Photos: The President takes the First Dog Christmas Shopping (and official WH Card) [View all]



Looks like Bo got to go to Pet Smart


And the official Christmas Card (which of course the RW has taken offense to, given it included only Bo)


The 2011 White House Christmas card features a content looking First Pup Bo Obama sitting by a roaring fireplace, flanked by Christmas presents and festive Christmasy ribbons and pine wreaths and bulbs. If you listen hard, you can almost hear sleigh bells.

It's all pretty non-controversial. Boring, even. Unless, of course, you're Fox News.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin told Fox News & Commentary that she found the card to be a bit unusual.

“It’s odd,” she said, wondering why the president’s Christmas card highlights his dog instead of traditions like “family, faith and freedom.”

“Even stranger than that was his first year in office when the Christmas ornaments included Chairman Mao,” Palin said. “People had to ask that it be removed because it was offensive.” (Find more of this crap at Faux News.... I'm not going to link, though http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/ has a rundown).


I love that Bo is the star~!
