'mutts like me'
in the midst of some refreshing honesty about how bad the economy is (after the previous admin's sugar-coat-it-and-maybe-it'll-all-go-away strategy), obama's first press conference yielded the following gem about the puppy he promised his daughters:
With respect to the dog, this is a major issue. I think it's generated more interest on our Web site than just about anything.
We have -- we have two criteria that have to be reconciled. One is that Malia is allergic, so it has to be hypoallergenic. There are a number of breeds that are hypoallergenic.
On the other hand, our preference would be to get a shelter dog, but, obviously, a lot of shelter dogs are mutts like me. So -- so whether we're going to be able to balance those two things I think is a pressing issue on the Obama household.
