This interview was conducted by p-mail, and peetweet (we are working on a nose-to-you-know-what chat in the near future).  Special thanks go out to Sara, Leo, Maxie, Cookie, Rex, Fido, Butch, Taffy, Lilly, Puppy, Watson, and DickDay, their owners, and understanding gardeners for all their help. - Murry

Murry: Bo, thank you on behalf of all your four-legged fans for granting us this, your first interview.  We're all wagging to know, what's it like being FIDOUS (FIrst Dog Of the United States)? 

Bo: It's pretty cool.  We live in a big house with a really big yard and lots of people visit so there are always new smells.

Murry: What are Sasha and Malia like, they look so sweet.

Bo: They are so wonderful, we play all kinds of games like fetch, and hide the treat.  And, they are so loving...

Murry: Do you sleep in bed with them?

Bo: Of course.  I go from bedroom to bedroom.  But I have to be careful to not wander into the hall.  A man wearing sunglasses and a thing in his ear always wants to check my dog tag.

Murry: I smelled that the girls like to dress you up.

Bo:  I'd prefer not talking about that.  I may want to run for office someday.

Murry: What's Michele Obama like?

Bo:  Really loving, and caring.   But tough.  You don't want to cross her.  But she doesn't hold a grudge.

Murry: There was that incident in the Lincoln Bedroom.

Bo: That wasn't my fault, Murry.  I smelled a cat.  It was my duty to leave a scent.  You know.  Sadly, Mrs. Obama did not believe me.  Even after I gave her my best sad look.

Murry: That's not fair, the Clinton's had a cat.  When you see President Clinton ask him if he ever had Socks in the Lincoln Bedroom.

Bo: I really like Mrs. Clinton.  Very nice to me.  You know she just broke her paw.

Murry: Please give her our best.  Does she have to wear one of those plastic cone collars?

Bo: I'll check.

Murry:  Now, for the big question, what's President Obama like?

Bo:  As you know, Murry he is the leader of all our packs.  Except when we go walking.  Then I'm the leader of the leader of the free world.  He has a problem keeping up.  I sent you a picture. (laughs)  He really is a great dad.  You should see how far he can throw a ball.

Murry: Just make sure he picks up your poop.  Don't want to give the Republicans anything to use against him.

Bo: Republicans.  Don't like them.  They smell bad, and are mean to my dad.  Ever watch Fox news?  I would of marked the TV but Mrs. Obama was in the room.

Murry: We know you are new to Washington but do you have any thoughts on politics?

Bo: Well my dad is working really hard on this health care thing for people. Maybe when he's done he can come up with a plan for all us four-legged folk.  Mandatory Veterinary Care. I need to talk to Uncle Teddy.

Murry: I like it.  You're really getting the hang of Washington.

Bo: I've got Kennedy bloodline.

Murry:  We can't thank you enough for spending time with us.

Bo:  It was my pleasure, Murry.  We'll have to do it again.  Now, if you can excuse me, I just heard there is a fly bothering my dad in the East Room.
