If you read my post carefully, that is exactly what I said. He’s not responsible for his early upbringing. That upbringing will have lasting consequences. However, as a grownup, no matter what the upbringing, he’s still responsible for everything he does, and his upbringing would make him not one of us.
How old was your kiddo? Obama’s dog tasting days were in the ballpark of six to ten years old from what I have read online. When I was about that age, I refused to eat venison and rabbit.
However, I don’t blame Obama for eating dog as a kid. What does surprise me, however, is the way he seems to embrace the experience and uses it to burnish that exotic chic image his followers find so attractive. I wish the media would have at least asked him about that episode when the first family acquired Bo, even if it was only to ask “Given your unusual dietary habits as a child, do you think that maybe cat ownership might be a better fit for you and your family.”
Bush made me do it.
I hear ya.

Yeah, but squirrel is a traditional staple of our patriotic ancestors. In the USA, eating dog has always been about on par with cannibalism. If you’ve eaten dog, and brush it off as normal or merely odd, you’re not one of US.
LOL!!!
LOL!!
I think we’re in agreement.
Hey gang, we’re famous!
Our forebears were certainly as legitimately American as any of the riffraff belched out by Europe.
I spent some time with a friend’s chihuahua last week, and I have to say, it did have some tasty looking little drumstick legs.
LOL!
Run, Snoopy, ruuunnnn!!
****I’m sorry. Eating dogmeat is foreign to modern Western culture. I’m standing by what I said.****
On their trip of discovery, Lewis and Clark fed their men on dog meat. They even found it better than horse meat.
This refusal to eat dogs is indeed a modern phenomenon. In an earlier time Americans thought of them as little walking “refrigerators” who could always be depended on for a good meal.
LOL!
A cottage industry of these pics has sprung up. Before long we’ll see t-shirts, dog bowls, mugs, and all kinds of stuff.
Isn’t capitalism great ?
That was then and this is now.
We simply don’t do that anymore in western civilization.
