Um, Barney - one of Bush's dogs bit the finger of a guy from Reuters. I kind of like that dog.
White House correspondent Jon Decker reports that President Bush's dog Barney, going on a walk this morning on the North Lawn, let his reaction to the news show.
He "bit my right index finger this morning -- as I reached down to pet him," Decker said. The bite broke skin and the wound was bleeding enough to prompt White House physician Dr. Richard Tubb to treat Decker with antibiotics. He will also be getting a tetanus shot. ...
Where will the Obama girls go to school?

Where will Malia and Sasha Obama , 7 and 10 years old, go to school in Washington, D.C.? Sidwell Friends, Chelsea Clinton’s alma mater, and Georgetown Day are the most likely private schools. Schools chief Michelle Rhee is pushing her daughter’s public school, high-scoring Oyster Elementary . A bilingual school, Oyster is half Hispanic and only 10 percent black. Matt Yglesias suggests a charter school , such as the conveniently located Capital City Public Charter School , which is 54 percent black, 27 percent white and 18 percent Hispanic.

Hallelujah! The White House released the LAST Barney Christmas video. Since I am in a foul mood because I fell and busted my ass going to the mailbox, I feel it necessary to torture ya'll. Some of you may think it cute; I don't. I watched it once and that is enough. I think we all know the truth about Barney! Synopsis: The Bush Family chat about patriotism and that Barney needs to get off his ass and decorate the house. Barney runs around while a bunch of humans do the actual job. He poops out and dreams of Olympic gold. (The special effects are ...
Barney's last bite at WH Christmas
The Swamp —
by Frank James
The White House has delivered its last Barneycam Christmas video and, needless to say, the incoming Obama pooch will has a tough act to follow. Scottish terriers look like they've got it all figured out, don't they?
Weirdly, one of the strongest reactions I had after watching it was, do the Bushes really let the dogs sit on White House antiques?

According to a new WSJ/NBC poll, “support for President Barack Obama’s health-care effort has declined over the past five weeks, particularly among those who already have insurance.” Among those with private insurance, the proportion calling the plan a bad idea rose to 47% from 37%.
Liberals on the House Energy and Commerce Committee reluctantly agreed last night to support a compromise on health care reform brokered by Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) and four “Blue Dog” Democrats. “We’re ready to rock and roll,” said Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-NC), ...
