you've got to admit that Obama's quote during today's conference should go down in history:

They wanted to, but unfortunately one of his daughters has an allergy. |
They haven't gotten a dog yet. Fortunately, hypoallergenic breeds such as standard and miniature poodles and bichons frises are often available through rescue organizations or shelters. |

No problems, followed her advice never to allow on the furniture and to train to keep to living areas (no bedrooms). |
