The puppy

My dad was allergic when I was a kid, and we had poodles because they don't shed their hair.  Malia is allergic, so any dog that doesn't shed should be okay, but I guess that would severely limit their options at a shelter.  The family seems to have a lot of love to give, so any puppy will be lucky to be part of their family, in my opinion (and vice versa).

As far as your statement:  "But..... Seems weird. Now that I'm president and in the White House, you can have a dog. Not before, but Now you can."

Once again, the girls had wanted a puppy for a while.  They were promised one AFTER the election -- win or lose -- as a reward for having gone through the rigors of an exhausting campaign.  This isn't a new story.  It's an old one.  Following are two links that will confirm this.  As I wrote before when this nonissue was raised, there is nothing sinister or "weird" about a family promising a puppy to their young children.  It's as American as apple pie.  The fact someone can even begin to think it's "weird," to me, is beyond weird and goes, once again, to raise evil, "weird" speculation about Obama that simply doesn't exist. 

President elect Barack Obama confirmed in his victory speech that his daughters will get the puppy that they have been waiting for since before the election started. Obama said “I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House.”

Also, Access Hollywood did an interview with the Obamas last summer, again, talking about the puppy.  You can find the interview at this link:
