Isn't That So Democrat?

Obama promised a rescue dog from a shelter. Now he has a dog that the first owner rejected. It has never been to a shelter, etc. We are splitting hairs here. He BROKE his promise. But, it is so democratic party to say one thing and do another. Another typical political lie.

PROMISES, PROMISES: Is Obama dog a rescue or not?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Is Bo a rescued dog or not? Did President Obama keep or break a campaign promise in picking the purebred as the family's new pet?
The twists and turns of the Portuguese water dog's route to the White House make for the kind of intrigue that political junkies and the highly opinionated dog world delight in.
Bo arrives officially on Tuesday—though the administration released a photo on Monday of the new pet romping with the president at the White House.

Barack Obama and his wife Michelle said during the presidential campaign that they had promised their two girls a dog after the election.
The Obamas repeatedly said they wanted it to be a rescued dog such as one from a shelter. Their search was complicated by daughter Malia's allergies, which would rule out many of the "mutts" the president has said he would prefer.
Enter Bo, a 6-month-old puppy given up by his first owner and matched with the Obamas through his breeders. Because he was given up by his first owner as a poor fit and is now with his second owners, the Obamas, but never spent time in a shelter or with a rescue group, Bo is a "quasi-rescue dog," says Wayne Pacelle, chief executive of The Humane Society of the United States.
