[Wait Wut]

1. Aww...

How cute is it that he's getting Bo to look out the window, probably saying, "Look, Bo...that's where Newt lives. Go shit on his lawn!"

Kick and Rec (when I get home)

[rfranklin]

3. LOL...

It's a Bo-bomb!

[Worried senior]

2. I love how much they all

love each other and Bo. Good people.

[DesertRat]

4. Bo looks like a big stuffed animal

He's so cute and obviously well-loved!

[rocktivity]

25. 'Nuff said.

[SecularMotion]

40. Don't forget this classic

President George W. Bush drops Barney the Scottish Terrier on an airport tarmac.

[SunSeeker]

45. What a look of horror on those kids' faces! n/t

[LiberalLovinLug]

53. He handled his dog like a necessary prop

Help me! -

[lunatica]

5. When I was a teenager we had a Great Dane and a Toyota

He took up the entire back seat, lying on the seat and gazing out the window.

His name was Duke. Great dog!

[rfranklin]

43. Did Dad strap you to the roof of that Toyota?

by the way, where are the Obama girls in that photo?

[lunatica]

54. Well he did threatened to do it many times

It usually worked long enough to keep us kids quiet for a while.

[Pirate Smile]

6. Hilarious passive aggresive hit on Romney by Axe on Twitter.

[annabanana]

9. (tweet taken down?). . . .n/t

[Pirate Smile]

14. No. It's still there.

7. Our dog rides in a '94 Nissan Sentra instead of a bulletproof limo

Moose wears a vest that hooks into the seatbelt, too.

We may not have Mitt Romney's money, but our dog knows we love him enough to make sure he's safe when we're riding in the car.

[rurallib]

8. goodness forbid that Romney ever gets anywhere near the presidential limo.

[bluedigger]

10. Hey! Watch what you're putting on the front page, would ya?

Now my dog expects limo service.

[TrogL]

11. That's not how you transport a dog

The dog should be in a crate. Smaller dogs can be on the seat with a special harness that hooks into the seat belt but Bo's just plain too big.

[msanthrope]

13. Lighten up, Francis! nt

[MsPithy]

18. The presidential limo is basically a tank.

No need for Bo to be in a crate, besides, a large crate will not fit in the limo. I would much rather see Bo riding with the POTUS, not restrained, than in some following staff car, where he would not be able to give the President his advice on matters of state.

[tavalon]

30. Yeah, that limo never goes more than five miles an hour

Ask anyone who has ever been held up by the Presidential convoy. They could walk faster than that souped up limo ever does.

[ProfessorGAC]

41. He's Not Too Big

I've got a harness for my dog, and the one we had before that. Walt is 8 months old and weighs around 70# and Barney weighed 95#. They make the harnesses big enough for that.

I use one mostly because in good weather i drive a ragtop and i didn't want my dog becoming a missile because i hit the brakes for a squirrel. But, since they get used to it really quickly, i use whether we're in the convertible or not.

I think you might have to get up into the St. Bernard range before the large harnesses wouldn't fit.

42. The point is President Obama cares about HIS dog. Unlike the dog abuser, Romney.

Who put his dog in a cage strapped to the roof of his car and drove hundreds of miles with the poor dog crapping and panicking.

Not unlike the way the two parties treat people.

[joeybee12]

50. I agree...

[AzDar]

12. Axelrod gives no quarter... Glad he's back.

[undeterred]

15. I saw a Portuguese Water Dog yesterday with a lion cut

Sleek rear end and a poofy tail - it would be fun to see that on Bo.

[schmice]

16. Where's your seatbelt Baracko? Click it or ticket. Other than that, nice pic.

[47of74]

17. Once again....

[KT2000]

19. Bo is a big dog!!

Did not realize that before. Wish I knew what they were looking at.

[Louisiana1976]

20. What a beautiful dog! K&R!

[slay]

21. Ouch - take that Romney!

[jillan]

22. Excellent!

[Texasgal]

24. bUWHAHAHAHAHA!

Love this! I must steal?

I love it!

[tblue37]

28. Here is a better one:

(This is from a post by DesertRat on this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=4860 )

[Granny M]

29. LOL

Thanks - just sprayed coffee all over.......

[tavalon]

31. Yep, it's a hazard around these parts

Keep a spare keyboard. Trust me on this.

[DesertRat]

38. It risky to drink and DU

[tblue37]

51. Well, my dear, YOU were the one who originally posted that beauty,

so all those ruined keyboards can be traced back to you!

I nearly sprayed my keyboard, too, when you posted it and I saw it for the first time. In fact, it never gets old. It's just as funny the 10th time as the first time!

[DesertRat]

56. I try not to drink and DU

Except when watching Republican debates, during which I NEED to drink.

[AtomicKitten]

49. nice hat

[Pirate Smile]

36. There is a "Dogs Against Romney" website and they are on Twitter too:

Dogs Against Romney
The Official Site of Dogs Against Romney(TM) founded 2007. Hi, I'm Rusty. Mitt Romney is mean to dogs. Help me get my message out about the Mitt Romney dog on roof story. Putting a dog on the car roof is abuse. Remember Crate-Gate. I ride inside

[tabbycat31]

47. that is my facebook profile pic

I love it.

[Liberal_in_LA]

23. in a fancy limo

[harmonicon]

26. are they just returning from the vintage phone store? nt.

[bayareaboy]

27. What is he doing with his hand ...

Is that some sort of a vulcan grasp of is he trying force the dog out the window?

Just Kidding!

Good looking pup.

[Rex]

48. It is a controlling stance.

He probably guided the dogs head to look at what he was talking. It is a dad kinda thing to do imo.

[Major Hogwash]

32. Geezus Christ, that dog got huge!!

Man, it seems like it was just yesterday when he got that little dog that could fit in your hand.

Gorgeous color on that dog.

[Rhiannon12866]

33. Awww! Good doggy!

Looks like these two have a special relationship...

[cindyperry2010]

34. My Rottweiler

whom I loved more than I can ever say roder in the car with me because he was part of my family. As does my staffordshire terrier and pitt bull terrier. Family members are treated like that not a piece of furnitre to set on the top of the car.

[Bluenorthwest]

35. I'm in the tank for the dog. Huge fan. If I get a dog one day, this Waterdog is in the

serious running. So cute.

[DesertRat]

39. Pic of the moment on the front page

[MrScorpio]

44. A real Super Pac

[DesertRat]

55. Love it!

[Rex]

46. LOL! I swear that is a 'dad, son' moment!

They are having a conversation! Priceless pic...thanks that goes into the collection.


"How is that Mission Accomplished thingy working out fer ya?"

[Londoncalling]

52. I know BO was bought for the girls

but it looks like he has a great master in Barack there. Bo looks like stuffed toy with a patriotic collar too.

[rocktivity]

57. I never got the sense that Bush spent any time with Barney -- they always seemed to be strangers

and the way Bush often carried him suggested that there also wasn't a lot of time invested in training him properly.

[fire_guy266]

58. I prefer carrying the dog on the roof on the car

Just like the GOP front runner. I don't know what people see in this guy. He is a piss poor excuse for a candidate. They expect this guy to represent the 99%? I suppose there are a lot of stupid people out there.

[Odin2005]

59. Bo is a cute furball!
