…and if you say I can’t, try and stop me.
Obama said he’d get his daughters a dog after the election, and he’s agreed to adopt instead of buy a dog. As the owner of a rescued dog, I appreciate that little gesture which hopefully others will follow. In fact, I’m feeling so magnanimous, if a pollster were to call me right now and ask my opinion of Obama, I’d answer “no opinion” rather than unfavorable.
…I’m just kidding. I’d hang up on the pollster as usual.
Of course he is going to adopt a dog, much like he has chosen to adopt all those people he is going to buy gas for.
That’s pure public relations he’s doing. Old Chicken She-ite was invited by Bush to sit in on the economic forum. He turned it down as its a risk to his power. He wants to play out the rest of Bush’s term to burn up the monthes in between as he waits and hopes for recovery. He does not love this country he loves the power. In similar fashion he does not love this dog.
The best thing that can be said is this dog will not be a cat. Cats are the typical pet of liberals everywhere. They are the quintessential disposable pet and they are not socially demanding. You lose a dog you feel like dying. You lose a cat and you’re sad for 5 minutes. They don’t relate as well as dogs being solitary creatures. Thus they never connect as well. Aside from being true on a statistical basis it is a metaphor for liberals abortion and how they relate in general to the rest of the world.
Take that you no good cat loving liberals!
As the owner of two rescued cats, I applaud Obama (heh, never thought I’d put those three words right next to each other) for choosing to adopt rather than buy.
But that still doesn’t make up for him being an America-hating socialist.
Also, I’m a conservative -and- a cat person. So take that, person above me! 😛
key phrase == on a statistical basis. By and large. And you’ll never connect with a cat like you do a dog even if you are a cat person. They just do not have the machinery to do so.
He can have my dog. I’d throw in two cats as part of the deal, too.
He’s already got Michelle! Isn’t one dog enough for the family? Why not redistribute the dog? Can he not share the dog wealth? And what if the dog doesn’t want him? Michelle has already said that Barry smells bad. Isn’t that torturing a poor dog that has already suffered enough?
He’s planning on training the dog to bark for help whenever his head meets a bucket.
The dog will never shut up.
It’s not nice to hang up on pollsters. Lie to them instead.
He stole a dog from a guy who made over $250,000,
Moe the dogcatcher.
Get caller I.d. & ignore anyone you don’t want to talk to.
he could be right. O_O poor kitty, he looks like he was threatened.
I think he needs a dog, the animal equivalent of his voters in ‘da hood….an abused angry stupid pit bull that just got paroled from the pound.
“You lose a cat and you’re sad for 5 minutes.”
You have no soul
I once had a cat who urinated on a pile of a laundry. I no longer have a cat.
Two Dogs
That was funny. I’m wondering, will he get a black and white dog? I have 3 dogs and we have separate dog foods for each. Will we have to share our dogs food? I hadn’t thought about it until just now but isn’t 3 bags of dog food just another form of wealth?
What if his dog gets pregnant? Will he have the puppies aborted because he doesn’t want to punish his daughter?
Or will he just have just have his new American Security Corp. snuff me out for asking the question.
What #3 & 4 said, ‘ceptin’ I have 3 rescued cats who totally dig me and the feeling is very mutual. ***pbbbbbbbbbtttt!***
(I still miss my dog though, and that was 10 yrs ago she died)
You know who else gleefully adopts puppies from dog shelters?
Instapundit, that’s who.
Hanging up on a pollster is like voting “Present”. Then they’ll put you in the “undecided” category and discourse wisely on how “undecideds are breaking for Obama.”
God gave us pollsters to test our willingness to abide by His second commandment “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” (Disclosure: I admit my sin.)
I wonder how this helps me pay my mortgage. Why doesn’t anyone care about my mortgage?
I’m beginning to grow more disillusioned with each passing hour.
Poor dog! He will be spending time under the bus at some point!
