I remember after Obama won the presidential election, but before the First Family moved into the White House, whole news articles were writen about what kind of dogs they were going to buy. Their dauther was allergic to some breeds, and Barack Obama wanted to rescue a puppy from an animal shelter.
“There are a number of breeds that are hypoallergenic, but on the other hand our preference is to get a shelter dog, but obviously, a lot of the shelter dogs are mutts like me,” said Obama.
And from the words, "mutts like me", they're analyzing his posible views on race relations!
All that attention from what was meant as a joke!?
