17. I doubt he'll pick the labradoodle - that's half-Canadian and half-French if you think about it --
Edited on Tue Jan-13-09 12:13 AM by smalll
he's smarter than walking into an image disaster like that. Those Portuguese water dogs looked nice though; more presidential too.

On edit: did I miss some news today? Did Obama go ahead and pick the labradoodle? That, plus the fact he's having Beyonce ( :puke: ) sing at the Inauguration festivities -- somehow, I'm starting to understand where the ultra-poutragist pro-Obama-impeachment people are coming from! :scared:
