    Who’s Tweeting in the Obama White House?

    Who’s Tweeting in the Obama White House?

    Guess what, Lassi with Lavina is being followed on Twitter by someone from the White House!

    No, not the President, not even the First Lady.  Not even the First Children but by the First Dog, Bo Diddley Obama!  Of course, I wasn’t aware that dogs could read or keyboard, much less get on to Twitter. But then again, you have to remember it’s the Obama dog and he probably has a great IQ to match the rest of the Obamas.

    I guess I should feel flattered to be followed by such an illustrious canine. He has 639 followers, is following 494 people, and has emitted 180 barks –er- I mean tweets!

    His Twitter page has a nice image of  the Top Dog, and of his home, The White House. His bio is simple and to the point: “I am a Portuguese Water Dog and so much more.”

    He may be a worldly dog but his tweets still stick to the sneakers and bones genre. A few samplings:

    I hope none of you were expecting me to talk about the state of the union. I just want a doggie biscuit.

    Mind-reading scanners at airports … yikes! Can these detect when I am thinking about running away with your sneakers? He even tweets about ‘Dad’s’ first tweet

    Now is this Bo’s official Twitter page – or is someone pulling a prank?

    It is doggone funny, even painfully candid: “It really struck me on Father’s Day that I look nothing like the POTUS or the First Lady. I’m starting to suspect that I’m adopted.”

    But wait a minute – there’s another Twitter account credited to Obama’s dog! This one says, “Still cleaning up the mess left by previous administrations. Curse you Barney! No, wait … this has Socks written all over it …”

    Due to a non-functioning pI lugin, the FB Likes disappeared  🙁  – if you like the post you can re-start the Likes all over again! I have a brand-new Like button installed!
