Great observation about Obama's "Bo-gate", i.e. his reneging on a promise to adopt a shelter dog, but instead, adopting a purebred dog from the Kennedys.
Quote:
"As for the rescue pledge, the Obamas came up with a solution intended to lend a serious symbolic note: They're going to make a donation to the D.C. Humane Society."
Two lessons: 1) See how great cap and trade is? 2) Moving to Washington means that powerfully persuasive people take you on little jaunts away from your modest and principled intentions—jaunts that seem harmless, but exert a symbolic power of their own.

I don't have a problem with getting a purebred dog. Not at all.
I do have a problem with liars.
