“It seems desperate for the Romney campaign to bring up something that happened to Obama when he was 10 years old, not preparing his own meals, in a country where eating dog meat probably isn’t all that unusual as if it compares in any way to Romney, as a 36-year old adult, in America, making the conscious decision to strap his family pet to the roof of a car for a 12-hour drive, and leaving it up there even after it got sick.”…
“If President Obama had made the conscious decision to eat dog meat as a 36-year old adult, in America, claimed the dog liked being eaten, and still claimed he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, the Romney campaign would have a point and my pack would be on the president like a pack of wild, well….dogs,” Crider wrote. “But that isn’t what happened.”

i’m sure it was started by, the romney put his dog in kennel on top of the car story. So this should end pretty quick now. i like it, romney team is ready for the bummer , i think Andrew Breitbar would approve. Right back at them to stop the bull quick. Maybe this year we won’t be trampled on , so tired of republicans saying that we have to be above the fray and be polite.
It is pretty funny , one line i saw earlier on another blog was , Well romney takes his dog on vacation and obama eats his . another guy was wondering if moochell was going to add dog to her” get moving ” menu.
Joe scarborough almost wet himself this a.m. because he was laughing so hard -they were showing pictures of obama with his pet dog. Pet dog. dogs are friends not food .
Romney strapped his dog to the roof of his car. Obama rubbed his dog against the roof of his mouth.
Obama’s next book will be “50 Ways to Wok a Dog.”
Look, I love that there’s humor in this.
But it is also diversion.
Obama’s own 1995 autobiography had this passage in the second chapter:
Obama is here admitting that the form of Islam his step-dad followed was an amalgam of both Islam and Hindi.
There are many Muslims ready to kill their ”fellow” Muslims for less of an apostasy than that!
The real reason Obama was introduced to such foods AWAY from the dinner table was sexist: O’s step-dad didn’t want his own wife to sample dog, snake, grasshopper or, especially tiger,” lest she gain some of the animals’ attributes.
This is only a diversion to the extent it is OK while Romney’s dog story hurts his numbers.
That’s just weird.
Eating dog is FAR worse than traveling with one in the back of the truck, on top of the car or leaning out a window.
They say it isn’t ‘fair’ to bring up this dog eating from over 30 years ago about barry, but it is quite fair to bring up something that happened over 30 years ago with Romney and his dog. All is fair in love and war, and this is war
Come to think, I actually haven’t seen any pictures of Bo lately . . .
