The baths, used up to 5 times a day during the spiritual holiday, before each prayer call, became a constant chore for the Secret Service Agents delegated to insure that the bath water was always at the right temperature, and purer than the bottled imported water favoured by the First Lady.

Bo, the lovable retriever, who remained largely ignored after the first few photo ops in the rose garden, was forced to entertain himself due to lack of attention. Imagine his delight, when during investigation for discarded chicken and rib bones under the Obama Dining Table, he was able to find 17 private pools for his canine delight!

Bo, who is black, is said to be happy in his new home and doesn't feel that his 'dumping' was racially motivated.

It is truly sad when rules are held in higher esteem than a member of your own family.

I pity any who does this as it shows a serious lack of empathy and ability to care.
