Bo takes on a Secret Service K9 and the Press

[RamboLiberal]

Bo, it seems, likes the press.

The Obama’s black Portuguese Water Dog was aboard Air Force One with the First Family this afternoon, making his maiden journey to the Windy City, when he made a break for the back of the plane where the press sit.

And Bo wasn’t alone. He brought with him the president, who only makes rare appearances in the press cabin.

It was unclear whose presence caused a greater stir, the dog or the master. A stunned press pool was described as “cooing” at the sight of Bo. Obama cracked the old Washington D.C., joke about getting a dog if you need a real friend.

Told about a preflight altercation --- described as a “barking match” -- between Bo and a Secret Service K9 at Andrews Air Force Base, Obama replied, “I didn’t want him getting into it with the Secret Service. I’ve seen them training.”

1. Can Bo be taught to bite anyone in the press?

Just kidding...sort of. Barney (Bush's pooch) did it, once.

3. Poor Barney.

I always felt sorry for that dog. After being dropped on his head by his idiot owner, being forced to star in ridiculous videos, and all those other indignities he had to endure, I didn't blame him for going after a member of the sycophantic media who worshiped his owner and encouraged many of those indignities.
