It's actually a small promise - to get a shelter dog but given his child's allergies, a purebreed was probably unavoidable.
Still, it is the way the Obama's (and Ted Kennedy) went to such great lengths as described here to make it look like their new Portuguese Water Dog was a rescue animal shows how little faith they have in reasonable people.
Certainly (and my sister who worked for them can attest to this) there are some "crazy" people in the animal rescue/shelter industry. People who will condemn Obama for putting his daughter before an animal. But again, reasonable people would understand.
The knee-jerk impulse to lie, fudge, and confuse in order to do what they damn well please is endemic on both sides of the political spectrum but when a politician promises hope and change until you want to vomit and then does not keep his hope and change promises, well, that just makes it all the worse.
