I’m very happy that Obama won the elections…
Cos… a shelter dog will get his/her home. From homeless to White House.
Isn’t wonderful?

Michelle Obama told Entertainment Tonight recently that the family would adopt a rescue dog after the election was over. Michelle and her Democratic presidential candidate husband, Barack, made the promise to their two pre-teen daughters (Malia and Sasha). The couple told the girls (and the press) that their campaign lifestyle wouldn’t allow the family to properly train and care for a dog until after Nov. 4.
The announcement comes after summerlong campaigns to persuade the family not to get a goldendoodle, which the Obamas considered because the breed is hypoallergenic. The People for Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to the Obamas saying getting a purebred would be elitist and a petition by the Best Friends Animal Society garnered over 50,000 signatures to persuade the Obamas to adopt a dog instead of having one bred or buying one.
We are SO glad that the big “O” won too! The future is gonna be so much better with him leading the way! But we all have to work together. The poor man can’t do everything by himself. We’re so happy that he’s gonna adopt a dog too. I think it’s up to his decision on what dog he wants, either purebred, mixed, buy or adopt. At least he has passion for dogs!
