Why not wait until you bring the dog home to name him/her? I am a dog lover & I try to see what type personality they have before I name them. I have a mini Yorkie, mini Poodle, and two Yorkiepoos. We also have a Pit Bull and 2 mutts outside. I love my dogs!!

Another vacation for the Obama's how typical. What is this their 5th or 6th now. The Obama's must have not watched Westminster as a breeder of PWD was interviewed and she said this wasn't a breed for them to take on because of the energy level.

I voted for President Obama and worked hard in my precinct. I am not a lover of many animals at all, but, if the Presidents daughters are and want a dog, hey, I encourage all to help out. I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate the first family. Every since inauguration day, we have displayed the Obamas in our main building here at Corpus Christi Army Depot. However, the day after the inauguration, the display was trashed and we had to reassemble it. This is a very racial divided area of the world.

Gee, I thought they were going to adopt a hoeless pet or a Mutt. How is it that Mr. Obama always does the opposit of what he says?

Sissyboy, that shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the problem.

So Sissyboy, you are saying that we should just putt off all of that other stuff again. Isn't that all we've done for the last 30 years. I've got it! Let's wait until our students come out of school dumber than when the went in, our bridges fall down (there already), we cant' afford doctors, etc.. It's only going to cost more and take more effort to fix these things if we keep waiting.

WOW getting a dog..and this is news WHY????? How about giving a home to some homeless humans......I love animals and have rescued our 2 dogs and 3 cats from various parts of the USA.......I would love to rescue some people ...but I have to figure out how am I going to stay in my house ..before my family and my pets become homeless....I have always paid my mortgage ..my bills ...etc etc My husband's just got a paycut...my hours got cut...my 2 older children may have to quit college because their tuition went up.... scholarships taken away .......we stopped going on vacations years ago ....why does CNN think that everyone wants to hear everything about the OBAMA's...I like President Obama ,I think he is a good guy...but his wife making news about a gift ..a dog ..that her girls are getting (during their spring break from their PRIVATE SCHOOL) give me a break

Hey Sissyboy in CA: First, love your handle!

This nation is not cut and paste...everything interconnects. Industry creates industry. The economy is built on a foundation. The foundation isn't only reliant upon one answer. As Obama said in his speech...this is the beginning of a hard task. BUT: In all honesty, aren't you glad we have a man as capable as Obama to perform such a task? He is not going to be perfect, true true! But if you got a chance to watch the speech last night, didn't you cringe when McCain flashed on the screen? What if.....What if McCain had been giving a speech in front of Congress instead? I bet he would have been as avoidant of the situation as G.W.B. was.

Thank God that we have a man in office (not a saviour, but a smart man) that can manage more than one thing at a time. It's only been a month...keep the faith. I have no doubt he will try his best as he has nothing else to do presently. It is his Historic Burden as a first in his position.
Someday, when a GBLT gets elected to the same office (as it inevitabley WILL happen) that person, like Obama, will feel the need and obligation to out perform those who recently preceded the post. It is human nature. Obama not only stands as a president who must heal and save the Nation...he also feels the pressure that if he should fail, he lets down his people and culture far into the future.

As a minority, I totally understand that passion. Give him that faith, because he inevitabley will stand in representation of all non-classic presidential candidates to a majority of pidgeon-holing Americans.

Republicans/Conservatives showering President Obama, the First Lady and their children with congratulatory praise and well wishers in 3...2...1..... Hold up!!!! Put on the brakes Pedro!

No, but really. Dogs bring a lot of happiness to a family and a home. They are good for the soul, and for one’s health – as my elderly neighbor who recently had a stroke can attest to.

Awwwwwww how cute:)

What's wrong with Frank?

Good choice on the puppies. PWDs have good temperaments and are the right size and they are NOT a "designer dog" - whatever that's supposed to be! And hopefully this one will be from a reputable breeder and not a BYBer. Congratulations! Will be fun to watch since I've had a PWD and now have Giant Schnauzers (a bit to rambunctious for the White House, I think).

How about Osama!

- Healthcare costs are significant hindrance to businesses and must be reformed to allow for growth.

- Funding infrastructure projects will create thousands of jobs immediately.

- Educating our workers for the kinds of jobs that will be available in the 21st century is essential for our economy.

This is why Obama spoke about these things. They need to be addressed.

Michelle – it's not about what YOU want the dog to be named. Who cares if you're not a big fan of the names your daughter has picked. Dad promised the girls a dog, let them name it.

