Wrong! Not if you are a crazed Right Wing racist it's not.
This from the Daily Caller:
“A Portuguese Water Dog can range in cost wildly. On average, one will pay between $1,400 and $2,000. President Barack Obama has this breed of animal,” according to an answer on Ask.com.
With the addition of Sunny, the Obamas now have two black Portuguese water dogs.
The Obamas do not have any white dogs.
Can't argue with that. Clearly the new dog Sunny, is black. Completely black.
Unlike Bo who had a little white on his paws this new dog is clearly a member in good standing of the Black Panthers.
And as if THAT were not enough (And seriously how could it not be?) the dog's name is also clearly an homage to the President's secret handlers, the Muslim Brotherhood.
This courtesy of the Atlantic Wire:
Sunny? That sounds sort of close to Sunni, as in the branch of Islam, the religion some conspiracy theorists think President Obama adheres to.
So there you have it. The President's new dog is an all black Islamist Fundamentalist who was probably brought in to help the President establish Sharia law and undermine the Constitution.
And that makes perfect sense. If you are a crazy person.
Such fucking idiots. They really need to do some research on this. If Obama was Muslim he wouldn't keep a dog in the house.
ReplyDeleteIt is not permissible for a Muslim to keep a dog, unless he needs this dog for hunting, guarding livestock or guarding crops.

Didn't George W Bush have 2 black dogs as well?
ReplyDeleteYes indeedy. And Barney, the brave Bush Scottie, saved GWB from choking on a pretzel. He must have been a Republican dog, though black.
DeleteFranklin Roosevelt's Fala was a black Scottie, too. I'm sure there's an historian of Presidential pets who could add even more ridiculous detail.
Wiliam and Kate and little baby Prince George have an all-black dog, too. What is going on?
Plus, my parakeet when I was little was named Sunny, for its disposition. I'd never heard of Muslim factions back then.
For those with short memories, "Bo" was a present from Sen. Ted Kennedy. He loved the breed, and clearly the Obamas do, too.
Malia Obama is allergic to dog fur, which is why A Portuguese
Water Dog was one of the few breeds they could choose from, because it's hypoallergenic. It's why they couldn't just get a pound dog.
Did the Palins have a dog or two recently? Where did they go? One was, shudder, black.
No dog breed is completely hypoallergenic. I have Samoyeds. They are sometimes said to be hypoallergenic as well. They're not, but some people who are allergic to dogs can tolerate a Sammy. People are allergic to different things. While the Samoyed is good for some people with allergies, if you don't keep up with the grooming your dog picks up pollen when it's outside and that can stay in their coat...and you're "allergic" again. Personally I'm glad the Obamas got another dog of the breed they want. I support and participate in Samoyed Rescue so don't give me a lecture on "adopt don't shop." This is 'Murica. You should be free (freedom!!!) to have the breed of dog you love - purebred or mixed breed.
Delete+1
DeleteWhatever his hypoallergenic properties, clearly Bo fit in well with the Obamas, who must love him a great deal to want to get him a pal to play with, and for them to love all the more.
When you get down to the level of what kind of pets other people choose to have, you're really reaching.
Exception: pythons, cobras, alligators, etc.
The Bush twins also had a beautiful all-black cat, called "India". That's one of the few things I liked about the twins. (Though they seem to have improved as they've aged.)
Deletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_%28cat%29
Bo was rehomed to Ted Kennedy, another NE family had ordered a pup(Bo) from a breeder in Texas and their already fur baby a female PWD's did not like Bo and they had to rehome him. Ted Kennedys (who had at least 3 PWD's took Bo and then he gifted Bo to the Obama girls, so Bo was rehomed twice. As for Sunny, she is beautiful and I am suspecting she is rehomed as well since most people rarely buy a year old dog from a breeder.
DeleteMy guess the reason the Obamas didn't Sunny until now was she went through extensive training before being allowed into the White House and interacting with the public.
DeleteBoth dogs are adorable and I loved the videos of them playing together.
DeleteI do not feel comfortable in homes that do not have pets. They just feel cold and sterile.
Republicans Are Beginning To Worry They Could Lose The House In 2014
ReplyDelete...“Several influential Republicans told us the party is actually in a worse place than it was Nov. 7, the day after the disastrous election,” Politico’s Mike Allen and Jim Vandehei reported last week. They couldn’t find a Republican in Washington D.C. who didn’t see “a disaster in the making.”
Here are five reasons that even Republicans look at their representatives in the House and see disaster.
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/page/300653_Republicans_Are_Beginning_To_W
Well, the Republicans aren't going to lose the House unless WE GET OUR PEOPLE OUT TO VOTE. Dems stayed home in 2010, becoming complacent and thinking the job was done in 2008.
DeleteIt isn't going to matter who's in the White House in 2016 if Republicans control both houses of Congress.
These people are freaking nutz! George W. and Ronald Reagan both had black dogs and no one seemed to care. And what a crock of shit that "Sunny" is really "Sunni." Will Sarah tell her people to stop making shit up?
ReplyDeleteBut, DUH, that shows that they weren't racist because they were WHITE families with BLACK dogs! Get it, they love black even though they are white. I think it's in one of the amendments to the Constitution...look it up!
DeleteAnd, really, naming a BLACK dog Sunny can only mean Sunni, because... BENGHAZI!
They CAN'T stop making stuff up, because they are mentally and morally incapable of not making stuff up. Here's an example, just one among thousands. Today I read that one-third of all Louisiana republicans are blaming President Obama for the delayed response to Hurricane Katrina. Yes, you read that right: they apparently believe OBAMA was president when Katrina happened. Thank you, Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch, et al, for destroying the brains of an entire nation. Here's a link to the Louisiana poll.

