HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW

44% OF AMERICANS THINK THE OBAMAS SHOULD GET A MUTT:

Over the weekend, BARACK OBAMA announced that his family has narrowed their dog search down to TWO dog breeds: a Labradoodle . . . which is a cross between a Labrador and a Poodle . . . and a Portuguese Water Dog.

But it seems most Americans want the Obamas get a mutt instead of a pure-bred dog. According to an "important" new survey, 44% of Americans would like the Obamas to get a mutt, while just 19% want them to get a pure-bred dog. (Arizona Republic)

If you're keeping track, that leaves 37% of Americans who couldn't care less. Given the state of our economy and the fact that we're in the midst of not one but TWO wars, you can count me among those people.
