Who will be First Dog?

cabinteelytom

Judging from the length of time it's taking to chose the Obama family dog the new President will not be making rash and impulsive decisions (that's welcome) (and the Obama children have some remarkable patience). What would the options be?
The pitbull presumably is ruled out, even with a special offer of a term's supply of lipstick, and would strain the special relationship (illegal in britain under Dangerous Dogs Act). The outgoing regime's campaign song should have been, 'Fight em all, top dog, try to burn this sh*t [otherwise known as continent of Asia] up.' That's their dog-time for change.
A Tibetan terrier would show the new President to be a right-on kind of guy , freedom for occupied peoples- and it's an excellant family pet.
An Afghan hound would show an appreciation of Afghanistan's contribution to world culture, and symbolise the swift departure which should be the aim of any foreign forces who find themselves in that unfortunate but independantly-minded country.
Any other breeds to suggest?

Greyhound. Great appearance, gives the impression of speed and capability when in fact it spends 23 hours and 45 minutes of the day achieving nothing.

Rotweiller. After all when its made into a movie and some no gooder tries to threaten the First Children the First Dog needs to be able to defend them.

Not to mention Rots are adorable.

Didn't Obama say during the week in his first press conference [re:transition period] that their was an issue to be sorted out with regards the dog:

Firstly, that one of his daughters is allergic, so they couldn't have certain breeds of dog and
Secondly, that he wanted a dog preferably from a pound

therefore leaving him with an issue to figure out

oh the dilemma :pac:

And what about training? I guess Ceasar is going to the White House

Heard he liked big dogs, and one of his daughters is somewhat allergic, typically associated with long hair dogs. How about a Great Dane? It could eat Bush's dog as a side dish, and wait for something more substantial as the main course, like a pit bull with lipstick.

A Fox is the right job for him. I like the sound of the The First Fox.:)

Well, you've got to admit that it's better than "Let's sit on our touches and do nothing about national security" for the first 8 months of 2001, and act surprised when Osama bin Laden's buddies fly planes into two towers, a pentagon, and a field, then point fingers at the past administration as if warming our seats was our total responsibility of office?

Let's see... Obama's not in office until 20 January 2009, has been putting together a White House transition team, like a Chief of Staff with the nick name "Rambo," which should include a big dog with a real bite, rather than that whimpy mutt Bush has been feeding, that could only nibble a recent reporter?
