RNC Attacks Bo the Obama Dog? Time to Take a Page from FDR

$2,000.00 pooch

Dear Big O; I am a recently unemployed nurse of over 35 years. I now find my body too tired to keep up with the rigorous tasks of a nursing career. I would like to change careers.

Something of a milder nature may be within my reach. Since you find it a reasonable thing to do, spending taxpayer money on a dog, maybe you would like to provide money for a business opportunity, such as, providing the equipment I would need, to start an in home Call Center. The cost of equipment is nearly what you paid for your pooch. As the recipient of said funds, I can reassure you, in no time, I will be able to put the money right back into our country's economy. Yours, most appreciative, Lillian Williams/DisappointedDemocrat - Philadelphia, Pa.

Thanks what PWD cost. Actually I'm surprised any breeder in their right mind would sell him a PWD. BHO did promise to get a shelter or rescue dog.......

How to miss a point

Did you watch the whole video? The dog was a stepping stone up to mega billions and you guys are just mad the RNC made a valid point about spending.

Sure, I know most republicans are furious about the spending there own party did when in control and I also remember FDR's train slipping down throught the small train tracks into Tranquility, NJ so FDR could sneak in a visit with his lady friend at an estate there. That train rode pase Grampa's Church and it was a affront to the culture but Republicans said nothing about it. The guy had a problem with walking and we felt sorry for him.

You and I should be working together to stop the porkbarrel and other wastful projects of both sides of the aisle. We need to support some standards in ehtics and objectives so these characters work for us, not the big money lobbyists.

I am commenting so so we know we are all in need of help and this will continue until we the people get mad enough to do something about it.

Lots of Democrats and Republicans and moderates and conservatives and liberals and libertarians and independants will gather on July 15th at the next tea party to express our concern. Join us. They are listening.

grow up

people need to grow up and quit whining about things that they have no conrol over so what if he was 2k i know alot of people who will spend that much on cigarettes and not think what 2nd hand smoke does to taxpayers. but in the end Bo is not causing Cancer but instead he brings happiness to his family the Obama's

so let it go.

Hey-

It took forever to get a PWD and the first breeder did not think we spoke puppy speak enough and turned us down after 5 months of waiting..something like an adoptive parent criteria I assume. Really Wow, can they just write off the fees and charge us as a tax expense?

So What happens when we want another PWD are we have and inflation plays a cost on the breed based on demand???? Let us know how you fare Mr. Pres. We still have not been able to break our PWD of poking people in the pants. How are the delegates and dignataries to feel about the poke in a private way by the favorite BO?

I for one am looking forward to Bo and his antics.....

Please do tell

Do facts matter to the nutty right?

First, Mr. Schlessinger, the so-called spoof is of the well-known Master Card commercial, not Visa.

And how in the world can the RNC claim taxpayer money was involved when the dog was given to the Obamas by the Kennedys?

Satire is supposed to have some basis in fact. This is just the right wing's typical creation of an alternative universe that doesn't exist.

Hey Owen, ONLY a Democrat could make a gift dog cost the taxpayers $2k! I bet the dog has a $2.5 million dollar Secret Service security detail too! Probably has a food taster, someone to inspect the White House Lawn for landmines before he goes out and lays his own...

Wasn't Bo a gift from Senator Kennedy?

If, as I recall, Bo was a gift from Senator Kennedy, then how did he cost any taxpayer money?
