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  |
No need to get snippy. We're all friends here, right?
I adopted Thor from a friend of mine who moved to New York. So according to Obama's criteria, I guess I have a rescue.
I plan on getting another dog in another 6 to 12 months. Never say never, but at this point, I would rather wait another year or more to get the right dog from a rescue or shelter than get one from a breeder.
I have no problem with other people going to breeders. It's just not my style. Yes, I hold the President to a higher moral standard than Joe Schmoe. He's supposed to be a
leader. If he wanted to be ordinary, he wouldn't have run for office.
I understand that other people care about other issues more than animal welfare, and I respect that. For me, animal welfare is my thing. This is the issue I put my money and attention towards.
