Offbeat, U.S.: Michelle Obama: Pissed because Bo gets her up at 5:15 a.m.

  • Even though the kids are supposed to do a lot of the work, I’m still up at 5:15 a.m. taking my dog out. So for everyone who has a child asking for a puppy – you have to want the dog.
  • First lady Michelle Obama • Talking, with a degree of rage, about the new addition to her daily routine. It’s shaped like a Portuguese water dog named Bo. We’re guessing she doesn’t walk the dog wearing anything sleeveless. • source

Culture: Well, that was quick: A book on Bo, the Obama dog, is coming

  • Bo’s thoughts on the novel? “Woof.” It must run in the family; Bo won’t be the first Obama with its own book, but “America’s Commander in Leash,” as indie publisher Mascot Books titled said book, will have a kid’s book by the end of the month. Quick advice to Mascot Books: It’s April 16 already. You’re shipping by April 30. You might want to proofread really well. source

Offbeat, U.S.: Ohmigawd! Ohmigawd! The Obamas picked a First Dog!$@

  • The dog is a Portuguese water dog that Barack Obama’s daughters named Bo. Bo is six months old and black and white and awesome and lovable. Awwwww. source
  • The dog is a gift from Ted Kennedy, which means that some will probably criticize the dog for being too liberal, but we know the truth – dogs are apolitical. source
