You must ask the _resident of the white house just how good dog meat tastes!
Also, tell those demonstrators, “don’t knock it unless you have tried it”.

I didn't know Obama was also Korean.
I remember reports that before the Seoul Olympics, the government closed down most roadside dog stands as it would upset visitors to see them.

Obummer is heading there for a Campaign visit. Jay Carney said they had a special dinner for him there.

Phillipinos eat dog on a regular basis. It is considered a delicacy.
You don’t want to know how they “cook” it.