DeletePoll: Louisiana GOPers Unsure if Katrina Response Was Obama’s Fault
ReplyDeleteA significant chunk of Louisiana Republicans evidently believe that President Barack Obama is to blame for the poor response to the hurricane that ravaged their state more than three years before he took office.
The latest survey from Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling, provided exclusively to TPM, showed an eye-popping divide among Republicans in the Bayou State when it comes to accountability for the government’s post-Katrina blunders.
Twenty-eight percent said they think former President George W. Bush, who was in office at the time, was more responsible for the poor federal response while 29 percent said Obama, who was still a freshman U.S. Senator when the storm battered the Gulf Coast in 2005, was more responsible. Nearly half of Louisiana Republicans — 44 percent — said they aren’t sure who to blame.
Bush was criticized heavily when he did not immediately return to Washington from his vacation in Texas after the storm had reached landfall. The government was also slow to provide relief aid and Michael Brown, then-director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), admitted in a televised interview that he learned that many of the storm’s victims at the New Orleans Convention Center were without food and water well after the situation had been reported in the press.
Brown’s handling of the response ultimately led to his resignation, but Bush offered an infamous endorsement of the FEMA chief only days before he stepped down.
“Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job,” Bush said.

Are people really this stupid?
DeleteI often have to remind myself that intelligence is a bell curve.
I these people are this stupid why did we even bother to save them?
DeleteYour last sentence says it all "If you are a crazy person". This fringe faction of the far right is in fact so willing to believe any crackpot right wing idea that is put in front of them that in fact, they do seem crazy. It's as if they are involved in an elaborate performance art piece, but it's not, this is real life and these people really live it and really think this way.
ReplyDeleteI used to be angry, then I began to feel sorry for them, now I'm simply disgusted by their stupidity and lack of knowledge. They go about this world with blinders on stealing our air only to live and breathe to create fantastical conspiracy theories that no sane person could ever possibly condone.
They are hateful, stupid, and gullible. These characteristics should be neither lauded nor commended, and especially not encouraged, yet some proudly display this mental burden as a badge of honor.
AND they vote. That's the part that is so disheartening.
Delete"AND they vote"....Not only disheartening but also downright scary!
Delete"AND they vote. That's the part that is so disheartening."
DeleteWhat's even more disheartening is that they prevent OTHER people from voting. By the millions.
But most importantly, these idiots breed. Just look at those degenerate Palins. They hump like hamsters.
DeleteI think the new dog is darling. Apparently the Obamas thought that Bo needed some canine company. No one can argue with that. But, we know that the right wing will.
ReplyDeleteDogs bring such love and companionship with them. As we sat in the examining room the other day while our beloved and very ill dog was "put to sleep," I said that dogs were God's best invention. We miss our dog and her predecessor dogs immensely.
One has to be really mean to begrudge the Obama family the devotion of a couple of family pets. I don't recall any Democrats whining about George W, Bush's Scottie dogs. Where was the Daily Caller then? The Scotties were also black.

