I totally agree! That's what made me make this debate... the whole big deal about what type of dog the Obamas will get. How ridiculous to waste precious public face-time talking about household pets when our country's gone to heck!

I like the Peruvian Hairless Dog but why do people care about what type of dog the Obama's are bringing into the White House? That in my opinion should be the least of anyones worries. We should be focusing on the issues and what kind of change he trying to bring the country instead.Personally what kind of dog they are bringing into the White House will not make the gas prices any lower so I can drive to and from to work and bring down my house payments.

Well, why not? He is certainly unusual looking with no hair and children often grow out of the dog/cat hair allergies the more they are exposed to them. I don't know what type of allergy she has so I don't really know if they could take that risk but why not take this little guy, if that's the only thing they can have, train him and let him be the "First Dog." He's probably the first dog to be in the White house with no hair so we have a bunch of firsts to start off with.
