A DOG in the White House (on SO many levels)


"We promised the kids a dog if Barack was elected......that was our bargaining chip.." said Michelle Obama on a panel discussion recently. Aha, so the Obama girls get a dog if they let Daddy run.
Yes, the Obama's are getting a dog IF elected! WHAT A GREAT STORY! It's got everything!
The average American family. Dad and Mom pleasing the kids. A doggie, 'how CUTE!' Oh, aren't these people wonderful?
And, yes, the American Kennel Club is happily involved. And there is a site on which you can vote for which breed! Get EVERYONE involved in this adorable endeavor! You can take part in which dog the Obamas get, imagine the honor?

UHOH! McCain had better not pick Romney for his running mate...the comparison is VICIOUS!

So...which breed? What do you think? I did some thinking to help you along:
BOSTON Terrier? "Would that annoy CLEVELAND? Miami? L.A.?..can't do that"
AFGHAN Hound? "Reminds them of the war...never mind"
ALASKAN Malamute? "Oops..ANWR...we shoulda drilled when the Republicans......can't remind the public of THAT..drop it!"
NORFOLK Terrier? "If you pronounce that correctly, you're in TROUBLE!"
BORDER Collie? "Border...immigration...naaa"
RHODESIAN Ridgeback? "Rhodesia..Zimbabwe...Mugabe. oops"
English FOXHOUND" "Clinton was like a hound for foxes..Lewinsky... I'd better not"
FRENCH Bulldog" "oops..Conservatives don't like the French"
TIBETAN Mastiff? "Dalai Lama.......don't bring THAT up!"
FOX Terrier? "Don't they make a CNN Terrier?"
So.........lots of names are automatically out for Obama, right? Here's my winner:
THE FLAT COATED RETRIEVER. It's the closest thing to an EMPTY SUIT RETRIEVER I could come up with.
ARF! ugh. (By the way, the McCain family has 24 animals. I'm sure that if they adopt a dog soon they'll get this notice, too.........right???? RIGHT? Especially on CNN...Terrier?)

How about mutt?
I think it most appropiate in so many ways, Z.


Are WE the AMERICAN PEOPLE supposed to believe this utter tripe about letting the little girls get a doggie if Daddy gets the whitehouse?

Is this like they will pick their religion after the election?

If Obama is elected there will be more than one b*tch in the White House.

Too funny. Laura Ingraham was telling her listeners to vote for the Poodle.

Z, you're hilarious!
I see Michelle as a Pomeranian lover...eww...snippy and all.
**shiver**

and yuck...they should leave the kids out of it.

Z said...

"leave the kids out of it"...well said, Pinky.

And yes, WV DOTTR..imagine this was all the kids' idea? (thanks, James Carville!?)

Pops...too good!!

Karen...I didn't hear Laura on this..I thought I HAD THE SCOOP (POOPER SCOOP? Never mind!!!)

I had a great time with the different breeds, believe me!!

lol...good grief Z!...maybe a dog should run for Pres eh!

MathewK said...

Huh! Is this for real, are they trying to say that if you don't vote for Obambi, the girls will be denied a dog. Are these people stark raving mad?

MK-We ARE talking about leftistas! So, yes.
Poodles came down from a German water retriever...apparently the Romans liked them. Even the traditional cut comes from protecting joints and organs from freezing water...but then, people don't realize that the French were a GERMANIC tribe originally.
Leave the dogs out of it!
The clintons got a dog when they got to the White House(and a cat) neither were allowed into the resident section, they lived in the basement.
So my view is, if you never wanted a dog in the first place, DO NOT abuse one for political purposes!
But then, we are talking about leftistas...
Good morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!

I think this just goes to show what a good friend of the Obama's Tony Rezko was, selling them just enough land needed for building a dog-run on the side of their Chicago house after he loses...

Pat Jenkins said...

brilliant z, absolutely brilliant!!! but let's hope obama doesn't "fetch" the presidency so as to make this pick mute!!

Z said...

What'd you all think about that link to Romney!? It's one thing to strap your dead grandma on the car like Chevy Chase did, THIS was quite something else!!!

I enjoyed reading all your comments..great stuff!! Imagine using the kids like that for a campaign? It sure smelled like that to me, too. Why make it public..? Because IT WILL SELL BIG IN MIDDLE AMERICA! "Aaaaah..they want a DOGGGGIE!" I guess the extrapolation must be "..we can't NOT elect him now!" It's a little simplistic on my part to suggest people'd really think that way, BUT, getting people involved and voting for the breed, etc., DOES pull people into the campaign. NO doubt about that, right?.....kind of inferring what MK's comment does.

Trouble ahead, folks.

Next time Michelle goes on THE VIEW, she'll probably be knitting or do a scrapbooking presentation. Or maybe cook something? grrrr

elmers brother said...

a Rhodesian for sure..this is the dog I want when I kick the kids out and they're good for hunting lions

Beverly said...

They will go to any lengths, won't they.

Miniature Bull Terrier
A little lie goes a long way

Chihuahua
For ankle-biting foreign policy

Pekingese
From Mao 'till the end of time

Shih tsu
For crappy ideas

Hang on...Didn't Hillary try the same stunt with a cat? Why is it that these leftists need props to make themselves look human and wholesome? I love your little list of doggie choices, z. I wonder what his spin doctors are advising him. You've got your little dog lovers and your big dog lovers. Since he's no doubt already got the vote of Paris and Nicole (Ritchie), he should probably go for the big dog voters...Maybe even a hunting hound. Why not go for the big game?

I think they should adopt a boxer bîtch and call her Barbara.

Wouldn't THAT play well in La La Land?

§;-D

Hey Kevin,

Aren't we supposed to call them Beijingese now?

LOL!

Z said...

All VERY good, everyone!

FT..."boxer bitch barbara"..seeings I'm from CA, you've got THAT perfectly right!

Brooke said...

OMGosh. What a bunch of phonies!

If they have any sense they'll go to a shelter and ADOPT a dog.

But no, they'll wind up with some purebred they'll dump in a few years, a la Clinton.

nanc said...

OH MY WORD!!!

highlarious, z!

why not just a mutt? like its owner?

God forgive me and be with those starving pygmies down in new guinea.

namaste said...

oh that's a chihuahua family if ever there was one. haha. feisty, barky, stuck up.

;)

Z said...

I think MUTT is winning, everybody.
And mutts are good, not elitist, not overpowering, but honest and sincere........well, come to think of it, maybe a mutt isn't the answer for Mr. Obama?

Chihuahua....couldn't you just see it? ick (no offense to Chihuahua owners)!!

Romney adds a net nothing to the ticket; his negatives at least approximate the positives.

McCain NEEDS Alaska Gov Sarah Palin (if he wants to win in November) — whose positives are too numerous to mention here (with no negatives).

– and don’t cite Palin’s lack of experience, since she’s got 10 times that of Obama!!!

Z said...

ted...welcome to geez!

I have a gut feeling that that woman could be our girl and I've been telling people about her!!

Thanks...Romney will force out even more Evangelicals. I don't necessarily agree with them, but it would be far too big a risk for that reason, don't you think?
