• Will Obama Rescue a Dog?
  
  Tags: Obama dog Hey, if it's important enough to mention in his speech that he was getting a puppy, it's important enough for us to talk about it. He did say in the past that he would adopt a dog. Let's hope he sends a progressive message by giving a shelter dog a new home.

• Bo Obama in "Much Ado About Nothing"
  
  Some are saying that President Obama broke his promise to get a rescue dog. Ted Kennedy gave him to the Obamas as an act of friendship.

  Let's keep our fingers crossed. In one of his first presidential acts, President Barack Obama has ordered federal agencies to halt all pending regulations until his administration can review them....

• Bo Celebrated Birthday with Veal
  
  Bo Obama celebrated his birthday with a doghouse cake made out of veal. Certainly disappointed in the Obamas for such a poor choice of "cake." Tags: Obama veal bo obam Ugh. When I was still a meat-eater, the two foods I would not touch were veal and lamb. Veal is especially cruel, even for factory farming, although now I think foie gras is a strong competitor.

  I’m proud to announce today that the HSLF board of directors—which is comprised of both Democrats and Republicans—has voted unanimously to endorse Barack Obama for President. The Obama-Biden ticket is the better choice on animal protection, and we urge all voters who care about the humane treatment of animals, no matter what their party affiliation, to vote for them. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) Not a big surprise considering McCain's VP choice. Sen.
