2:09 CST: [Sean] Lynn Sweet and Obama joke about her injury (which apparently took place when she was running to his speech in Grant Park), then she asks about what kind of dog Obama's going to buy, which Presidents he's spoken to, and where his girls will go to school. Obama jokes he's only talked to "living" presidents, and it's not a "Nancy Reagan type seance situation." But has re-read Lincoln. Dog is very important, Obama says, a "major issue." —fivethirtyeight.com
I hope they get a corgi.

Update: A more complete transcript reports that Malia is allergic, so the First Dog will have to be hypoallergenic. Corgis shed prodigiously and continuously, so I guess they are out of competition.
