My guess is that he has had 1000's offers from all over the world for puppies and after he gets in office, or maybe before, he will announce that he is accepting this most gracious gift from His Royal So and So. If he doesn't he just blew a prefect diplomacy opportunity. He can always say that he just had to get the puppy because the girls just fell in love with it. Who is going to call him a jerk for not breaking the little girls heart? What puppy he gets and who he gets it from is the least of his problems :0) Do you really think anyone is going to run a headline that reads. Obama bends to PETA Power. Terry who is glad to be back in the land of the sun. ________________________________ From: Bonnie Dinsmore <vonadlerhof@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2009 3:54:28 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Obamas purchasing Gerchi Shephercrest Is this for real??
