My guess is that when he said he wanted a rescued PWD, every rescue with that breed in the country got in line to offer their dogs up. He literally has a staff of people to check the dog out and train it. I expect more from him because it should be much easier for him to get a rescue; because he IS the President, and should be held to a higher standard of behavior; AND because he said he wanted to get a rescue.
Exactly...he does have a lot more resources than the average person, so what makes you think he didn't use them?? How do you know that he didn't have his name on any waiting lists?? It sounds pretty judgemental to me to put him in a higher moral category than you would put yourself. He's not GOD! Understandable that he's the President, however, let's keep in mind he's still a normal person, with a normal family trying his best to make positive change for our society. And, obivously if he SAID he wanted to get a rescue, their must have been some reason for them not doing so. In which, Im sure was the best choice for him and his family. Besides, I think I will hold him more accountable for the more pressing issues of the world, i.e: war, hunger, medical...etc... NOT A DOG

Kinda curious, what rescue did you get your pup from