@ Sissyboy in CA

It's called long-term planning. Educated, healthy people make more significant contributions to the economy, particulary when it costs them less to stay healthy and to get to work. Immediately employing significant numbers of Americans to build the roads and bridges and invent the alternative fuel sources those future generations of better educated, healthier Americans will be using...well, it just makes sense...and it further decreases the amount of income those future generations will need to devote to healthcare, transportation, etc.

How about "Maverick"?

I am so glad they are adopting from a shelter. So many really good dogs out there looking for a home.

Rescue mutts make the bestest pets!

The economy is comprised of something greater than just the DOW. Get some know-how before you make silly posts like that.

Who cares?

Sissyboy, I think you are responding to the wrong article!

Improved education, infrastructure, and improved healthcare is what benefits an economy. Teachers keep their jobs and new ones grow, building creates jobs, and being proactive and keeping people healthy is cheaper than letting them get sick and having exorbitant expenses. He's done more in his first month in office than anyone I can remember. Also, he is the one offering solutions. The republicans just keep giving the same suggestions that they have been relying upon for at least the past 8 years. Look where that got us.

10 billion in pork 5% of the package ya got to be kidding me ..whats next a new fleet of personal helicoptors ?

Because without education, infrastructure and healthcare there is no economy.

Love it! "Joe the Dog"......

You obviously do not understand that any organization, such as the United States, must always invest in the future. Short-term strategies to pump up the bottom line temporarily, is what got us into this pickle in the first place. Finally we have a leader with a long-term vision to create real and lasting stability. If you are worried about what can be accomplished in 4 years then please vote for him again next term!

Nice choice – they're nice dogs...
But what has that to do with the economy sissyboy?
C'mon you didn't vote for President Obama, DID YOU.
Republican phony!

Stupid "sissyboy in CA" – education is of the utmost importance, because you should be tired of all these dumb "A" people running the country and further more having an education keeps you in the game.

Apparently, you are not educated enough, because if you were, then you would know if you have an education and its hard to get a job, then imagine without one what's going to happen.

Education is the key; if one is unable to read, write, do simple math, then how would he/she be able to complete a job application for one of those so called infrastructure; health care jobs.

Use your head.

I SINCERELY HOPE THAT THEY ADOPT THEIR NEW DOG

FROM A RESCUE ORGANIZATION..

You're right, he is doing a lot at once. But if he were just to focus on the economy (something that will take years to fully recover from), we're going to make the nation sink even worse. And... those addition features of legislation are part of the economy. Healthcare, education and infrastructure directly relate to the status of the economy. If you let those systems fail as they have the past 10-15 years, then where we are right now was inevitable.

To Sissyboy in CA: Hopefully this will help answer your question.
The reason President Obama addresses "...education, infrastructure, healthcare ..." in his speeches about the economy is because all of these things are part of what makes our economy strong – or weak. Job opportunites are expanded when the various factions of our economy are properly funded. The old fashioned economic law of supply and demand determines how well – or if – those factions receive the funding they need. The funding is usually a mix of private and public sector dollars. Jobs, in turn, create consumer spending, which, in turn, fuels suppy and demand. Macro economists look at the unemployment rate in this country, in addition to its gross domestic production, or GDP (once again, the bottom line is jobs), to determine how strong or weak the U.S. economy is at any given point in time.

Wow. Who cares?

"I'm afraid he's going to try to do everything, and then nothing will get done."

Yeah, it's looking that way.

To Sissyboy: Because he knows the lazy fools he's working with and if it doesn't get address now, it never will.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!

There's as much meat in this article as in his speech last night.
Actually, what I read of his speech since I was enjoying myself watching Family Guy which has more truth in it.

Beautiful picture. Beautiful family. Enough said.

I think President Obama is doing a great job so far. I think his family is beautiful, and I have all the confidence in the world in him. I do wish the Press would leave him alone and give him a chance to do his job. I am tired of their analyzing his every move. Thank you!

Sissyboy, how does the economy recover if we don't invest in health-care, infrastructure, and education?

This kind of story reinforces our president as a genuine family oriented man. Kind of like ordinary folks. A pleasant change from the stories of doom & gloom.

Portugese water dogs will be the new craze now.............unfortunately a lot people are not equipped or prepared for the demands and committment of a dog.

Of course, he chooses the dog the Kennedys have. LOL What a joke. Can you say "wannabe". He wants to be like the Kennedys, he wants to be like Lincoln. For God's sake, be your own man. Ugh. PUKE!

