I actually doubt that the average middle-class woman would be shelling out on Michelle Obama's cheap clothing. Was that meant to show how ordinary Michelle Obama is? If that's her cheap end clothing, then she's not behaving or living like a middle-class woman. And what about her 26 aides? Very middle-class, I don't think! <br />Michelle Obama's background may be middle-class, but she's clearly enjoying the upper-class life that she thinks she's entitled to.AnnaEssehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07897634469630870944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-57957127862208887552009-09-06T11:56:22.090-05:002009-09-06T11:56:22.090-05:00Yeah, That's the story you're telling, art...Yeah, That's the story you're telling, art, as an excuse for not getting a shelter dog. Here's the actual story from People:<br /><br />"Then there are the questions about the dog's origins that are sure to bedevil the Administration. The Obamas originally discussed rescuing a dog from a shelter. But valuable and highly-bred PWDs rarely show up at shelters. Bo is said to have lived with a family that decided not to keep him, but that won't likely satisfy animal rescue advocates who wanted the Obamas to take in a stray. <br /><br />To help ease disappointment, according to The Post, the family will make a donation to the District of Columbia Humane Society."<br /><br />Let's get it straight. Bo was a gift to the Obamas by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, who owned several Portugese water dogs. He wasn't an abandoned dog as you suggest. Even the Washington Post got that right:<br /><br />"The little guy is a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog given to the Obama girls as a gift by that Portuguese water dog-lovin' senator himself, Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts . . .<br /><br />In a statement, the Kennedys said: "We couldn't be happier to see the joy that Bo is bringing to Malia and Sasha. We love our Portuguese Water Dogs and know that the girls -- and their parents -- will love theirs too." <br /><br />The choice of a Portie raised one complication. The Obamas have long said they wanted a rescue dog. But the carefully bred PWDs almost never end up in shelters. Bo had been living with another family, but it wasn't a good fit, so the Kennedys acquired him for the Obamas."<br /><br />Nice try, Wilson.Gary R.

Ted Kennedy paid for some training and then gave the dog to the Obama daughters. Please write an accurate report on the dog if you think that it is even newsworthy.artfugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364503656694166926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-84716563777882396232009-09-06T10:31:10.327-05:002009-09-06T10:31:10.327-05:00BARF -- ME-- WITH -- A -- SPOON!BARF -- ME-- WITH -- A -- SPOON!Concerned Taxpayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952241910289966736noreply@blogger.com
