When did we descend to 'dog bites campaign'?
Post Bulletin ^ | Apr 25, 2012 | Kathleen Parker

I think it is fair to say that the shark has been permanently displaced by the dog.

When scriptwriters have run out of mustard, the show hasn't "jumped the shark," as we've been saying since the Fonz literally jumped a shark while water-skiing. These days, the political show has eaten the dog.

Yes, it has come to this.

It's the most pivotal presidential race in human history (staying true to our apocalyptic tendencies), and we're debating which candidate cares most about dogs. I did my best in a previous column to illustrate the silliness of the Obama campaign's focus on a 30-year-old Romney/dog travel episode, but, alas, I misjudged our capacity for the absurd.

As I was hitting "send," the Romney campaign was touting an anecdote from Barack Obama's memoir in which he mentions having once consumed dog meat. ...

I looked for some new pictures and found this! It is hysterical by itself!


Even President Barack Obama’s Dog Has His Own Comic Book

You’ve probably heard of Superman’s dog, Krypto. You may have even heard of Batman’s Dog, Ace the Bat-Hound. Now, get ready for the latest canine sensation in comic books. Yes, President Barack Obama’s dog Bo is getting his own comic book. In a weird kind of way it makes sense. Both President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have already had their own comic books. One might expect the Obama children to be next to get their own comic book, but after the uproar over the beanie babies of the Obama children, the kids are likely off-limits....

kathleen parker is nothing but a left wing gop/e whore who cannot write, cannot think and attacks real Conservative leaders like Sarah Palin. She is in the same league as peggy noonan and chrissy matthews.

Here’s some commentary on the state of Presidential campaigns, specifically the current one.

There is a lot of Bo junk online.

This pic looks like a parody of Michelle's campaign:

That dog isn't moving anywhere if he can help it.

Bo doesn't quite look like a real dog, though.

Maybe he's a midget Secret Service agent in a chia pet suit or maybe a Japanese robot dog.

The Obama Dog, Hank's Haute Dogs

The Obama Dog, a special that hot dog connoisseur Henry Adaniya crafted for the First Family's holiday vacation in the islands, is a Chicago dog with Portuguese [DOG Meat] sausage swapped in for the traditional Vienna Beef. Other than the sausage swap, everything is tradition, right down to the sprinkling of celery salt. Good stuff! [woof, woof]

We are not weary of real issues.. we don't accept dogs as a substitute presidential campaign issue.

Why in the days of JFK the presidential issues were monetary and fiscal preferences and the Obama White House makes dogs in a kennel on the car roof the presidential campaign issue?

The whole lot of the Obama Administration are aged 1960s campus radicals (spoiled brats) and their bratty issue including the President. They are stuck on campus.

But they are far from harmless brats.. some are indeed psycho dangerous. All are otherwise dangerous egoists dedicated to changing America to their benefit, ideological and personal.

Take Obama-appointed Region 6 EPA Administrator Al Armendariz.. please!

His philosophy of enforcement is “... kind of like how the Romans used to conquer little villages in the Mediterranean. They’d go into a little Turkish town somewhere, they’d find the first five guys they saw and they’d crucify them.” after that the town was easy to govern.

How can the Obama White House get away with it?

Easy. The media are also aged 1960s campus radicals (spoiled brats) and their bratty issue. They are stuck on campus.

In fact, aged 1960s campus radicals (spoiled brats) and their bratty issue are arguably the Establishment.

What's the surprising part? It's just another partisan media shill carrying water for Zero and his campaign.

It happened when the followers of Saul Alinsky entered the political arena with his ideas.
