A couple of days ago, Obama-campaign top dog David Axelrod threw in the towel on the dog war. “I thought it was a little absurd to talk about what the president had done as a ten-year-old boy,” he sniffed to MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell, which is as near as the suddenly sheepish attack dog will ever get to conceding that Barack Obama is the first dog-eating president in the history of the republic. For those coming late to the feud, the Democrats started it, assiduously promoting accounts of a 1983 Romney vacation to Canada in which the family pooch Seamus rode on the roof of the car. Axelrod and the boys thought they could have some sport with this, and their poodles in the media eagerly played along. The New York Times columnist Gail Collins alone has referred to it dozens of times.
And then Jim Treacher, the sharp-eyed wag of the Daily Caller, uncovered this passage from Chapter Two of Obama’s bestselling but apparently largely unread memoir Dreams from My Father, in which the author recalls childhood meals with his stepfather Lolo Soetoro:
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.

I have some kids like that. I tell them they’ll grow up to be Democrats if they don’t shape up!
That’s a good one .... will have to borrow that!
I’ve used a similar theme when I catch one whining....”oh geeeeez, you sound like a liberal! Why don’t ya just go join the occupy crowd?”
I once told Pat, “Stop it, you’re acting like a liberal!” and he said, “Well, it’s not MY fault!”
HA! Perfect!!!!
Quit judging me mawwwwm!!! I’m only human! Why do you expect me to be so perfect all the time?
Whhhhaaaaaa....
I read Dreams early on in the 2008 primary season, before it was obvious that Obama would win out over Hillary. I can truthfully say that nothing that has happened since has been much of a surprise.
I should post a few pictures of the books in the cabinetry here in the den. Your first para is pretty spot on. More of same in the upstairs home office and the basement workshop.
On that note, do a search on something like “Middle East consanguinity”. There are a lot of scholarly papers and studies on the subject. It’s an important part of the problems in that region.
Oh, blarg, not yours, too! We’re doomed ...
EXACTLY!!!
He may as well have had blinking neon MARXIST signs on the cover.
Good grief!
Well they are children - it’s just that some actually grow out of that phase and become republicans ;)
Don't have to go that far - just take a look at what happened to the Hapsburgs; all those uncle-niece marriages took a toll.
“Charles II’s genome was actually more homozygous than that of an average child whose parents are siblings.” — from Wikipedia about the last Hapsburg ruler of Spain.
