Gold was the cost to get into President George W. Bush’s final family holiday doggie video from the White House.
Olympic gold medalists Mi- chael Phelps and Nastia Liukin guest star in the “Barney Cam” Christmas greeting. The first family’s Scottish terrier gets sent by the family to decorate the White House with holiday decorations before retiring for a nap and imagining himself as an athlete. Barney is shown in cutout animation as an Olympic vaulter, swimmer and synchronized diver with fellow terrier Miss Beazley. He also dreams of sinking the final putt to secure the Ryder Cup, with the U.S. team chanting “Barney! Barney!”
After a wake-up from the President (“We’re sprinting to the finish, not napping to the finish”), Barney gets a “10” score from Liukin.
Phelps tells Barney: “I’m glad the decorations are finally coming together and you’re using my favorite color, gold.”
