No matter your thoughts on Joe Scarborough, this is a segment you will likely enjoy.
On Wednesday, panel member Willie Geist set his sights on Mitt Romney’s infamous dog-on-the-roof story for his segment “News You Can’t Use.” But before you go rolling your eyes thinking it’s just another anti-Romney piece in the media, just wait: Geist also introduced a far less known story about Obama’s own dog controversy. You remember, the time he admitted to eating dog.
Yes, Obama has eaten dog and admitted to it. In fact, the Daily Caller found it in Obama’s book, “Dreams From My Father”:
“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). 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.” [Emphasis added]
And yes, there’s audio of Obama reading it:
The news has sparked a twitter war of sorts between the Romney and Obama camps, especially after David Axelrod famously tweeted a picture of Obama and his dog a few months ago taking a shot at Romney and saying, “How loving owners transport their dogs.” ABC’s Jake Tapper explains:
The discovery that the president had eaten dog meat prompted wise-cracks on twitter (hashtag — #ObamaDogRecipes) and this tweet from Romney strategist Eric Fehrstrom, who re-tweeted Axelrod’s original message with a different take on the picture of the president and Bo.
“@EricFehrn: In hindsight, a chilling photo,” he wrote.
Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt tweeted in response: “@BenLaBolt What’s the next attack @EricFerhn and the RNC will surface on a 6-10 year old?”
With the segment already fairly whacky at this point, Scarbourough lost it after Geist read the tweets:
By the way, the Daily Caller is having a lot of fun with news. In fact, they’ve even created some graphics and clever tag lines.

Ah, the Cretin-in-Chief brings proof to the phrase “You are what you eat.”
Sounds like obama was also admitting to practicing a “form” of islam.
So I could say in Arabic to BO, “Ya kalb!” which means “You dog!” and it would be true! LOL! That insult is one of the worst you can say to an Arab Muzzie since dogs are considered unclean.
How about:
Death by Chocolate Lab?
Clifford Pot Pie?
Snoopy Surprise?
Everybody’s focused on the entrees and forgetting the side dishes...like Collieflower and Brussels Griffon sprouts.
So for a mooselimb, is it better to be a son of a bitch or to eat a bitch? Just axing?
ROFLMAO!!!
This reminds me, I haven’t seen the White House dog lately.
My sides hurt!
First they came for the dogs. I said nothing because I was a dolphin.
LOL
First evidence I have seen that anyone has read any of Obama’s books.
Anybody remember that scene from Blade Runner, in which Harrison Ford is interviewing that replicant (played by Sean Young) and says the following (paraphrased):
“You are invited to a dinner party, and the entree is boiled dog...”
PING!
tmdjoseph Finally finished translating “Dreams of My Father”. It’s a cookbook! It’s a cookbook!!!!!
