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!"

A rare good zinger from McCain, wonder if he will be issuing an apology in 10 minutes. Remember we Republicans must be nicey, nicey with Obama at all times...

I think the GOP is overplaying its hand a bit on this one. He ate dog - everyone knows it now. No ground to be gained. Just leave it there.

If McCain would have ridiculed O like that in ‘08, instead of just ripping his GOP opponents, perhaps he would be POTUS.

Nothing says “American born & bred” like eating a dog...

“take me out to the ball-game...”

I disagree. This is not your typical liberal phony moralistic outrage that the Dems parade over and over until people are sick of it. We are laughing at and mocking the sorry excuse of a President. It is hard to overdo that.

As absurd as the whole dog issue is, at least somebody finally hit back. Granted, it’s four years too late for McCain. If Romney is going to be the guy, he’d better be ready to hit back early, often, and below the belt. Every time he’s asked about the dog, his surrogates need to say “we didn’t eat the dog like Obama did”. Every time “Mormon” comes up, they need to be ready with Reverend Wright’s latest and greatest. Every single time, without hesitation, while the candidate himself focuses on the issues. We’ll see if they know how to play this game.

It could easily be overplayed -- but, not yet. If Obama had condemned the practice in his (ghost-written) autobiography; then no more need be said. However, when that book was written, Obama was a fully-responsible adult, and he gave no indication that he disapproved of the practice.

Obama says that “unlike some people, I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth.” However, he says nothing about a golden retriever...

Yes because we all know that Democrats/liberals/progressives never keep things like this going.

I’m tired of playing nice while they grind our noses in the dirt. The way to win is to play by the rules they play by. Being nice isn’t any good anymore.

I’m going to fight fire with fire. Keep up the battle as there is no winning in retreat.

Do you not know the back story - and how it was the Obama team and Axelrod that brought this back up? Apparently not.

Any time they ask a Mormon question, Romney should simply say to the Drive-By: “Interesting question, what was Democrat Harry Ried’s response to that question?”

As much as I enjoy dumping on McCain, Obama’s the one who authorized the dog attack on Romney without bothering to check his own autobiography. Another swift move from Barry the Sooooooper Genius.
