Bo Obama: First Dog Of The United States
Check out this cute new portrait of the Obama family dog, a Portuguese water dog name Bo Obama.
President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and daughters Malia and Sasha welcomed him into the White House on April 14th. Here’s a few little known facts about the pet pooch:
– Bo’s name came from two different places: Mrs. Obama’s father’s nickname was “Diddley” and Malia and Sasha’s cousins have a cat named Bo — and another cat named Diddley.
– Bo was a gift to the Obama family from Senator Ted Kennedy and his wife, Vicki.
– Even though Bo is a Portuguese water dog, he doesn’t know how to swim!

cute dog. not real crazy about the owner
@mertz: know how you feel about cats. we have a part siamese. she hisses at daughter!!!! ugh.
I had a dog just like Bo, they are crazy! But the most adorable and best companions one can have.
German Shepherds are better! so much fun and protective too! Hey Just Jared how come no pictures of America’s fashion icon, Michelle Obama walking Bo in her shorts! Man that was a sight, so much for the fashion industry and their “fashion icon”
loooove them bothhh
love the dog but not the Obamas..he’s digging America into recession and making our enemies stronger
@!:love the dog but not the Obamas..he’s digging America into recession and making our enemies stronger
What was even the point of stating that ! Its about the dog and if everytime Obama is mentioned, the rude, uncalled for comments arent necessary
The 7th picture is so funny.Poor man
Cute doggy!
adorable dog also a political token from the Kennedys who are still waiting for their payoff from the Obamas

To Exclamation Point: You’re an idiot !! Just like the others on here who can’t see the forest for the trees when it comes to OUR president, who inherited the “recession” and the mess that your beloved Republican party, led by Bush, put us in. You dumb asses just love to revel in revisionist history. Get your heads out of your asses already and face the facts !!! Obama is trying to right all the wrongs of the last administration as best he can. There’s absolutely NO reason to keep bashing every goddamn thing that he does to even try to get this country back on track. Stop letting your hatred of blacks get in the way of progress already !! We’re in this boat together, whether you like it or not. So do something besides complain and try to find something amiss when there isn’t. Focus on doing your part to make this country better.
BTW, you naysayers and Republicans, Conservatives, are a bunch of evil devils. Truly, DEVILS !!!!
@ObamaFan:
He’s all yours, babe!
definition of a Obama Fan= a begger, with hand in someone else’s pocket
BEAUTIFUL!!
PRESIDENT AND DOG!!!! I LOVE OBAMA AND BO!!!! WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING PRESIDENT!!!!!
YAY!!!
@iamnotwhoyouthinkiam:
I hear you. Bo is gorgeous, I love cats too. I have neither. *sigh*
Sorry, I think the dog is ugly, looks like a dust mop.
O, so cute. And I don’t even have a dog. (I have a cat.)
It looks like Bo’s saying, “Hey, waz up?” in the first pic. He looks so friendly.
Great way to take attention away from what’s really going on in the White House.
‘Hey ya’ll, let’s focus on the “First Dog” instead of our a$$es being handed to us by N. Korea. Or, the unemployment rate skyrocketing. Or Obama spending our country into insurmountable debt that our grandchildren’s grandchildren will be paying for in taxes. Oh, and how about the universal healthcare he’s trying to pass that will no doubt put an enormous strain on doctors, who will undoubtedly change professions because they will get paid less and working more.’
Keep on watching your CNN and MSNBC for your ‘facts’ while the world crumbles before your eyes.
@Booooooo:
It’s poetic, the N Koreans planning on firing missile at the Hawiian Islands to help us celebrate the 4th of July.
soooooooooooooo
it’s the USS JOHN MCCAIN to the rescue! Obama’s state (the story anyway) being rescuesd by John McCains Dad’s ship! Poetic!
Those islands are 80 % Obama supporters who DON’T support missile defense or star wars. LOL
what a kute dog.
ich bin happy to see president playing happy mit his dog careless and free
why being worried vor those pesky gays that want equal rights when you can be free mit dog in white house
Adorable Bo! I always loved seeing the photos of Barney and Ms. Beazley and Willy the Cat. I look forward to more pics of Bo too. He looks so happy.
@Rhonda:
This isn’t about Obama, it’s about the dog - I agree with that other person - get your head out of your ass - Obama INHERITED the recession from your idiot President you probably voted for. So what are YOUR ideas about getting us out of the recession? Do you think you know better than Geithner and Summers, et. al.?
You’re probably a racist who can’t get past the fact we have a black president.
BTW - Did you graduate from high school, dear?
@Sheila Van Riper:
you mean Geithner the tax cheat, that’s right the entire Obama administration are tax cheats!
Give GM and Chrysler stockholders back their company, you “thugs” stole from them.
Obama is a Chicago THUG if that makes me a racist , so be it.
Waiting for your reparations, dear?

