WHITE HOUSE: THE OBAMA FAMILY INTRODUCES BO, THE FIRST DOG

Wednesday, April 15, 2009

First lady Michelle Obama walks the family’s new Portuguese water dog Bo, followed by U.S. President Barack Obama and their daughters, Malia and Sasha during the dog’s introduction to the White House press corps at the South Lawn of the White House Tuesday, April 14th in Washington, DC.

The six-month-old puppy is a gift from Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) who owns several Portuguese water dogs himself. This breed of dog is considered a good pet for children who have allergies, as Malia does.

I love the Obama’s! Lord knows I do… I love the way Michelle and Barack can communicate with regular folks as well as other world leaders without a sexon thought and I love their confidence and style. The love that everyone can see that is between them and their kids is awesomely beautiful. BUT. At the same time. President Obama is the leader of the free world and although I udnerstand they want everyone to feel as if they are regular folks like us… I CAN NOT STAND THE FACT THAT THOSE KIDS DRESS LIKE THAT! I mean come on! Please comb those babies hair and have them wearing clothes that match and don’t look like they were purchased at the local Wal-Mart! The Obama’s are no longer regular citizens. Please dress the part! UGH!

Wow, what a blatant grab for attention. Obama looks like a stiff in that suit and Michelle looks uncomfortably walking that dog. Speaking of the dog, why would they accept something so big? Little girls aren’t into big dogs and would had perfered a pup to begin with. Oh, well its not like they’ll have to feed it or walk it unless mom and dad feel like getting some attention(from the media) on the sly.

Mr. Obama and his celebrity wannabe wife need to quit this showboating.

michelle, please don’t perm the babies’ hair!
…she probable just straightened it for easter sunday, but how refreshing would it be to let the kids just be kids, and not conform them to the pressure of having straight, chemically-relaxed hair??? that’s my opinion.

but straight or natural, they’re still beautiful people, michelle and the girls

Those are daddies little girls for sure. First Lady Michelle see now no one can never ever say you don’t keep it real. Because when you can walk around as First Lady in the dogs hair looks better than yours. YOU GO GIRL. The media is all over you in everyone is watching we get what we get. Way to represent that is one of the best in true pictures we have seen of you. Thanks

Correct me if I’m wrong, but a 6 month old dog is still a puppy. A big puppy, but still one. Some people open their mouths just for the sake of doing so.

yeah a 6 mnth year old is still a puppy. I got my dog when he was six mnths and he was the same size as Bo. It just depends on the breed.

You just have nothing else to say. What you said didn’t make a single bit of sense. Go and fly a kite or something…Can’t stand people that just want to be negative for no reason AT ALL.

Those little girls are too cute. @ NYCGURL, what do you want them in? A Baby Phat outfit? What they have on is age appropriate and trendy for children their age. Maybe the girls dressed themselves, thats what kids should do. I think Michelle and Barack are doing an excellent job of keeping their children grounded and giving them a “normal” upbringing inspite of them growing up in a very public environment. I’m glad the girls got their dog.

Go Barack and Michelle 2012!

@17 to Richard do your homework. The media made a big deal out of the Obamas getting a dog. I’m sure they didnt ask for the attention. Alsoo, before they got Bo, he was trained by Senator Kennedy’s dog trainer and what’s wrong with having a big dog? Stop hatin!!!

The puppy is cute

Their clothes look a mess but who cares… They are home in their backyard with their new dog…

Who cares if their hair is straightened or not… Raise your own kids and not other peoples… That’s Michelle’s choice…

Honestly NYCGurl - the fact that they are outside playing with a dog does not mean that they have to look like they just stepped out of a spread for Parenting magazine. I applaud the fact that they do keep it real at all times. If you live in NY (and are black) you should damn well know that if it is misty/rainy nasty outside, no amount of hair combing (or relaxer) is going to keep your hair in place. The weather here in DC has not been a black womans best friend over the last couple of days. And keeping really real, unless you would like for them to try to be white, it is what it is; african american hair is not always weather friendly. Further more who sends their chlidren outside in nasty weather to play with a dog with really nice clothes on. I sure as hell don’t and I have two boys. But best believe that when it is time to go somewhere nice everyone is represented very well! I would like to see what your closet looks like! People in glass houses should not throw stones!

Folks are trippin! I know I don’t look like I stepped off the runway everytime I step out of the house. What makes the Obama family any different? Being the first family doesn’t mean you have to be fierce all the time. They were playing with a dog. I don’t think anyone puts on their Sunday best to play with the dog! Everyone looks fine to me.

And LOL at the Wal-mart comment. These are little girls who look like they grow pretty fast. Are they supposed to spend major money on clothes they will only were a few times just because they can? People that think that way are the same people who would buy their kids the latest Nikes before they pay bills.

I decided to do some reading about the dog’s breed. They can be very difficult to deal with in terms of their love of ALL water, their need to shred things, and their ability to turn on faucets!

Too cute.

The Obama Deception (2009)

The Obama Deception is a hard-hitting film that completely destroys the myth that Barack Obama is working for the best interests of the American people.

The Obama phenomenon is a hoax carefully crafted by the captains of the New World Order.

He is being pushed as savior in an attempt to con the American people into accepting global slavery.

We have reached a critical juncture in the New World Order’s plans. and only by exposing the con can we help to save freedom in America.

The Obama Deception is not about Left or Right: it’s about a One World Government. The international banks plan to loot the people of the United States and turn them into slaves on a Global Plantation.

Covered in this film: who Obama works for, what lies he has told, and his real agenda, and how his initial appointments and actions prove he serves the corporate oligarchs, not the American people.

If you want to know the facts and cut through all the hype, this is the film for you. Found and embedded via Google video.

Honestly, I can’t stand looking at this dog because it’s so ugly (to me). Couldn’t they have gotten a cuter dog–like a dachshund, or a wire hair fox terrier, or at least a Golden Retriever!–but then again, a Kennedy gave it to them…

I have never in my life seen a race of people so obsessed with hair and clothes. Malia and Sasha are children. Children play outside and their hair isn’t always going to be in place. Black women really need to deal with this obsession. I say “black women” because sisters are the only ones I hear whining and crying about someone’s hair. Kids will be kids, so get over it, NYC gurl. Dang, what are you going to do with your children? Call them in every second to make sure every strand of their hair is in place? Again, relax sister. There are bigger fish to fry!
