1. We're going to be pestering him over enough things for the next eight years...

... at least let the man pick his own damned dog.

2. It's a matter of perception

Adopting a shelter dog would send out an important message to people and show that shelter dogs can be cute and a good find.
He will be picking out of own dog obviously.

3. If we make it a matter for public referendum, the Freepers will make him adopt a timber wolf. n/t

4. This is his family. Let the girls decide. We don't run his private life.

If we can't trust him on this decision, why the hell is he president?

5. I'm not petitioning what the Obama family should do.

Let the daughters choose their puppy.

6. He's already said he wants to get a shelter dog

He doesn't have to be petioned for this decision. The type of puppy they get should be a family decision.

I think we ask to be too involved in his life. Please let them make this decision on their own.
