Well, McGrath, you've got a point there, about Americans today being hypervigilant about "pedophilia," "child abuse," "sex offenses," etc.   But I'd say it'd be truly stupid, politically, for Barack or any other politician to be video'd caressing the genital region of a puppy or the swollen mammaries of a mama dog.    Some things are just bound to be taken the wrong way and held against you in (the) court (of public opinion).
