It was a lot better than HBO’s hyped “Girls,” which was morose.

I have to admit I totally missed this story - so did he just mention it in an interview or something?

[xsmommy]

i liked it, not gonna lie ; )

[xsmommy]

someone found it in his autobiography, Lolo Soetero fed them weird foods over there apparently. so it’s in his own words that he ate dog, no one is making this up. It’s not a huge deal, but it does make for hilarity!

“@iowahawkblog: George Washington: chopped down cherry tree. Barack Obama: chowed down on bark.”

I am most honored by the special commendation you have bestowed upon me and have decided to award myself 1st prize of this limited special edition "No Dog-Meat Eaters in the White House" button to wear as proud jingoistic American patriot anti-Obama nemesis that I am.

[SoothingDave]

Lolo couldn’t afford the prime cuts, cause Obama reported the dog meat as “tough.”

I noticed it on Twitter yesterday that in one of O's books ......he said he ate dog meat...the left was harping on Seamus's infamous ride on the Romney vacation, the right was starting to tweet back...I got home from the station last night and #ObamaDogRecipes was trending on Twitter. I had to join the fun and stayed up too late. I hadn't laughed so hard while on Twitter ever.

[tioga]

Romney takes his dog on vacation, Obama takes his dog to the butcher.

[tioga]

have you tried Betty Cocker’s Hound Cake recipe?

[xsmommy]

RNC needs to get a feature on the Obama dog eating on this channel!

[xsmommy]

dang where did my link go?? I said, Jules and Chan have asked for a TV for their room. and that the RNC needs to get the dog-eating story on this channel.

[xsmommy]

i am writhing in the morass of a brief due next week, so i haven’t been able to fully participate in this funfest. has there been a Cavalier recipe yet???

[tioga]

Iowahawk just coined Dogflap. Perfect.

[tioga]

not that I noticed...of course MY dog was featured a lot...like Filet Bichon

[tioga]

[NeoCaveman]

NO dog ate my homework as an excuse today

Dang!

[NeoCaveman]

I liked Jake Tapper’s one: for breakfast a Great Danish.

[tioga]
