Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Obama Dog Gets Milk-Bones for Life

November 06, 2008 12:10 PM ET | Paul Bedard | Permanent Link | Print

President-elect Barack Obama hasn't even gone to the pound to get his long-promised puppy for daughters Sasha and Malia, but when it arrives, there will be a present awaiting the fur ball. Milk-Bone tells us that it will provide a lifetime supply of the doggie treat to the new first family. Why? Well, says the firm celebrating its 100th anniversary, "to welcome the first pup to the White House." The firm adds in a release to us: "Milk-Bone, the iconic pet snack brand that is celebrating its 100th anniversary by recognizing Milk-Bone Moments, wishes to congratulate the new first family on the historic moment that occurred Tuesday night and their commitment to future pet parenthood by offering to supply the family with a LIFETIME supply of Milk-Bone dog biscuits. The Milk-Bone brand takes an oath to keep the presidential pooch-elect stocked with as many dog biscuits as he or she could wish for!"

Amazing post i must say that was worth reading

Free Stuff

I agree, the president does not need free milkbones.

Milkbones and other companies for pets should make sure the food banks have enough for the pets of people who go there.

I for one, always include dog food when donating.

Free Milk Bones for Presidental

I am SO tired of people getting things for free that i have to struggle to pay for. The president doesn't have to worry about his income like the rest of us do. I struggle every week to be able to get what my family needs. I am outraged that some people are getting everything handed to them on a silver plate. The families who are having kids like a litter of puppies (6,8 kids) get FREE home, vacations, cars, etc. I haven't been able to take my family on vacation for the last 12 years, just because I only have one child. If I were MASS PRODUCING CHILDREN, i would have all of these nice things for free. Who started the thinking that just because you have many multiples you are entitled to a free ride???
