At CPAC (the magnet for conservative crazy-talk) Bachmann claimed President Barack Obama was living an excessively lavish lifestyle in the White House on the taxpayer's dime claiming, that Obama has a staffer dedicated to walking Obama's dog, Bo.

Not only does that re-enforce the belief that the GOP is the stupid party, summoning thoughts of Pres. Obama walking a leashed Bo on Pennsylvania Avenue and having him mowing the White House lawn, but it isn't even true. The White House gardener has walking presidential dogs since 1972.

I think the personal relationship between the President and his wife is none of our business.

Do they have an official dog walker ? Maybe they can cut back and when the official taster isn't tasting the President's food he can be walking the President's dog.

I've heard that in places other than from Michele Bachmann. If the taxpayer is paying this guy's $100k salary, then yes, he should walk his own damn dog.

For current conservatives, the rules for Obama are different then for any other president (and human being) in history.

Why don't the girls walk the dog around the property? What's the point of owning a dog if you can't walk it. I find getting exercise with my dog one of the most enjoyable parts of owning a dog. Is the dog just for looks? Needless to say they have never picked up the dogs sh*t either.

Yes Bachmann distorts as much as Obama and she made some ridiculous comments.

Why don't you grow up?

If you were a republican this would be Exhibit A for a "War on Women." You criticize a female politician by using her gender in a disgusting way.

I generally agree. There have been many unfair attacks on Michelle.

Nothing is ever his fault, not lies, not broken promises that he could fulfill without congress, not hypocrisy...nothing. The sheep will follow the Shepherd anywhere, even over a cliff.

Read the 1st post for your answer. The gardener walks the dog.
