A corgi in the White House could utilize the Corgi Mind-Control Trick, staring unblinking into the eyes of powerful yet impressionable minds, speaking Truth to Power:

"Treat others as you'd like to be treated. Don't hurt people, or animals, or anything. The strong must protect the weak, not oppress them. Prosperity must be shared. Love, not wealth, brings happiness. Settle disputes peacefully and fairly; no fighting. Heal the sick. Teach the children. Love one another. Play a lot. Pet everybody. Feed the hungry (present company especially). Throw the tennis ball."

Really, I've had enough of Rich White Men in Suits. Old Chinese proverb: "The only man you can safely make emperor is the guy who won't take the job." The whole world is falling apart; it's time to let somebody with fur run the show.

Lord, help me to become the person my dog thinks I am.

I so agree with the shedding. I can honestly say I don't have one piece of clothing without corgi hair on it, no matter how much I use the roller. I would feel bad if Obama had an important meeting and found out his backside was covered in hair. (And yes I have been using the furminator but since we turned the heat on he seems to think it is summer and hair just flies everywhere)...

I want him to get a rottie or an american pit bull terrier.
Pick a dog who needs the good PR! Fight BSL from the top down.

Unless the Obama family thoroughly enjoys constantly telling a dog to not do something over and over again, they should probably not get a corgi.
I use the phrase "Atlas, down!" probably 200 times a day. He listens every time, and then 2 seconds later he's trying to get something off the counter/table.

Haha, it would be quite comical to see a corgi frapping around in the White House.

Other reasons:

6. Nothing softens up international negotiators like a Corgi testing how much begging is required to get a treat. Example: "We believe the West Bank belongs to- awwwwww, whooza good boy den? We'll give YOU the West Bank, won't we?" Problem solved.

7. Forget herding Congress- a Corgi could herd the entire UN with ease!
