The White House Weighs in on President-Elect Obama



Over the last few days, different members of the Bush Administration have weighed in on Barack Obama being the first black President of the United States. From President Bush to Condoleezza Rice, they have all spoken of this momentous occasion in US history. One member of the White House, though, is clearly a little bit peeved about the election results. I am not sure if it is because he doesn't like Obama, or because he doesn't want to move out, but Senior White House Pet, the Scottish Terrier Barney, is pissed. Here is a video of the testy terrier following a press conference about the White House transition.


According to his White House biography, Barney was born in September of 2000, the son of Coors (a Scottish Terrier owned by former Environmental Protection Agency Director Christine Todd Whitman) and Kelly (of Champion Motherwell Stormwarning).
This means he has spent almost all of his life in the White House. I guess he just doesn't want to go, and is likely angry that Obama has promised his girls a new puppy. He does seem to be a nice dog though. Enjoy some more pictures of Barney.

Oh. My. Lord. I totally busted out laughing when I saw the video. I'm going to watch it again. And again. Hilarious!