Bo's personality was a good fit for the Obama family. Can't fault them for staying with the same breed.
ReplyDeleteDaily Caller is mindless drivel for terminal haters.
One of the kids has an allergy to dogs, and that particular breed is supposed to be hypoallergenic.
DeleteThe Guardian’s Computer Smash-Up Story Grows Increasingly Bizarre & Ridiculous
ReplyDelete...First and foremost, and contrary to what was implied in editor Alan Rusbridger’s think-piece, it turns out that the British GCHQ officials didn’t force The Guardian staffers to destroy the computers.
On July 20, 2013, without any photographs or video to document any of it (inside a newsroom no less) three employees under the direction of Rusbridger voluntarily destroyed the computer(s).
Rusbridger took the decision that if the government was determined to stop UK-based reporting on the Snowden files, the best option was destroy the London copy and to continue to edit and report from America and Brazil.
The destruction was overseen by two agents allegedly from the GCHQ, the U.K.’s counterpart to NSA. Three staffers destroyed the computers using “angle grinders and drills.” No, the GCHQ guys didn’t raid The Guardian‘s office. They didn’t force anyone to destroy anything.
Viewed from either side, this was a purely symbolic move since the files could’ve been stashed on any one of dozens of Apple computers seen in a photograph of The Guardian‘s newsroom, not to mention the use of offsite storage. By the way, I’ll overlook the fact that The Guardian article said there was just one copy in England. Clearly, they had multiple copies on various computers.
And that’s where this gets really wacky. The Guardian included the following photograph with the caption: “The remains of a computer that held files leaked by Edward Snowden to the Guardian and destroyed at the behest of the UK government. Photograph: Roger Tooth.” That’s “a computer,” singular.
...So what really happened? It’s difficult to know, but obviously Rusbridger’s version of the episode isn’t holding water. Not only was The Guardian not forced to destroy its computers (there are many articles in need of a headline edit), but there was just one computer, a MacBook Pro, and then, mysteriously, there was suddenly a PC, too — a crappy, obsolete PC evidently left over from the days of dial-up and Windows 95, possibly the most rickety storage choice imaginable for stashing sensitive national security files.
It could be that The Guardian fabricated the whole thing, based on some shred of truth. Or it could be they pulled a fast one on the British government by sacrificing a MacBook Pro and, ostensibly, an antique PC they horked from a staffer’s grandmum. Perhaps they did so under the symbolic ruse that these random, mismatched computers contained the stolen documents. But then, if that’s the case, why all of the mentions of one computer: a MacBook Pro? And where are the hard drives? If the GCHQ didn’t seize the destroyed drives, then they must be somewhere. The Guardian hasn’t addressed this one yet.
http://bobcesca.thedailybanter.com/blog-archives/2013/08/the-guardians-computer-smash-up-story-grows-increasingly-bizarre-ridiculous.html
THe whole thing gets wackier and wackier. There was a time when the Guardian was seen as a responsible, respectable newspaper. Well, no longer since the newspaper decided to prop up Greenwald and his little empire of treason.

Piper is watching Greta sometime after 10 PM and sunlight is streaming into the room. It's a miracle. The sun set at 9:45, but somehow the Palins manage to get an extra hour or two of bright sunlight. They are truly blessed.
DeleteGood thing Piper doesn't have to get up early for. ..

A bunch of effing idiots! They're making up ridiculous claims all because they're a bunch of effing racists and can't stand that an intelligent black man is sitting in the oval office rather than a white man like Romney who didn't give two shits about them. I wonder how many of them have black or had black dogs in their household.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah !!! Romney and his dog ....
DeleteIncomprehensible stupidity. The GOP has lost it's f*king mind and hit a new low in U.S. politics.
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly the Clinton first family was criticized because they had a cat instead of a dog by the republicans but this is beyond ridiculous.

ReplyDeleteIf we all wanted to be really snarky, we could put the word out that the new first doggy was named in honor of Levis' wife. Would drive the pond residents and scarah crazy.

I don't remember ever hearing about Bo biting anyone.
ReplyDeleteAsk Reuters reporter Jon Decker if he can say the same thing about Barney.
Don't think so...
IN defense of Barney (the only Bush I like) the reporter was told not to touch the dog. He went ahead and tried to touch the dog and found out why he was told not to. I have had dogs that didn't like to be touched by strangers and it's amazing how many adults don't listen, though children do.
DeleteYes, to the ignorant suhnee sounds so much like soonee.

ReplyDeleteJFC...What is WRONG with these people? Double face palm,shaking my head in disgust and disbelief !The Obamas' have two beautiful dogs and they appear to love their dogs very much. Unlike a certain robot like ex- governor who tied his dog to the roof of their car.Unfucking believeable.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful dogs!
ReplyDeleteMy theory is they named her "Sunny" as a subtle dig to Bristol, you know, the frump that was dumped by Levi, who then married the beautiful, vivacious, vibrantly living, smart and sassy Sunny.
Or am I just overthinking things?
The price ranges wildly? Uh no. $1400 is about average for a private breeder show quality dog, and $2000 is a bargain for show winners or proven breeding stock. And $600 is NOT a wild range. If you want to talk truly nuts - see Labradoodles, who won't even breed true.
ReplyDeleteIt's all true and I'm part of it. I have an all black dog with a Moroccan name here in Hawaii. Just part of the far reaching conspiracy orchestrated in D.C.
ReplyDeleteNote to white people with white dogs- we are moving in, pooping on your lawn.
