  Doggy (and Girly) Obama Drama

  well on the subject of popularizing a specific breed and the over breeding of those dogs as a result, i agree. this is a very real issue and should be considered. however, are we stepping over the issue behind their choice of a hypo-allergenic dog? while i fully support adopting shelter dogs before going to the breeders, shelter dogs dont provide the anti allergy guarantee that some pure breeds do.
  in my opinion, the labradoodle would be the perfect dog for a family like the obamas. labradors are known for being the perfect family dog for all ages; poodles are extremely intelligent and loyal, plus they provide the hypo-allergenic factor; both breeds are hardy dogs with all the best qualities, especially for a family in the obama's situation. they are loyal, protective, smart, eager to please, active yet not high maintenance, hypo-allergenic, pretty enough to be pleasing to mom and kids, sturdy and handsome enough to please dad and most of all loyal, steadfast buddies for the kids.
  as for mr obama's use of the word "girly"....SO WHAT! just because a man doesnt want a dog that makes him feel like he cant roll around the yard with it or might even make him feel "less manly" for some reason, doesnt make him the eternal feminist pig. i've watched and studied his wife.....i dont think she'd be married to that sort of man. i think our new president is just a "tell it like it is" sort of person who may not always realize how what he says off the cuff will be taken by the general public.
  even if i didnt vote for him...which i didnt; i dont support all he stands for....i still think he's got some good ideas and can do a good job. let's just hope he does more good than harm. and he's not even in the white house yet and everyone's already jumping on his case....let's just give the guy a break already!
  i think people who bash the president are just as bad as who they say he is! putting someone down is not a positive attribute. let's try to support this president instead of bring down the person our country has elected to TRY and bring us back to decent life!
