Republikanerna till attack mot Obamas hund Bo

Den Republikanska Nationalkommittén har släppt en reklamsnutt där de bland annat klagar på priset för Obamas hund Bo:



En anklagelse den liberala bloggen Daily Kos, skriver är stora likheter med vad Republikanerna en gång anklagade Franklin Delano Roosevelt för i september 1944, när FDR sa följande:

" These Republican leaders have not been content with attacks on me, or my wife, or on my sons. No, not content with that, they now include my little dog, Fala. Well, of course, I don't resent attacks, and my family doesn't resent attacks, but Fala does resent them. You know, Fala is Scotch, and being a Scottie, as soon as he learned that the Republican fiction writers in Congress and out had concocted a story that I had left him behind on the Aleutian Islands and had sent a destroyer back to find him - at a cost to the taxpayers of two or three, or eight or twenty million dollars- his Scotch soul was furious. He has not been the same dog since. I am accustomed to hearing malicious falsehoods about myself - such as that old, worm-eaten chestnut that I have represented myself as indispensable. But I think I have a right to resent, to object to libelous statements about my dog."

Se följande klipp med FDR:



Det återstår att se om Obama kommer att komma till sin hund Bos, försvar, eller om denne är kapabel att försvara sig själv. Bushs hund Barney, var sin storlek till trots, ganska duktig på att markera sin egen mark - även gentemot närgångna journalister.
