amacleod03 commented on the word mutt
At his first news conference after his election as President, Barack Obama, referred to himself as a mutt when asked what kind of dog his daughters were getting:
With respect to the dog, this is a major issue. We have…we have two criteria that have to be reconciled. One is that Malia is allergic, so it has to be hypo-allergenic. There are a number of breeds that are hypo-allergenic. On the other hand, our preference would be to get a shelter dog. But obviously, a lot of shelter dogs are mutts, like me.
