Obama Families Newest Member, Bo The Portuguese Water Dog
The first families dog has arrived. Bo The Portuguese Pater Dog showed his presence at the White House Tuesday April 14 2009. Bo was a gift from The Kennedy Family. Bo didnt seem to care much for the attention he received from the press. In fact he kinda charged the on lookers.
Dogs in the White House are nothing new. Bo should be a great addition.
The First family and Bo, their new Portuguese water dog, walk on the South Lawn of the White House.
The Portuguese water dog is known for centuries along Portugal’s coast and prized for its strength, spirit and soundness, the Portuguese Water Dog is a loyal worker and companion. Medium-sized and robust, the breed possesses a waterproof coat and the ability to swim all day. Its coat can be curly or wavy and is black, white, or brown, or combinations of black or brown with white.
An athletic, active breed, the Portuguese Water Dog requires daily vigorous exercise. He is very intelligent and responds well to obedience training. His profuse coat is hypoallergenic, but requires regular maintenance. It may be kept in the lion clip.
Known for centuries along Portugal's coast, this seafaring breed was prized by fishermen for a spirited, yet obedient nature, and a robust, medium build that allowed for a full day's work in and out of the water. The Portuguese Water Dog is a swimmer and diver of exceptional ability and stamina, who aided his master at sea by retrieving broken nets, herding schools of fish, and carrying messages between boats and to shore. He is a loyal companion and alert guard. This highly intelligent utilitarian breed is distinguished by two coat types, either curly or wavy; an impressive head of considerable breadth and well proportioned mass; a ruggedly built, well-knit body; and a powerful, thickly based tail, carried gallantly or used purposefully as a rudder. The Portuguese Water Dog provides an indelible impression of strength, spirit, and soundness.
Easter With Barack Obama, Weekly Address: Passover & Easter
This week the President discusses the multitude of problems and opportunities before the world through the prism of Passover and Easter: "These are two very different holidays with their own very different traditions. But it seems fitting that we mark them both during the same week. For in a larger sense, they are both moments of reflection and renewal. They are both occasions to think more deeply about the obligations we have to ourselves and the obligations we have to one another, no matter who we are, where we come from, or what faith we practice.
A very fitting speech for the criticism President Obama received this week. If you haven't been watch his trip overseas he bowed to the Saudi King. Well know one has seen a sitting president do this.
Cable news networks jumped on this saying he is bowing down to foreign governments. It was also said that he is moving America away from religion.
We realy need to watch President Obama and decide for ourselves if we like the direction he is going. No cable news network can do that for any of us.

Happy Easter

WEEKLY ADDRESS
The White House
Saturday, February 7, 2009
Yesterday began with some devastating news with regard to our economic crisis. But I'm pleased to say it ended on a more positive note.
In the morning, we received yet another round of alarming employment figures – the worst in more than 30 years. Another 600,000 jobs were lost in January. We've now lost more than 3.6 million jobs since this recession began.
But by the evening, Democrats and Republicans came together in the Senate and responded appropriately to the urgency this moment demands.
In the midst of our greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, the American people were hoping that Congress would begin to confront the great challenges we face. That was, after all, what last November's election was all about. Continue reading »
