1. That's not a real dog, it's a stuffed animal isn't it? :-)

[enid602]

2. ugh

Ugh; even HE´S lost some of his luster!

[hlthe2b]

4. Geez.... what a grinchy comment...

[Deja Q]

18. The same thing happens when you dunk a cookie into milk

[BlueCaliDem]

51. Are you trying to say something with your Oreo cookie posts?

I dare you to write it in your post.

Come on, be a MAN.

[lunatica]

20. Dogs never lose their luster on DU

Are you having a bad day?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. You're busting on the DOG now?

Jeez... :eyes:

[Sultana]

50. Low

Get a life!

[Bluebear]

3. 3 more years, poochy!

[question everything]

6. Seven (nt)

19. Nice to know every DUer has a crystal ball...

:party:

[question everything]

40. Only confidence in the current leaders

I wonder how many DUers realize, or even care, that if someone else is running against Obama in the primaries in 2012, we might as well kiss winning in 2012, as well as keeping majority in Congress, good bye. For another generation, or until the Republicans fuck up, again.

Yes, I know. Many here would rather have a Supreme Court full of "Thomases and Scalias" - I don't.

That people here are disappointed with Obama - this is their problem. He was not my first choice, not even my second or third, but I voted for him and I knew - more or less - what I was getting.

The problem of all the wide eye "idealists" is that instead of actually listening to Obama they projected their hopes and aspirations on him. No one can be everything for everyone.

And, politics is the art of compromise. If people refuse or cannot accept them, they are going to be disappointed for the rest of their life, in the area of politics, at least.

[Yuugal]

59. and your name is question everything? HA!

"The problem of all the wide eye "idealists" is that instead of actually listening to Obama they projected their hopes and aspirations on him. No one can be everything for everyone."

I guess us wide eyed idealists are questioning why we haven't seen him do one thing in our favor yet. Trillions for war, trillions to make the rich richer, total sellout on healthcare, total coward on gay rights, total coward on EFCA, totally insulting us with endless Rahm-scams, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

[O is 44]

37. you wish. n/t

[Bluebear]

45. LOL

[dflprincess]

5. What? No Bo Christmas video

like Barney always "treated" us to? I'm surprised.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

13. Barney was the only good thing about the Shrub reign.

[rocktivity]

58. DING DING DING! OmmmSweetOmmm, you're our grand prize winner!

Barney was the only good thing about the Shrub reign.

And HE had enough sense to hate Bush, too!



He dropped Barney because Barney nipped him. And Barney nipped him because Barney HATES him.

7. he has better acces to medical care than about 80% of Americans.

Lucky dog!

[WolverineDG]

16. So do my pets

they have better access than me! At least I can afford to take them in for their shots & when they don't look well.

[Parker CA]

8. That can't be Bo, he's not under a bus. nt.

[SIMPLYB1980]

9. He is now.

:(

[jillan]

10. That was one campaign promise that turned out really really well.

[earth mom]

11. Who cares? I bet that dog has better health care than most people in this country. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. We are not allowed to appreciate a picture of a cute dog now?

Just because the dog's family is well-off? My cats get better health care than some people, too. Must I therefore stop taking them to the vet, or should I just refrain from posting cute pictures of them on the internet, lest someone be offended because they look too healthy?

I get kind of tired of these straw-man arguments.

[boston bean]

27. you can enjoy it. just don't think everyone else gives a damn, while rome burns... nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. It's a not a zero-sum game. I can care about the poor AND appreciate cute dog pictures.

One does not preclude the other.

[boston bean]

31. for you fine. not everyone is you and could give two craps about the POTUS's dog

at this moment in time.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

32. So you are posting on this thread... why?

I like cute animals, whether or not they belong to POTUS. I enjoy pictures of them. Therefore I must be a member of the oppressive ruling class. Those good progressive members of the oppressed proletariat who do not give two craps about cute animal pictures probably should avoid looking at them.

[boston bean]

33. I think the dog looks cute, but I can also understand how unimportant it is and why some

don't see the joy in it, at this very moment.

[O is 44]

38. It is a dog, sheesh...

Why does everything have to turn into a personal bash?

[earth mom]

52. Once or twice is one thing, but how many damn threads are there going to be about the dog?

What's next, Bo's girlfriend and their engagement, their wedding and their first baby? :eyes:


Sure the dog is cute, but his cuteness is wearing very thin in the face of endless war, no health care, government mandated highway robbery by the insurance industry, a crappy economy with 6 people for every available job, global warming being flushed down the toilet, and on and on and on.

[tammywammy]

29. Obviously part of you cares. You clicked the thread.

The OP title was pretty obvious what it was going to be about. Then you even took the extra time to post on it.

[PopSixSquish]

12. He Looks Rather Nonplussed by the Snow

Perhaps the cold as well...

[Cleita]

39. He's got his fur coat on. It doesn't bother him. eom

15. Is that an invisible fence collar?

[otohara]

17. He's So Cute -

thanks for posting.

[Deja Q]

21. Most people do enjoy a blizzard

[AnnieBW]

22. Yellow Snow!

Wonder if the groundskeepers will have to remove the yellow snow?

[IndianaGreen]

23. I love Bo

as I did Barney and Socks.

[Raine]

43. Me too

I don't care who the owners are anyway animals are non-partisan.

[MisterP]

30. Bush's cocaine stash spills from hidden WH wall chamber; Bo found in Pennsylvania this morning nt

[alsame]

34. What a cutie. I always enjoy seeing the first pets, even those

owned by Repubs. Animals are not subjected to any negative feelings I may have about their owners. :)

[PopSixSquish]

35. I Swear Barney Was the Smartest Thing Going in the Bush White House

I always liked seeing pictures of him. My college roomate was/is nutso about Scotties...

[alsame]

36. Yes, I enjoyed him and Mrs. Beasley. They were dogs with

spunk, lol.

[Raine]

44. Same here

I LOVE em all. :loveya:

[Kadie]

41. Here is a couple more pics of him playing - pics

so cute...

49. Bo loves the snow

as does my dog. My dog hates rain, but you can't bring him in the house when we have fresh snow outside.

[Solly Mack]

55. LOL. He's having a blast.

Look at all that snow. Shiver

[Raine]

42. I LOVE that dog

THANKS for the picture! :bounce:

[DesertRat]

46. My cocker spaniel loved the snow

She would jump right in and frolic around. She was black and white too. Bo reminds me of her. :)

[BeHereNow]

47. "Standard of living for First Dog better than 99% of US citizens."

Just saying...

BHN

[marmar]

48. Only at DU could a pic of a dog turn into a dogfight between Obama fans/foes.....

Mon dieu......

Peace on earth, and goodwill toward all.

[Number23]

56. And apparently result in a tombstoning

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=130175

The haters absolutely must take every single opportunity to hate, even in a thread about a puppy. Says more about them than about Bo or anything else...

[EFerrari]

57. A lot of people have a really hard time during the holidays. n/t

[applegrove]

53. Bo is such a great dog.

[itsrobert]

60. I never cared about Bush's dog and I don't give a crap about Obama's dog

I didn't vote for a freakin' dog.

But it looks like I voted for a turkey.
