for a reality show, just the Presidency! I know with some positions in life come instantaneously stardom but at some point shouldn’t a line be drawn and shouldn’t we let them have some family intimacy regarding matters the public never knows about? I’m just saying…
What do you think? Should we get to go inside and be a part of every aspect of the Obamas’ lives? Tell me what you think. Holla back!
Yeah. They’re on the verge of TMI, even though we like them a lot. Let’s keep some boundaries and therefore maintain the level of respect we have for them right now. They’re bound to trip up and show their less than goody good selves at some point, but if I don’t have to – I don’t want to know about it. Ignorance is still bliss….sometimes.
I agree!
Kathy I agree with you, but I see nothing new here. I remember all the stories on “Barney Bush’, and the Clinton’s cat, “Socks,” which made front page news recently when it died.
The entire animal thing is really stupid.
And as for the kids, Chelsea Clinton, went thru it, so did the Bush’s alcoholic daughter…Jenna? The M&M’s need to be monitored by “Momma O’Bamma”, nannies and security very closely. Maybe “PK” has a new meaning.
Half and Half, I like the new PK meaning!
Isn’t it amazing the things we deemed “news worthy”? I am not a big fan of dogs so really, I don’t care. As I said, it is all kind of cute but if you are gonna keep us in the loop for this, keep us in the loop for everything!
I’m so sick of these tabloids pretending to be news orginizations.
(I must be careful of what I say, there’s woman with a gun named Delores looking for me)
This is turning into the Obama reality show, and its stupid. It’s getting a little bit too much. I could care less if they have a dog. I wonder if they even want a dog or if they are doing it for tradition?
I bet those kids want a dog. I know I did when I was that age. I agree with you Kendall, but I think the O’bama family is going to end up being the most covered first family in history. Did you see how many people turned up in Washington in that cold weather? ( Ok I must confess we were there also…lol) we walked 3 miles to get there and I about 1/4 mile away. We did manage to get a front row view on the parade route and they got out of the limo about 200 yards up from us and passed with 15 feet of us. He’s taller than I thought…
Hey Half and Half, we’re going to have to talk! Do you have pictures?
@Kendall Blake – Kendall, I agree wholeheartedly with you!
@Kathy – I do Kathy. What do you have in mind to talk about?
Mary, I am removing this, but if you give me an email address we can talk offline – if you will – and I will do a whole article about this.

Hi Half and Half. Been out of town for funeral. We will talk soon.
Hi Yellow, I am not going to comment. You have a blessed day.
Oh so now I’m yellow huh? LOL!
This is a late entry but I agree with Kendall…who cares if or what kind of dog they may or may not get. I remember lots of things the news reported about the past first families…so..I think while we think they deserve privacy, they, more than any other first family with be “reported” about with any number of things just because they are the first black first family. It’s the price they have to pay I’m afraid.