Sissyboy: Think of those items as support structures that need repair to prop up America so the overall health of the nation can be improved. I think politicians had been too narrowly focused in the past. He has a daunting task but hopefully he can get some cohesion going...

Nice choice....beautiful good natured dogs....

Well sissyboy all these things will help the economy recover. Its not a simple fix, i think that is what he is trying to say

Yeah !!!!

Economic crisis solved.

On a serious note now.----–
Altough I voted for McCain, I feel that now Repunlicans are hell bent to destroy the country in order to regain power. The only way they come back to power is that Obama performs miserably.

Jindal's statements were horrible. He should think of the COUNTRY FIRST. I am ashamed to call him that he shares the same roots as do I.

This is a terrific breed of dog. Can I suggest the name "Kona"

They are such a happy, beautiful family and should be an inspiration to the rest of us.

Perhaps I have not followed this "story" close enough. But does anyone know if he is adopting the dog from a shelter or from a puppy farm.

And this is newsworthy because.......??

I think they should name him Shades, because from the photos I've seen of the breed, it looks like they can't see through all that hair!

re: "then we can address these issues as need be"
- These needs do now be, Sissyboy in CA

Sissyboy

Pres Obama is throwing education, infrastructure etc.. into his speech because he is trying to let us know what the 787 billion dollars will be used for. Since the repubs are so against he is letting us know how he plans to spend the money. The money is being used for the economy, but if we people working on our infrastructure that will put people back to work and thus helping the economy.

This is news? Do we really care what kind of dog they chose? That's not going help us during these tough times.

PRESIDENT CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE. SORRY!!!!

Sissyboy: They are all support structure that need repair to right the underlying wrongs.

Cool that the Obama's have chosen a dog! I was raised with a dog, and they are great companions for kids, as well as an opportunity to learn about responsibility (I had to take care of my dog, too).

Regarding names, the best strategy is to stand on the back porch and yell the name loudly (like you would to get the dog to come back inside). If it's a yellable name that carries around the neighborhood well, go for it!

This strategy also works when picking a child's name ...

So obama is going away again. Sounds like he thinks he is still in the Senate.

The Portie is a great choice, I am happy for their pick.

And this is news, we got a puppy lost May and now he is the size of a pony, now that's news!!! LOL!!

Dogs? We're talking about dogs now? People losing their jobs, their homes, their life savings for retirement and we're talking about Obama's dogs? Good god almighty.

Boo for not getting a shelter dog.

That's great that they are adopting .... the challenge will be to locate that breed for adoption. They should name the dog SAM...for Sasha & Malia. Universal for male or female.

Uh, Sissyboy, the article is about a dog.

Sissyboy, whats all your yack about his speech got to do with their dog?

Well, at least he's delivered on his first campaign progress – a puppy. Give the guy a break, it's only been a month.

How about Barry for a name. Or Pelosi.

Watch the "adoption fee" for this breed shoot through the roof. Now everyone's gonna want to own a "first dog" breed.

Name the first dog Rhys..Thats my name. He will be a great dog.

Name the dog Ted.

Instead of a Portuguese water dog how about Sarah Palin on a leash ?

So, Was it a Shelter Dog or Not?

Bectause education, infrastructure, and healthcare are PART of the economic problem. They all will provide JOBS which will in turn give Americans to pay their mortgages, taxes, and purchase goods and services to get the country moving again...

and what does that have to do with the family pet?

Who cares!!! Media is really "nuts" on him, aren't they?

To: Obama girls,

Our beagle's name is Shadow Carilo; remember puppy's name should fit well withyour family's last name. We once had a mixed breed dog and his name fit him perfectly: Camper Carilo was named by my son because we loved going camping. Although, we did have our three children make one suggestion each, mom and dad had the last word in the matter, mom had greatest say because – I was the one spending the most amout of time with our puppies, and that was a big job. ~ L.C.

Here are some name possibilities:

George, Dick, Donald, Karl, Alberto, Scooter, Harriet, or Condi.

Excellent choice, very nice dogs. Good natured, smart, attentive. Should be a very good high ranking general. As for the name, I'd call him/her "The Schwartze".

Enjoy....

Moose is a great name! Go for it, girls!

He cant even buy an american breed...

So much for the first of many lies – that a shelter dog would be adopted – get ready everyone – this is only the start.

I think "Frank" is kind of funny.

Are you kidding me!? Stop foaming at the mouth over this guy and let's be critical of this man the way you were critical of the Bush Administration. You're journalists for God's sake.

Good, they are wonderful and beautiful dogs.

