THE FIRST DOG

THE OBAMAS FINALLY GOT A DOG . . . A 6-MONTH-OLD PORTUGUESE WATER DOG NAMED BO:

When BARACK OBAMA took office in January, he inherited a two-front war, an economic crisis . . . and a partisan Congress that can't seem to agree on anything. --And, yet, the ONE QUESTION that keeps coming up in the media is: What kind of DOG are the Obamas going to get??? --Well, I'm happy to report that the Obamas have finally gotten a dog . . . a 6-month-old, black-and-white Portuguese Water Dog that SASHA and MALIA have decided to call "Bo". --Bo is expected to move into the White House on Tuesday. (Fox News)

Bo was a gift from Senator TED KENNEDY of Massachusetts . . . who owns several Portuguese Water Dogs himself. And the reason the girls named the dog Bo is because MICHELLE OBAMA'S father was nicknamed "Diddley" . . . and the name Bo is a reference to the singer, BO DIDDLEY.
