Puppy Arrives at White House, Immediately Takes Control

Thank GOD, we've been waiting for these shots of the Obama family romping with new family member Bo, the Portuguese Water Dog, for DAYS. And they do not disappoint. The First Puppy met the press corps today on the White House lawn, where it first dragged Malia Obama, then Michelle, and then the president of the United States all around on the grass. The First Lady attempted to get him to perform tricks, but Obama warned that there was "too much pressure." "He's a star!" crowed the president. "He's got star quality!" Man, are these people good at a photo op or what?
