John McCain took a swipe at President Obama on Twitter Thursday afternoon, referencing a story about Obama eating dog meat as a child.
McCain posted a picture from November 2010 of his son Jimmy's bulldog, Apollo, on Twitter, with the following quip:
"Good pic of my son Jimmy's bulldog, Apollo - I'm sorry Mr. President, he's not on the menu!"

Every one knows he ate larrysinclair and did crack cocaine but do they care?
I’ll have the Fettuccine al Fido...
Respectfully disagree. The story is not about Obama eating dog, but rather about the media and the fact that we are only just discussing this now in 2012 after he has been POTUS for three years. News media has discussed Romney’s dog-on-roof story since at least 2007. It resurfaced again in Jan 2012 when Axelrod tweeted about it. Since that time, the story has circulated in print, broadcast, and social media...It was brought up again this week by Diane Sawyer.
Jim Treacher at DailyCaller this week unearthed the nugget that Obama wrote about eating dog in “Dreams From My Father,” written in 1995. That nugget was hiding in plain sight but never discussed in the media. Why not? If not during 2008 campaign, why not when the Obama family acquired Bo, the family dog.
Liberal media, that’s why. That’s the real story here, and that’s the direction toward which the convo on our end ought to turn.
It's all just a part of the political propaganda game.
The left is furiously at work trying to come up with some way to spin the mentioning of Obama's eating of dog meat as racist.
Until they manage to come up with something that sways their focus group, this is a good response for the Romney camp to use to rebut the BS "kennel on the roof" attack.
LOL... that’s a good one.
I’m with you. This is the Great White Whale we have all been waiting for. This dog eating thing is going to stick. It’s simple and makes the point that others have tried on other issues, that Obama is not the mainstream. This is better than 10 birth certificates and 5 Rev Wrights. People get this without fear of being called a racist. Even he’s own people have to cringe on this one.
Remember Michael Vick. Vick could have gunned down 6 people and not got the reaction he got for killing dogs. That’s why this one is going to stick. Better yet, the information comes from his own mouth. He can’t use the Daryl Strawberry “ I was misquoted in my autobiography” excuse.
