A though comes to me\u00c2\u00a0regarding the\u00c2\u00a0Obamas’ new\u00c2\u00a0Puppy.\u00c2\u00a0 He is, in the hauntings of\u00c2\u00a0the media attention regarding the puppy and in the White House life with the family in tow, “Kennedy-esque.”\u00c2\u00a0 The Puppy in Camelot.\u00c2\u00a0 Camelot is the Puppy.<\/p>\n

But he is not a pure\u00c2\u00a0amalgration of these figures.\u00c2\u00a0 He is one at a time.\u00c2\u00a0 He avoided a Carter-esque moment in getting the hostages out of the Pirate Ship — or perhaps he was the fulfillment of Carter-esque in that one?\u00c2\u00a0 Well, never mind: right now the public is gawking at a goddamned dog for the kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
