Kudos to Obama and the new shelter dog.

Admittedly, I am an Issues guy, and don't waste time on the personality threads. I am embarrasingly uninformed about Obama's childrens schools, or Michele's wardrobe, or most anything to do with what I consider their personal lives. Since I am a frequent critic of most of Obama's policies, I felt the need to congratulate him on something he has done right.

As a supporter of no kill shelters, and an owner of several rescue pets, I was naturally delighted when President Obama announced that they were going to get a rescue dog. It indicated to me that his heart is in the right place, and that he is a man of the people unconcerned with pedigrees and bloodlines. When it was announced yesterday that he had finally gotten their dog, I wanted to post a personal Thank You for taking a leadership role in supporting the Animal Rescue efforts that so many of us are involved in. I'm sure that by setting a such public example, many Americans will follow suit.
