I agree that there is a lot of ugliness in these postings. Can’t people just chill?? This is supposed to be fun, not a character assassination forum! This guy has done a lot for this country, I agree, and this partisan hate mail turns me off. Obama is going to get a dog if he wins or loses. The fact that he doesn’t already have a dog doesn’t mean he would not love the dog he eventually gets! He has been very busy for years, and has two homes. in DC and in Chicago. Dogster and I will not miss you, Jennifer.

If the Obamas get a dog, research on the breed/type of dog to get only makes sense. That is true for anyone considering adding to their family. Not sure why this should be a political debate, for heaven’s sake. There are plenty of other forums for that sort of thing.

There are so many dogs in rescue because people impulsively get dogs before they learn what care they need. Obama or anyone else, should learn more about dogs before they get one, and be willing to care for that dog for its lifetime. If more people did their homework before getting a dog, there would not be so many dogs in rescue.

A poll revealed that more pet stewards favored McCain than Obamarama. McCain already has Sam the English springer spaniel, Coco the mutt, turtles Cuff and Link, Oreo the black and white cat, a ferret, three parakeets and a bunch of saltwater fish. THIS should be talked about –even a ferret–that’s completely awesome. My ferret, dog and saltwater fish will be voting for Sen. McCain.

These people who are supporting Obama need to really think about him. His messianic rock star cult following don’t have a clue about him and what he stands for. He’s nothing more than an empty suit who would crash and burn if he ever gets outside of his handler’s control.

I am sick of Obama period. If he has not gotten a dog by now becoming President of the US is no time to get one. A dog and especially a shelter dog needs tender loving care and Obama’s children are still too young to be that responsible. Who then will do most of the “caring” ? Probably White House Staff …I am sure they would treat it with care but the dog needs a family that loves it and I think the Obama’s would be able to give it that care.

Definitely adopt a dog! They are the best!!! And Mr. future Presdidnt, if you want a “purebred”…..you can still get one through a rescue group. It may not have the papers, but who cares???

When you get a dog through rescue, you eventually wonder…who rescued who? When you’re stressed, tired, and just plain want a friend, your dog will be there.

Getting a dog for Obama will not help him at all!!!!
He is a looser.
