I’m not surprised that President Obama recently acquired a cute new puppy. After all, there’s a long history of the strategic use of dogs by politicians.
Limerick Ode To The Diversionary Dog
By Madeleine Begun Kane
They say dogs are politically handy—
As distractions, attractively dandy.
Barack’s numbers are down,
And he knows that no frown
Can resist POTUS pup operandi.
