Feeling the Heat from the Press, Obama Releases the Hounds.

(if you'll allow me a bit of humor)

It's the oldest trick in the book. What does a man do when he's trying to win the affection of the object of his desire? He brings a dog.

Bo the dog ran down the aisle of Air Force One tonight, pool got a big kick out of this. Obama repeated Truman's joke about WashDC & dogs

Soon, Bo, like his master, got tired of the pool and went to the front cabin. Bo took no questions, nor did the President

Obama family, Bo, touch down in Chicago. Pool report

Chicago pool report #1
By Anne E. Kornblut
White House Correspondent
The Washington Post


Shortly after takeoff, a surprise gaggle on Air Force One: with Bo, the
presidential dog.

His owner was just a few steps behind.

President Obama watched and smiled as Bo ran down the aisle past a throng
of cooing reporters. Obama cracked the old joke about needing a dog in
Washington - since there's no such thing as a real friend.

Someone told him that Bo had been spotted at the airport interacting with
his bomb-sniffing relatives. "I didn't want him getting into it with the
Secret Service. I've seen them training," Obama said.

Coat jacket off, Obama seemed happy and relaxed during his brief foray to
the back of the plane. (Credit to deputy press secretary Bill Burton for
orchestrating the rare visit on a moment's notice).


Like owner, like pet. Bo tired quickly of the media, and headed back to the
front of the aircraft. Obama followed suit, but not before assuring us that
the dog was just going to see someone who feeds him regularly. Neither one
took questions.


Bo made another spin through the press cabin a few minutes later, solo.

Uneventful trip otherwise. Wheels down 7:02 PM CST.