Our dog is adopted. She was rescued as a puppy from northern Mexico (where all of the drug violence has been going on. Dog owners, contrary to popular belief, aren’t immortal, so they get killed, too). When she’s not teething on your flesh, she’s the most adorable little thing you’ve ever seen.
am I the only one old enough to figure he just proved that he’s not a crook?
I hate to say it but, Freemon Sandlewould is a dog bigot. That’s “dog bigot”, not “dog biscuit”. His inability to connect with cats is no justification to label them as the “quintessential disposable pet”. I’m sorry that he is unable to experience the joy of feline devotion. I’m glad he has not been devasted by the loss of a feline family member. Saying that cats “don’t have the machinery” to connect with people is ignorant at best and akin to saying Africans don’t have the mental capacity to achieve what Europeans can. I’m calling you on this Freemon. I believe you are smarter than this.
Obama is suddenly lamenting that his daughter – unbeknownst during the campaign – is “allergic” to dogs. Wow, this creates a real problem. Oh, by the way, Muslims aren’t supposed to have dogs, but I’m sure that’s just coincidence.
Was the dog a present to his family for his victory?
If he lost, would he have punished them with a baby?
[Lol. -Ed.]
S.O.B. : Cats do not have the machinery Dogs run in packs. What is it that cats run in? All my opinions are based on experience and careful viewing of objective reality. I really find cats endearing / pretty / and yah I like to stroke some pssuy sometimes but as much as I could imagine liking a cat as I love animals…..I could not imagine ever being attached like I was my dogs. Herpules: what was that African that won the Nobel prize for particle physics name again?
>>I wonder how this helps me pay my mortgage. Why doesn’t anyone care about my >>mortgage?
When the dog deposits his “wealth” on the lawn, Obama will send it to you and you can use it to pay your mortgage.
Maybe a retired bomb-sniffing dog that has a few good years left in it.
I’d love to see its reaction when Ayers comes to the whitehouse.
I understand his choice of a dog over a cat. It has long been hidden that the cat was the motivation for the development of the repeating rifle. Since any association to gun rights and ownership would damage his liberal credibilty, he made a political decision and went with the dog.
There is a word for a parent who makes the acquisition of a pet for his kids contingent upon HIS success, i.e. winning an election. The word is shit-heel. And the real reason that the little girls didn’t get a dog regardless of the parent’s success is because the parent doesn’t really like dogs. There’s a word for people who don’t like dogs. The word is shit-heel.

This is really to much. How could anyone be elected President with out already owning a pet? Dogs are fine animals if you into slavish devotion from you animals, but earning the respect and love of a cat is far more satisfying.
And there it is Freemon. You can’t imagine connecting to a cat the same way you do to dogs, therefore cats do not have the “machinery” to make such connections. An African hasn’t been awarded the Nobel prize for physics, therefore Africans don’t have the machinery.
I do not accept your “dogma”, forgive the pun. I CAN imagine being emotionally attached to a dog. Supposedly, the catastrophe of manmade global warming is based on “careful viewing of objective reality”. Some of us believe it is merely the “creative” interpretation of data to fit a pre-existing paradigm. I can imagine an African winning the Nobel prize for particle physics or chemistry or any other discipline even if the selection committee is made up of five white scientists from the Royal Swedish Academy.
I didn’t mean to start anything, but I couldn’t let what you said stand without comment. My opinion is not worth more than yours, but it is different. I do appreciate that you go to some lengths to explain your positions rather than just spout them loudly.
WOLVERINES!…. I think they are somewhere between dog and cat?
Pollster trick: When they call, say, “Hold on a sec.” Then go take a shower or run the vacuum or clean your gun. Poof! Pollster is el-gone-o! Works every time.
Freeman,
You can bite me with that Anti-Cat bent you’re on. I have cats and am as Socially and Fiscally Conservative as can be. Don’t stereotype. That’s a dirty hippie libtard thing to do. Bad libertarian. Bad!
