Hard Truths




President-elect Barack Obama met with some Chicago schoolchildren today, along with Joe Biden and handsome new education secretary Arne Duncan. They talked decimals, they talked Iraq, and they talked business. Dog business. From the AP:

The president-elect talked about how his daughters, 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha, will get a dog when they make the move to the White House next month.

"They've been asking for a dog for years now," he said.

Obama said the girls would need to take care of their pet. And that didn't just mean feeding and walking the dog.

"You know, if they do their business, if they've got some poop — you got to make sure that you're not just leaving it there," Obama said.


This is absolutely true, and it takes a brave leader to say it. You cannot just leave it there.

well, you can leave it there, but eventually people won't feel comfortable visiting anymore, and that could be awkward for Obama's presidency.

His predecessor doesn't seem so bothered about leaving a mess for someone else to clean up!!!!!
