News is coming in that President Obama has made good on his promise to get a dog for the White House.
He has chosen a Poodle, from a re-homing charity called the New Labour Party of Great Britain.
The poodle, an adult male called Gordon, is believed to be in need of a new home. A veterinarian spokeman for the White House said that the animal was in a poor way, and that the President had taken pity on it because of it’s fawning nature and inbred cowardice. It has only one eye, no friends, and lots of fleas.
