I'm sure there are many petitions flying around cyberspace. I am also sure that both the Obama parents will take this decision seriously, and that it is their business and their hearts that will decide. They both seem like very intelligent people, and I am not worried.

I am sure Sasha and Malia bug them every night, and euqally sure mommy and Daddy say "Let's wait until we settle into the new house, so it won't be as confusing for the new doggie!" And until that day arrives, people will speculate and conjecture and opine - about this and everything else!

We humans are a peculiar bunch, aren't we?
