Obama as a Boy Ate Dog Meat
ABC NEWS ^ | 4/17/2012 | Jake Tappert

Posted on 04/17/2012 10:17:28 PM PDT by JRochelle

Much has been made about Mitt Romney, in 1983, putting his family dog Seamus in a kennel on top of his roof and driving from Boston to Canada, with said canine Seamus making his displeasure known in a rather scatological way.

Democrats have signaled they have every intention of making sure the American people — especially dog-lovers — know the tale. In January, senior Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod tweeted a photo of the president and Bo in a car, with the snide observation: “@davidaxelrod: How loving owners transport their dogs.”

The Romney campaign signaled tonight that they are not about to cede any ground when it comes to a candidate’s odd past with man’s best friend.

And the Obama campaign shot back, with a spokesman suggesting the Romney team was attacking a child, since the Obama act in question took place when he was a kid.

The Daily Caller noted that in President Obama’s best-selling memoir, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,” the president recalls being fed dog meat as a young boy in Indonesia with his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro.

“With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy),” the president wrote. “Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.”

After his mother married Soetoro, Obama lived in Indonesia from 1967 until 1971, from roughly the age of 6 through 10.

I’ve heard that that’s not the worst thing O’blamer has had in his mouth.

Holy pooch. Um, thanks for sending me to twitter. Reading them at 4 am in the dark while feeding babe and trying not to crack up.

“why did Mitt Romney put his dog on his car?”

“so Obama wouldn’t eat him”

And the recipes... Sooo funny.

The right chasing these BS issues like eating dog, war on moms, war on women, ho’s in Columbia, etc, is just playing into Obama’s hand. It serves him well to talk about anything but the economy, gas prices, debt, deficit spending; the list goes on.

"Newt knows how to treat snakes right!"

That's a beautiful snake. The Newtster seems to have a fondness for animals (good quality, in my book).

Don't go here LINK http://saveindonesiadogs.weebly.com/stop-dog-meat-trade.html if you love dogs, or are shocked at such photos of dog meat preparation in Indonesia, but it is a fact, and I would say they definitely use this in the General if the Democrats start to make any noise about it.

People wearing these T shirts to Obama rallies (be ready for SEIU thugs though), would be a blast, too!