Will they send the dog back once it's discovered he hasn't paid his taxes?

Cool. Let the girls name the dog – they are the ones that should have the most fun with it.

I think Michelle is a wonderful mom but if the dog is supposed to be the daughters' dog, then they should be allowed to name it.

Johnny Cash sang a song about a boy named Sue, what's wrong with a dog named "Moose".

I hope it is still from a shelter

Our
first Mom, is so outstanding
the dog will be welcomed by everyone.

Our
first Mom, is so outstanding
the dog will be welcomed by everyone.

I think "Frank" or "Moose" would be cute names ... as long as the dog is a boy. I have no idea why I'm so excited over their getting a dog, but I am. I just hope a bunch of people named Frank don't cause an uproar over Michelle Obama's dislike for that particular name. You know the type ...

Dogs are like babies...gotta meet 'em before you name 'em.

They look so fuzzy and cuddly. They should call it Wuzzy. As in fuzzy wuzzy.

JAZZ WOULD BE A GOOD NAME. COULD STAND FOR JASMINE IF PUPPY IS FEMALE OR JUST JAZZ IF NOT. LIKE ALL THAT "JAZZ" HAVING A NEW PUPPY IS LIKE HAVING A NEW BABY. I LOVE THINKING OF THE OBAMA FAMILY ENJOYING THEIR PET.

Who cares.

That's nice.

How about the name "Recovery" or "Freedom" as both apply to our first family!!!

What a nice family picture of the Obama's. It is so refreshing to see some diversity in the White House.

Obama's new dog should be a CAT!

Name it 'George' and kick it every night.

I still think they should name it Maverick.

The most important decision of his presidency.

CNN Headline March 2009

Portuguese Water Dog Puppy Mills Springing Up Across U.S.

I love this family.......God Bless you Obama's

You've got to be kidding? Who cares about a stupid dog!! Our country is drowning right now and you're reporting on a dog?

A picture worth a thousand words!

Why is this news, who cares?

And this is news? I guess the first family is our newest celebrities

I hope Sasha and Malia enjoy their new pet.

As in "Yellow Dog Democrat" He will soon be one.

I love dogs, but It's JUST A DOG!

nothing happening in the world today?

must be pretty slow these days huh?

I absolutely LOVE that photo! The Obamas look absolutely adorable as a family, and I'm happy that the girls will finally be obtaining a new pooch shortly.

Good call on the choice of dog, Madam First Lady!

Who cares?

Let's worry about fixing the economy instead of picking some silly animal...

MR. PRESIDENT AND FAMILY:
WE HAVE A PWD. OUR DAUGHTER RAISES THEM. THAY ARE GREAT PETS. CLIFF

uh oh another Obama heartwarming story. Get ready for a right wing hate attack in 3-2-1...........

Nice family, all what we need in America!

Seriously?

With all the crud going on, and everything seemingly going to hell (which is whats being reported). CNN decides to turn their attention to what dog the President's family chose.

Maybe there just isnt all the doom and gloom in the world, if this takes time, attention and money to print.

greetings. i am so very proud and appreciative of president obama and his speech to congress on last evening. he is a humble man and i would love to visit him at the white house and discuss issues pertaining to the crisis confornting the youth in america today. president obana, you and your family are an example to all people of all races and ethnic backgrounds. a real man and a postive female role model is your wife. your children are an example for other children to look up to. a wonderful time to be in america. humility is the way to success. truly, sir, you have proven that. you are not a politician, but a statemen. there is a distinct difference between the two. yes, your job is not an easy one. however the hope that you give to the american people is that of tremendous. you have inspired me and millions to move forward in life. for this i am very greatful. i would love to meet you president obama. may GOD BLESS, KEEP AND PROTECT YOU AND YOUR FAMMILY. RESPECTFULLY, darryl

2:1 odds the puppy will be revealed to have been involved in a tax scandal, and be forced to withdraw from consideration.

Who really cares? Obama has just been caught in his campaign lie to the American people about the troop withdrawl from Irac. Suddenly he is very unappealing to many of us.. he is suddenly looking shady and developing the smell of the same politics we have had all our lives. Who cares about their dog....he is a liar.

Family first... love it!

The president has a beautiful family, his wife and daughters eyes show how happy, loved and content they all are. I wonder what names the girls picked? A very nice picture, I'm definitely going to get the People mag.

What about "Hope" for the dog's name?

Who Cares!!!!!

