Why is this dog so important? This is the Obama's new puppy, and our country could not be more obsessed with it. Sure, it is a cute little puppy. But why is this puppy making headlines all across the nation? Shouldn't we be more worried about the pirates off the coast of Africa or the economy or the Iraq War? Yes, but we are not. I think that this says a lot about our culture and the media. There are so many stories coming at us everyday that we get bored and tired of the real news and focus on the less important things like what Britney Spears is wearing or what Paula Abdul said to Ryan Seacrest. The really shocking news, or what should be shocking, has turned into just another suicide bombing in Iraq or just another economic crisis on Wall Street. We are drowning in all of the serious news, so we focus on the stupid happy stuff, like what kind of dog the president now owns. Personally, I am really tired of hearing about the new puppy, but that's just me.
