I'm really disappointed in Barack Obama.
I mean, the man's been president for 14 days... FOURTEEN!... and where the hell is that puppy he promised us?

My pet column for the San Francisco Chronicle on SFGate.com 
Other Places I Blog
- AfterElton.com
I blog there mostly about movies, actors, and TV shows, but sometimes I sneak in some politics. - AfterEllen.com
I don't blog here as frequently as at their brother site, AfterElton.com, but they let my inner Warrior Princess run free now and then when I have news to report about Lucy Lawless, Renee O'Connor, or Xena: Warrior Princess.

I thought you were going to talk about that whole dropping Don't Ask reform like a hot rock.

The truth is, Christopher, I'm not paying the slightest attention to what he's doing right now, and if in his first two weeks he'd done anything at all on that I'd have died of shock and also, worried... because this country is on the verge of complete collapse and I'm totally fine with him focusing on the economy and learning to use the phones at the new office right now.
That's kind of what the puppy joke was all about. ;)

God! You had me going there for a minute! LOL
Why don't you organize an online petition, demanding that the puppy question be resolved before the end of the month. The man has got to get his priorities straight! ;-)

I think he was too busy signing the new children's health bill...

Yeah, yeah, there's always an excuse, isn't there?
Posted by: Christie | 04 February 2009 at 09:18 PM
Had me going there for a second, Christie... LOL

That's funny!!!
(Have you ever had the *pleasure* of visiting "zootoo.com"? This is the kind of entry that would have people posting and arguing for days on end. Seriously. I think it's a rule that you have to check your sense of humor at the door there.)

Well, he can't very well get a puppy until he decides whether he's going to train it using "purely positive", operant, balanced (tm), Koehler or any other mutually exclusive technique, can he?
Posted by: EmilyS | 06 February 2009 at 07:37 PM
I think you'll find that he is too busy trying to convince people he needs $1.2 trillion to flog a dead horse.

You'll just have to be patient a little while longer. But remember, good things come to those who wait... ;-)
Posted by: Timy | 25 February 2009 at 02:41 PM
Surely the stimulus package should count as his first dog...
Posted by: Chris | 26 February 2009 at 12:42 AM
"Dog" is a compliment here, so I'd say so, yes.
