Well, it looks like it’s going to be quite a week for the Obamas.  They’re going to church and getting a dog.  Wow.  Looks like any real news that might occur, like a million people protesting the government’s tax & spend orgy at the hundreds of  Tax Day Tea Parties,  will be subjected to below-the-fold status.  I guess the MSM is determined to stick with their “The Emperor has the coolest clothes” mission.

So, the Obamas have decided to “visit” a church on the holiest day in the Christian faith – how touching.  This is a big step for them, so big they had to put WH staff on it.  I’m not that old but I don’t ever remember so much time and energy being spent on where the Prez should go to church.  Do you?  

Obama has sent aides to scout more than a dozen churches, but the first family hasn’t yet made a decision. Advisers say Obama is going to be careful with the pick because reporters will dig into the church’s and pastor’s history.

For Pete’s sake, more than a year later and he still doesn’t get it.  We don’t care about the church he goes to once, although it would be nice if he went more often.  It’s the one he went to for twenty years, and that hate-filled, garbage-spewing, anti-American, racist pastor-advisor-mentor of his that so offended so many of us. Maybe if he had been as choosy twenty years ago, we wouldn’t have to read headlines about this today.  It’s not every church he goes to, it’s that one he went to for so long without, apparently, ever paying attention.  Is it as I’ve always expected – he just sent in the envelope?  They don’t take attendance at church – turning in the envelope is the equivalent of voting “present”.

Why don’t the Obamas just go to the church the Bushes attended while in Washington?  No one in the MSM even knows where that one is.

Then, after getting through the church challenge, the Obama’s long-promised puppy is arriving this week. And they have named it – you guessed it – Bo.  Again, for Pete’s sake – slightly louder this time.  Even the Obama girls have been brainwashed?  Come on!  Why don’t they just call it The One?  OK, raise your hands, how many out there really believe the “it’s Grandpa’s nickname” line?  Keith Olberman, you don’t count – you’ll believe anything.  And why not more enthusiastic, Barack?  Its a puppy – everyone loves puppies!  Its beginning to seem like he almost wishes he’d lost the election just so he wouldn’t have to get the dog.

Obama promised his daughters a puppy during the campaign.

“This is Washington. That was a campaign promise,” Obama said when he appeared on Jay Leno’s talk show last month, as the audience roared with laughter. “No, I’m teasing. The dog will be there shortly.”

I know that with all that is going on in the world, it’s ridiculous to talk about the dog, but I can’t help myself. I’m a dog fanatic.  If it was feasible, I’d have dozens.  Big, small, fuzzy, slobbery, active, lazy – they’re all perfect.  So it just breaks my heart when I see Barack and Michelle acting so disdainful to this not-so-young puppy they are about to foist upon the WH staff – cause we all know Barry ain’t gonna’ clean up after that dog. And what’s with getting the dog at six months?  You know who does that – rich people who can’t be bothered to train their own dog.

This is not a pet, it’s a prop.  And the timing is suspect.  By Monday evening, when all the networks have tired of carrying the footage of the Obamas attending Easter services in their undoubtedly fashionable spring attire, the coverage will simply switch to the dog.  God willing, nothing too terrible happens to overshadow this headline news but you have to give them credit for planning ahead.  I can just see Gibsy and Manny working late into the night trying to come up with the one story that will deflect any and all attention away from the tea parties.  I just can’t believe the best they came up with was “Let’s get the dog delivered”.  Who is in charge of PR at the WH, Patrick from Bikini Bottom?  (Come on, admit it.  Gibsy looks just like him.)

Those poor Obamas have no clue what they are bringing down on themselves.  What happens when Bo knocks down one of the girls or gets paw prints on one of Michelle’s frocks?  Or the Prez himself?  What happens when he digs up the WH garden – the one Michelle had to bring in help to plant? This dog will be spending a lot of time with the Secret Service is my guess.  The only time we’ll ever see him is when Barack says something stupid and the press needs a family photo for decoy .  (Hmmm, we may actually see a lot of Bo.)  This is one of the most intelligent and challenging breeds out there and the Obamas are doggie virgins – I smell a disaster.  Or is that just B-O?
