Will First Pup Bo Rule the Roost Or Backup POTUS at the White House

First Pup BoWhat POTUS can't get from Republicans, he reportedly has from Bo, the new First Dog.

When meeting Barack Obama a few weeks ago, in a top secret meeting with Malia and Sasha, Bo reportedly followed POTUS obediently.

Other details of the meeting follow later in the article, but Sasha was excited; Malia focused on all the “responsibility issues” – how will Bo be trained, cared for, etc.

If Easter is about rebirth and new beginnings, then it's a perfect time for a First Puppy Bo debut.

The nation's new First Puppy won't hit the White House lawn until Tuesday, but he's ready now to join the O-effect friends and family conga line.

Certain expectations are confirmed. The 6-month-old Portuguese water dog is a gift from senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts.

The Charlotte Observer confirms that Malia and Sasha named the First Pup Bo because their cousins have a cat named Bo, and Michelle's father was nicknamed Diddley. (Insert Bo Diddley.)

The Obama girls did meet Bo when he arrived at the White House a few weeks ago, for a surprise meeting with the girls.

Bo charmed the first family, a source who was there said. He sat when the girls sat, stood when the girls stood. He made no toilet errors and did not gnaw on the furniture. Bo has, after all, been receiving lessons in good behavior from the Kennedys' dog trainers. These lessons have been taking place at a secret, undisclosed location outside Washington.

Bo, though he was raised elsewhere, already has a keen sense of who's in charge inside the Beltway. When the president walked across the room during the visit, Bo followed obediently.

Sasha was excited; Malia focused on all the “responsibility issues” – how will Bo be trained, cared for, etc.

“Malia has done extensive research,” the source said.

Bo's arrival also puts to rest the discussion of whether the new First Pup will be a rescue dog or a brand spanking new arrival, straight from the breeder.

Like POTUS, Bo has platinum credentials but he has lived around a bit. Bo did live with another family, but he wasn't a good fit, perhaps because Porties want to run, run, run. The Obamas have announced that they will be making a donation to the D.C. Humane Society. A
