The First Pets are adorable.
Bo is looking like “hey…what about me? I was here first, you know”.
And they were adorable on the 10th PuppyBowl as the pups coaches! I’m a sucker for cute animals.
He’s got to be good at something because he sucks as a president!
I love pictures of Presidents playing with their dogs & kids! Its nice to see them being regular old husbands & fathers
See, this is what I don’t get about American politics. It’s so showbizzy. I don’t care what kind of a father or husband my president is. I don’t care if he had affairs. I want him to be a good president.
My country is very Catholic, yet we have an atheist prime minister and an agnostic president. Our First Lady is still employed. I don’t even know how many kids the prime minister has. Those things are not important.
@Zadie, I think we’re from the same country! And I completely agree. I’ve never seen such pictures with any of our politicians.
Where do you live? Holland?
I wish we had the same approach to things.. in my country we know all the hookers a politician has been with.. and some of them are in the parliament too.
Sad and f-ing hilarious at the same time.
I agree with you about it being to showbizzy Zadie (but I think it might be more so here lately with the last few presidents)
I think you’ll find there are quite a few countries like that in Europe. 😉
For what it’s worth, I agree – a president’s private life shouldn’t matter much.
Especially considering that hardly anyone is a saint.
I’m from Croatia, and we have a lot of crappy politicians, don’t get me wrong, but their personal life is no big deal. That might be because we have a parliament system, so you choose the party and not the person. Although, when we choose a president we choose the person and not the party, but no one cares about his marriage or kids or whatever. If he had an affair it would probably be a scandal, but he wouldn’t step down, and I doubt he wold lose votes.
There are some negative sides to it. One of our politicians ( quite high placed) ran a person over. HE stepped down from office when he had to go to jail ( not when he ran the person over, not when he was found guilty – when he physically had to go to jail).
Yep, we’re from the same country. Also interesting, our former prime minister was a divorced single mother and head of the biggest right-wing party. Could something like that happen in the US?
I agree that a President’s social life shouldn’t be part of the discussion, but unfortunately, its just the way it is. America was founded by Puritans &, for as secular as parts of it are, it still retains a LOT of Puritanical ways of thinking
He’s gotten really gray…most presidents do while in office, 0.
That’s because most presidents are either in their fifties or sixties. They’d go gray even if they were never elected.
True…
And I think the stress adds to it.
I love Michelle’s stance and look on her face. It seems to say, “Really, Barack? We’re trying to take a photo and you’re on the floor?”
She probably wouldn’t say that, and would probably get on the floor with the dogs too, but that just looks like what she’s thinking 🙂
LOL, Michelle is totally giving Sunny a look of “Check yourself, girl.”
LOL!
LOL, watch out Sunny. Such a cute photo. Gonna use it as a screen saver for the week.
I see it too, katy.
Maybe this one’s posed, but Michelle giving The Prez (or is it the puppy?) the side eye reminds me of The Daily Mail’s hilarious “Michelle Is OVER Barack!” photo assumption story. – http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2550129/So-Michelle-Barack-Obama-What-IS-state-union.html
Gah! Bo’s white paws are killing me! Soooo cute!!
Well, there is a second dog there she could be petting. Not being political – her body language tends to give me the impression she’s a very strict, not very pleasant person.
Michelle is very affectionate with the dogs I just saw a video of her and the dogs wishing Ellen Degeneres a happy birthday.Very sweet
the dogs love her. this is clearly a posed picture where (I’d bet) that the photographer told her to give the Prez and the pup a “look”.

Dogs don’t jump into the laps of people they don’t like or people who don’t treat them with love and kindness.
I saw Mrs. Obama and the two first dogs in the pre ceremony of the puppy bowl Sunday it was all so cute and funny! I think Bo’s side eye in one of those photos is a hoot!
I would really like for the ground Zimmerman currently standing on to open up and swallow him whole, so he’s never seen again.
^ LIKE
The blind item must be Bey. Say it ain’t “So so so so so.”
That has got to be her, no one else comes to mind. Ridiculous!
“Aaron Rodgers & Jessica Szohr are dating again.” So Ed Westwick’s FREEE?!?!?!? MINE!!!! 😀
Hey, for those posting about the Puppy Bowl..those pups had some moves this year! Almost more exciting than the real thing. That one border-collie type pup who pulled at the ref’s socks, faked a distraction at the water bowl and then went for a touchdown…MVP! imho.
Oh God, I LOVE the puppy bowl, ha ha! I watched it too and you’re right: the puppy who pulled on the ref’s socks was awesome!
UGH. That tweet from Stephen King.
Dismissing her claims and calling her a b*tch too? Stay classy.
I didn’t see where he called her a B…. Was it in a continued tweet?
Say it aint so King! I can only imagine UMO and UMF are picketing outside his house over this.
Before I was a survivor of assault I was certainly guilty of blaming the victim when they spoke out before It happened to me. And only 1 time they were found to have made it all up.
And I can’t believe I agree with Lena. It’s shameful so many feel like they can’t speak up about it and even worse when 1 false story somewhere in the world makes a terrible crime only continue to torment the victim.
The word he used was “bitchery”, and it’s definitely aimed at Dylan. I participated in yesterday’s discussion on the case, and as heated as it got, I don’t personally feel anyone was flat out critical of Dylan (Mia, yes). How Steven King doesn’t realize he crossed a line, I don’t know.
I think Steven’s been a little off since his accident. I don’t like how he outright criticized Thirty Shades of Grey. Not that the book doesn’t suck, but you don’t see Meryl Streep going around mocking poor actors, or Yo-Yo Ma putting down musicians, etc. Your high quality of work speaks for itself, and you should be a little more gracious to the poor suckers lacking talent.
Stop posing for picture.
Help your country over the others.
Love the pic. I didn’t know the Obamas got a second dog. Adorable. I love that whole family.
Michelle and Bo do look a bit jealous! Bo used to have the run of the joint, now he has to put up with this stupid attention hog puppy. Cute pic, I don’t see what the problem is, it is tradition in the White House and they look more natural than some of their predecessors. Though I did stumble across an adorable pic of JFK and a daschund the other day that was pretty perfect.
Portuguese water dogs ROCK.
I thought it was Bo getting the tummy rub and Sunny is on the right?
My name is Sunny (yes, really) and my husband has always gone by Bo (our last name starts with Bo.) It’s a running joke with our families, but it
always surprises me to read about the other, “White House Dogs.”
So cute! 🙂
