Barack Obama upstaged by scurrying rodent | In the midst of his battle with Wall Street, US President Barack Obama was upstaged - by a mystery rodent. Obama had
just begun a Rose Garden statement on his financial overhaul when suddenly, out
of nowhere, a rodent scurried straight past the gray podium with the presidential
seal. "I would partially rule out rat," The Telegraph quoted Russell Link, a wildlife
biologist who works for the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife,
as saying. "That's due to the lack of a tail that is typically equal to body length."
"My suspicion is it's a vole, commonly called a 'meadow mouse' out our way," he
said, after viewing a photograph. This is not the first time a rodent has been
sighted around the White House, and it won't be the last. Washington is, after
all built, along a river, on what used to be a malarial swamp. |
