Wanda Sykes and rescue dogs

Conservatives are apparently upset with comedian Wanda Sykes and some of her remarks at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner last weekend. Without getting into politics, we did enjoy a laugh at her joke about President Obama and his new dog.

Critics, she said, "even gave  you grief about the dog, about Bo. You know, animal rights people on you. 'Why didn't he get a rescue dog? Why didn't you get a rescue dog?' Look, the man has to rescue a country that was abused by its previous owner. Let him have a fresh start with a dog."

I say give him a pass if he saves a few dogs by giving them a lift on Air Force. http://bit.ly/z5FYB

Hey, if Obama can't even follow up on a promise to "rescue a dog", how the heck do you expect him to rescue the country. Talk about abuse, someone needs to find out who abused Nancy Pelosi's face.

I think the joke was excellent - the poor man has enough on his plate!
