PETA is so over the top! There is something pretty nutty about complaining about what type of dog Obama wants to purchase.

“No one needs to tell you that this country is proud to be a melting pot, and that there is something deeply wrong and elitist about wanting only a purebred dog,” Newkirk wrote in the somewhat strange letter.
“Millions of Great American Mutts — the dog that should be our national dog — are set to die in our nation’s extremely overcrowded pounds and shelters for lack of good homes. Every animal purchased from a breeder or a pet shop takes a home away from a needy animal at an animal shelter, waiting and hoping for a chance at the American dream of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

BTW, what is it with the office of president that everyone has to have a dog when they enter the White House?
