Bo's paw prints are all over Christmas at the White House this year.

A larger-than-life version of President Barack Obama's 2-year-old Portuguese water dog made of 40,000 twisted pipe cleaners is one of the first things tourists and other holiday guests will see when they visit the White House this month.

Bo also features prominently in the 400-pound, white chocolate-covered gingerbread White House. A version of the pooch, made from almond paste, sits on the grounds near a replica of Michelle Obama's fruit and vegetable garden.
BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW HAVING YOUR OWN PASTRY CHEF MAKING A 400-POUND GINGERBREAD HOUSE IS "simple!" :banghead:

Yeah, they might need a small break from those billion dollar + vacation in exotic locales/rounds of golf/etc. gifts they've been enjoying year round.

I do have to say that the gingerbread replica of the W.H. is a yearly tradition that pre-dates Lord Zero and Sharp Shelley. But yeah, it isn't "simple".

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