What a beautiful photo of our First Family! That's great they have decided on a dog. I agree with the First Lady.... Moose?? Oh boy.

Sadly.... pathetically..... there will be vile comments posted to put down, criticize and demean.

Sad.

WHO CARES! In all these times and what is going on who cares about what puppy Obama bought. How about the family that gave away there puppy because they cant afford it. Great they "adopted" but is this important , front page information we need to know about. What, are people so out of it they are sitting at home, their losing there home, electricity is off and they care about what dog Obama is getting. The media really needs to focus on "news worthy" news.

Hey i got one , how about that two more people committed suicide because of losing everything..

sad.

They should wait till they get the dog....then I'm sure they will decide on a name that suits the dog's personality and looks.

He should have gotten NO DOG or a pound-dog. Now the puppy mills are going to be churning out Portuguese water dogs like crazy. Way to go Messiah – another stupid choice.

Oh, vomit!

There's nothing wrong with naming a dog Frank! We had a Husky-mix my husband named Frank because he had blue eyes and when he barked, he sounded as if he were singing – "Owooo!" I vote for Frank!

They should name it Sarah Palin and it can likewise be taught to do tricks.

Name it "Bailout"

this truly is an all american family finally a pres who keps his promise

Whatever name they choose for the "future pooch" I'm sure it will be "cute" cuz' those 2 girls are adoreable themselves.....

Portuguese Water dogs are good animals, sweet tempered, etc...

"Precious" or "Chole" would be a cute names, if a female

"Curly" or "B uddy" for a male

hmmm. no pot belly pig?

At least Michelle is picky about dog names...she wouldn't settle for Trig, Track, Bristol and God knows what else...

I'm sure all the right-wing nutjobs will find something sinister or objectionable over which to organize a march on Washington. Get your ammo and tanks ready, forces! Capt. Limbaugh and Hannity at your service! Foxward and into the prattle!

why is this news?

That is wonderful..

Have a wonderful time with the new dog when it shows up

no other animal shows selflessness like a dog and that is one of the greatest character of all americans when everyone comes right down to what matters.

This will be a great thing for the family and our country.

:>)

And this is news why?????? Oh I'm sorry, after all he IS the second coming.

Let's start naming the dog:

Obie1 Kanobi
Oscar
Moby

Barack Obama

Amabakcarab Barack Obama spelled backwards

Letters in Barack Obama
aaaaa (5 A's in Obama's name)
o
m
bb
k
c
r

As usual Michelle has to control everything. Right down to the dogs name.

There is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog.

And while the PWD may have a good reputation, Obama would have done much better both poltically and personally to adopt a pair of greyhounds that were recently made available for adoption from either the Massachusetts tracks or the Guam tracks that are closing.

So much for sending a good message, I guess.

Call it what it is: more superficial, depthlessness.

And the Bots say Kennedy isn't pulling Obama's strings...

That's an expensive breed! Good luck finding one in a shelter.

Moose!

I love kids!

And the Bots say Kennedy isn't pulling Obama's strings...

I love this family!
It's so nice hearing family news from the Obama White House – those children make my heart melt.
I'm sick of the gloom and doom of the world and ready for some light hearted family news every once in awhile.

I am sorry about daughter's allergy; otherwise, they could save a dog's life at a shelter.

I love this – the photo of how you envision family – happy, together and making me remember the pets we're had and yes, not particularily happy with the kids name choices.

Over a month to decide on a job. Sounds like chief executive qualifications to me.

'Ashanti" is Swahili for "Thank you."

Fantastic. Those girls deserve a dog! Sasha and Malia. Congrats, your dad kept his promise.

Name him or her.. republican
.. most dogs learn the word NO.. lol..

Couldn't they have picked an American Dog?

Maybe we need a dog czar.

I don't care about the Dog. I care about their happiness and life. May God continue to bless the president and his beautiful family.

The obama's got...a...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZ

When will we hear the speach on this?

Beautiful Family! And thanks Obama for doing more for the actual people of this country in one month than gw bush and the rethuglicans did in 8 years!

I voted for Obama and I am all for the guy but I don't understand why he has to throw education, infrastructure, healthcare, and the kitchen sink into his speeches. We need the economy to recover first and then we can address these issues as need be. I'm afraid he's going to try to do everything, and then nothing will get done.

I'm happy for the girls. I have a special affinity for long haired daschunds like mine, but they can be a little snappy with children.

I'm happy for the girls. I have a special affinity for long haired daschunds like mind, but they can be a little snappy with children.

Can this family be any more superficial or picture-ready?
