Another reason for those sky-high approval ratings:

Kinda hard to hate on a guy holding a disabled puppy with only three legs!

Wow, it's like he's metaphorically cradling the very United States in his hands.

I can't help but visualize John McCain on the cover, eating one of the legs.

They haven't picked a dog yet, right? At first I thought that this was the dog they picked... not so.

Did anybody see that Anderson Cooper thing where he holds a mock debate between dogs for who should be the Obama's pet? Very corny and funny...

Oh, and I would kill to see the Slog posts/comments if the Obamas pick a pit bull. That would be awesome...

I loved the Daily Show spin on the AC360 "puppy debate" ...

That said, I don't recommend a rescue dog for the White House - it's hard enough being a person there ...

And here's a pic of Barack and Baby (that's the dog's name) in front of the Lincoln Memorial. It will show up on the revolving featured image:

The CNN puppy debate was one of Andy Cooper's best moments to date.

We call him "Andy" because we luvs him so!

What is BSL? Is that some sort of dog sodomy acronym?

So, what if it was a 3-legged pit bull that had lost it's hair to cancer?

Hmm?

Must be a slow news month when we care so much about the Obama's pet! Nice that they rescued one tho, and to #11 - Ew

@15..Obama has actually supported anti-BSL efforts. He is a FINE FINE man. This was just the icing :)

I think Obama should adopt Baby, poodles are smart and great with kids. Plus what could be more perfect than a white dog for the white house.
