New Reasons I Love Our President


He named the White House dog Bo. In a tangential way for Bo Diddley.

And more importantly, he runs a White House where a number of the tickets given out for the White House Easter egg roll were designated for gay and lesbian families.

I'd just kiss him all day for that one.

  3. I agree with PF, that photo is supertastic! It really makes me happy to see!

    I didn't know that he had named his dog Bo. My mother will be so pleased, her dog is named Bo also.

  4. Petit Fleur- Let's start a fan club! You can be president. I'll be secretary!

    DTG- I believe that our Mabel may be a Maynard. He/she eats every bug I manage to get in there AND he tried to fly already. He didn't but he did leap over all of his litter mates.

    Lady Lemon- Bo Obama. Nice ring to it, huh?

    Maggie- Yes. I wish I had taken that picture because that would mean I'd been that close. Sigh.

  7. YES YES YES!!!! Let's do start a fan club!! Maybe it will get me over my fear of both commitments and joining. Maybe those two are the same thing? Anyway, I'm in.

    GOBAMA~!

  8. Magnum- Just call Ted Kennedy. He might have another pup he'd give you. And he did NOT name that dog after himself.

    AJ- Amen!

    Ms. Fleur- No dues though, okay?

  9. I think I read that neither he or Michelle had a doggie growing up. How cute is that photo? Aww. :) Almost as cute as you kissing that little chick.

  10. Hello Ms. Moon,
    Just wanted to drop in and say although you don't hear from me very often, I do keep up with your postings. They are a delightful part of my day.
    Love,
    BL

  11. Zelzee- Isn't he though?

    Nicol- Nah. Obama was far cuter.

    Big Lou- That makes me just incredibly happy. We miss you and Maxine! I'm so glad you're coming back in a few weeks. Thank you so much for helping with the chicken coop.

  12. Dr. Zibbs- I have no idea how you found my blog but after perusing yours, I think that we share a few sensibilities.
    And thanks for the compliment on the header. The picture is of a Day of the Dead altar that my kids made for me once when I got back from Mexico because they didn't want me to miss Mexico so much that it made me sad.
    I have the greatest kids in the world.
    And the quote? Bob Dylan, as I said, and boy is that a great quote or what!?

  13. These are the reasons you like the President? Yikes. Personally I think a president should be judged on the basis of his policies, and I'm not so sure he's doing too well in that area.

  14. Ichabod Chrain- I said "new reasons." And you're not so sure? Well, who of us is? I feel honored to be visited by someone who has been covering Orthodox Judaism since 2004. Please come back to visit. I feel we sort of live on different planets and I would appreciate your perspective.

  15. AW, great photo. I love how he's sort of in midair, and so is the dog.

    And they got a black dog :)

    It's so nice to have an appealing president instead of a simian, gurning one.
