I caught that too. So cute!

I truly hope that, as part of the change they bring to the White House (and America), they adopt a puppy from a shelter.

@2, they have promised to adopt from a shelter or rescue. Yay!!!!! Not only an Obama victory, but a shelter pet in the White House.

Now that is the coolest thing ever! Such a great way to set an example for people everywhere!

@2, he has already agreed to adopt from a shelter thanks to a letter from ingrid newkirk of PETA and a petition.

Indeed, it will be a shelter puppy. The organization I work for, Best Friends Animal Society, collected 50,000 signatures and delivered the petition asking the Obamas to adopt should they win. I'd like to think we had something to do with their choice.

@6: My adopted, adorable, and smelly Beagle is very thankful for your help on getting this done!

If they get a pitbull, it won't need any lipstick.

Polioppy, when my mom was a kid.

This line was a big hit with my 10 year old (my 7 year old was already more or less asleep.)

in NYC bar where we were watching people yelled "First Puppy!"

Grant Park went APESHIT when he said that. It was AWESOME.

I hope it's a pit bull...woulnd't be the first in the white house. Theodore Roosevelt had one, as did Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter.
