He couldn't get something a bit more macho like Buddy or Socks? Oh, and Sasha is a racist http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090415/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_dog_debut_11 Sure Sasha. Just like all black dogs can't swim. But I bet Bo is a really good dancer, right Sasha
I can tell that my cultural frame of reference is different from the Obamas because when I heard they were going to name the dog Bo, my first thought wasn't "Bo Diddley" but "They should have gotten two dogs and named them Bo and Luke"! I'm thinking that didn't really occur to the Obamas.
alright, I'm a dork. Our dog's name is Yogi. Cause he's huge and when he wrinkles his face he looks like a bear. Well, when we decided he needed a companion, we got another dog from the pound that was a little smaller. Of course, we named him Boo Boo. Turns out that was the most appropriately named dog in the world.
