Ladies and Gentlemen, the much anticipated promise of the campaign has finally been kept!  On Election Night, Barack Obama told his two girls, Malia and Sasha, that they  had been so good on the campaign trail that they had earned a new dog at the White House.  Everybody wanted to give their opinion on what type of dog First Family should get, but it wound up being a Portuguese Water Dog given to them by Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA).  The press conference is happening as I type and I am receiving up-to-the-minute blogging on Politico.com.  Seventy reporters are attending the Press Conference.

Also, the Huffington Post has a brief article on how the Obama daughters came up with their new dog’s name:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/12/obamas-new-dog-bo-a-gift-_n_185930.html
