Looks like Bo knows

How to manipulate the press when his Commander in Chief is flying off to the Middle East, that is.

This report from ABC News has the first dog attacking a microphone cover, taunting with a tennis ball and, always effective, offering its belly to be scratched.

Of course, Republican spinmeisters will say Bo "rolled over" in its demands to play fetch, but truly a belly rub is sometimes just a belly rub.

One could suggest Harry Reid and Nancy Polesi try the tactic during negotiations, but I believe Sen. David Vitter, R-La., already tried that.

This Just In: A video clip posted on the Huffington Post shows Bo shaking the president's hand in front of NBC News's Brian Williams and Michele Obama.
