Obama needs a new joke writer. That was not good, not good at all. You just do not joke about eating dogs like that when you have in fact eaten a dog before. Creepy.
There is nothing inherently wrong about eating dog, or cat or whatever.... unless of course you are an Orthodox Jew or Muslim.
Lewis and Clark ate coyote on their excursion.
I have a problem, though with the Donner party.
Still, your point is well taken. The Donner folks laid pretty low afterwards.
And I did not understand why that joke was tied in with Sarah Palin. What is the joke about a hockey mom and a dog, and eating a dog.
I talked to a few people and nobody I talked to got the joke. All I can guess is that it’s an unprintable suggestion that he would rather eat a dog than Sarah Palin? (unprintable, use your imagination)
But if that’s what the joke was, exactly why is that somehow funny??????
Those here saying that Obama fell flat or didn't get some laughs are in denial. The Hockey Mom joke had the room laughing.
When we let our dislike of Obama get in the way of our objectivity, we are acting the same as his Sycophants.
The truth is we have nearly 50% of the Electorate that would Vote for Obama even if there was Video showing him drowning Kittens and Barbecuing a Pug. We are screwed, whether Romney is the Republican Candidate or not.
