Bo The Dog Ticker

BREAKING NEWS—FIRST DOG DISRUPTS FIRST FAMILY—BALL BARKING ROUSES BARACK AND MICHELLE—STILL CUTE—BREAKING NEWS

Michelle Obama took questions today from a group of about 160 8- to 12-year-old children, who were visiting the White House as part of a bring-your-child-to-work day. The questions were, taken as a whole, pretty good. What will happen if something bad happened to the country? (Michelle said she would wake up her husband.) What’s your least favorite thing to do in the White House? (Running the tread mill) Do you like cooking for your family even though you have cooks and all that? (“I don’t miss cooking.”) But the big news was about what Bo the dog did last night. To the tape:

Q   Well, what does your dog like to do?

MRS. OBAMA:  What does my daughter –

Q    Your dog.

MRS. OBAMA:  Oh, my dog.  Oh, the dog.  (Laughter.)  Oh, he is a crazy dog.  He — you know, he loves to chew on people’s feet. (Laughter.)  I’ll tell you a story about Bo last night.  It was like 10:00 p.m. at night, everybody was asleep, and we hear all this barking and jumping around, and the President and I came out and we thought somebody was out there.  And it was just Bo.  (Laughter.)  He was playing with his ball.  And it was like there was another person in the house.  He’s kind of crazy.  But he’s still a puppy, so he likes to play a lot.

    Obama Stumbles? Why the President’s Right to Talk About Bain

    The meme of the day in journo-world is that President Obama has stumbled at the outset of the general election campaign. The evidence for this? Well, uh, there isn’t very much, really–except that a few Democrats have criticized his campaign’s attacks on Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital and that Obama’s fundraising is merely humongous, instead of obscenely humongous. The two phenomena are linked, of course: Obama isn’t getting the usual haul from Wall Street because he has outrageously–outrageously!–tried to regulate the bankers who did so much to crash the economy in 2008. The handful of Democrats squawking are people who either (a) get money from private equity firms or (b) have retired and joined Mondo Casino. But there is another side to this story:

    Come on MS you can do better than this. There is so much going on and all you can come up with is filler?

    Why doesn’t Bo have a twitter account yet!

  • formerlyjames

    Barking for no good reason, jumping around and playing crazy after bedtime. Have the Secret Service keep an eye. Bo is displaying repugthug tendencies.

  • formerlyjames

    I forgot to mention the feet chewing and display of gross immaturity.

    Micheal tweets that he’s going off the grid for four days, but his last two posts suggest that he’s already gotten a head start!

    I’m more interested who’s coming out on top in the Pelosi/Stewart fight.

    .
    Fight? Pelosi was on with Jon Stewart last week.

  • FlownOver

    Can’t wait for tonight’s Daily Show. I’m betting JS will offer a very limited apology, then watch out. The pols need to remember Stewart thrives on making others look stupid, and he gets to skip even any semblance of journalistic ethics. His job is to get laughs

  • yoshiattack

    SG, the little voting controversy found elsewhere on your link. I think it’s in the previous snippet story. Pelosi accuses Stewart of slander, Stewart stands his ground, then they have an interview in which neither of them bring it up.

  • amabaie

    This is vute, but is it news? I mean, what was she wearing when she was awoken by the dog?