You ignorant *****. How in the hell do you think this man won. People from all walks of life voted for our president. Rich, middle-class, poor, white, Black, all races in between.
To Progressives: Please ignore the scum who are trying to turn this thread, that is about our first dog, into a hate-fest against our president and his family.
Just ignore these hateful folks.
finally they got that dog
they were supposedly getting it the 1st month in office
looks like a pretty cool dog tho

So now Obama is releasing photo ops of himself with his dog?
Someone is a bit becoming a big head.
His job is not to go to Paris and play with his dog and then talk to more journalists and be on TV.
cuuuuttteee
I can’t believe some of the nutters commenting here. They’re making a cute picture of a puppy out to be some sinister plot to distract Americans from the “evil” Chairman Maobama.
Whoever your candidate was, s/he lost. Obama won. Get over it already!
Have you Obamabots gotten your ’stimulus’ checks in the mail yet? Hahahaha!!!
LOL
@sillyme:
Your mom?
omg this dog is the cutest thing. It looks like a real mischief maker, but at the same time looks like it would make a great companion. wow the Kenedy’s did a great job with choosing a dog, it’s nice to see that it isn’t some fancy snooty looking dog, it looks like a dog that any average family would have…love it. I hope Bo Obama wins the Kids Choice Award for best pet, I think Bo is a shoo-in for the award. Also I love that name…totally suits it.
Beautiful photos. Dogs are BEST friends and we should take care of them. It is still sad that some stupid people in the world use these beautiful, intelligent and emotional creatures for food and fur……
The fact that he looks like a dust mop is what makes him cute. :D
@Obamabots: we won’t get one because my husband is self employed. but my sister got one and it was $13.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she was soooo thrilled she didn’t know what to buy first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as much as i love dogs and hate hate to say it…i really think the dog is not cute. so are the obamas, all this obama drama they play trying to distract attention from the real issues America is facing right now, wrong president!

HAHA, SO CUTE
I wish the kids had been able to pick their own dog; the dog was supposed to be for them. I also think that it was inappropriate for Kennedy to be so presumptious and gift HIS personal favorite breed to the Obamas when they had already said they would adopt. It put the pres. into a very awkward position, as it would anyone, and I’m sure the girls were disappointed. I think this particular dog looks really out of place with the family, poor thing.
I’m from Portugal, but I’l, tottally preefer to liv ein US, OMG isn’t he cuuuute ??
It’s an honor for portuguese population to have a protuguese water dog in US…:D HE IS THE BOMB
Bunch of lame ‘teabaggers’ here. This recession started before Obama came into office. Bush and his ilk spent BILLIONS on an unwinable war in Iraq. Does that occur to any of you? Of course it doesnt, so continue to regurgitate what Rush Limbaugh tells you. Before Bush there was a surplus and in 8 years, we are in the biggest deficit ever.
“ealous, racist, Bush did it, jealous, racist, Bush did it, jealous, racist, Bush did it, jealous, racist, Bush did it, all together now, its easy for libs to remember,, jealous, racist, Bush did it!”
What the hell are you saying, Rhonda? What are we jealous of? Certainly not of likes of idiots like you who most likely voted for that fool, Bush, twice. You just cant handle that Obama is popular, well-spoken and is repairing our image around the world. You just can’t handle what a horrible job the previous administration with all their lying and greed. Continue to live in lala land. Whatever gets you through the day.. Obama inhereted the terrible economy that Bush/Cheney with their terrible policies caused. It goes back to Clinton with his de-regulation policies.
Ugly unelegant dog
Obama Fan,
I’m a Libertarian….
I used to be Liberal but I grew up and got a job.
I remember Carter,
Obama makes Carter look like George Washington and Rocky Balboa.
Cute dog BTW.
NICE: BO ROCK :)):))
