This IS NOT Parody!
The somewhat less than conservative Huffington Post has the details.
Now that Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has chosen his running mate, it’s time for him to concentrate on another important selection: family dog. The American Kennel Club® (AKC) announced today that the public has elected a Poodle as their breed of choice for the Obama family.
The AKC launched its poll to find a breed for Obama (www.presidentialpup.com) after reports that – win or lose – the Obamas promised their two daughters a dog after the presidential election. More than 42,000 people cast their vote over the seven-week campaign. The Poodle clinched the nomination after the breed battled it out with the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier in a race almost as tight as Clinton and Obama’s run for the Democratic nomination for president. The Poodle won by a (dog) hair, with just a few hundred votes separating the top two contenders.
Do we really want a poodle in the White House?

Hell no. Didn’t we already send a Poodle back to the pound last election?
[…] the humor story of the day (though I doubt the HuffPo folks thought it was humor,) This Ain’t Hell has the story on what kind of 1st Puppy Barry should get. Sphere: Related Content If you […]
Why am I not surprised?
Of course, how did we not know that a poodle would be a racist choice;
“Hmmm, could we please pass on the poodle? Perhaps most of you did not/do not realize that Black people have been called “poodles” because of the supposed resemblance of poodle fur to Black head hair. Sooo…… i say a resounding NO! to that idea.”
Maybe instead of a dog, the First Pet could be a weasel? 🙂
Are you serious? First of all, who cares? He can have a rat as his pet for all I care… Right now, how about we focus on electing someone qualified into the office and let THP continue with their par-for-the-course ridiculousness?
Were the “voters” given the choice of a gerbil?
LOL @ 509th Bob – You are a bad boy! I know because a similar thought ran through my head.
My Sheepdog threw up a little in her mouth.
Poodles leave her with a dry taste.
Great Pyrenees Dog for presidential housedog.
I had to say that or she would make me be dogfood.
Bet Sarah won’t bring a poodle to DC.

Ray beat me to it. I thought KERRY was the poodle.
