    The First Pets are adorable.

    I love pictures of Presidents playing with their dogs & kids! Its nice to see them being regular old husbands & fathers

    • Zadie says:

      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.

      • SonjaMarmeladova says:

        @Zadie, I think we’re from the same country! And I completely agree. I’ve never seen such pictures with any of our politicians.

      • paola says:

        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.

      • blue marie says:

        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)

      • Mel says:

        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.

      • Zadie says:

        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).

      • SonjaMarmeladova says:

        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?

      • Bodhi says:

        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

  3. kellyinseattle says:

    He’s gotten really gray…most presidents do while in office, 0.

  4. katy says:

    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 🙂

  5. Eileen says:

    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!

  6. jaye says:

    I would really like for the ground Zimmerman currently standing on to open up and swallow him whole, so he’s never seen again.

  7. Rhiley says:

    The blind item must be Bey. Say it ain’t “So so so so so.”

  8. Hubbahun says:

    “Aaron Rodgers & Jessica Szohr are dating again.” So Ed Westwick’s FREEE?!?!?!? MINE!!!! 😀

  9. Anon2 says:

    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.

    • Kristin says:

      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!

  10. INeedANap says:

    UGH. That tweet from Stephen King.
    Dismissing her claims and calling her a b*tch too? Stay classy.

    • FLORC says:

      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.

      • mayamae says:

        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.

  12. jferber says:

    Love the pic. I didn’t know the Obamas got a second dog. Adorable. I love that whole family.

  13. Mrs. Darcy says:

    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.

  15. Kath says:

    I thought it was Bo getting the tummy rub and Sunny is on the right?

  16. Sunny says:

    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.”

  17. Sal says:

    So cute! 🙂
