Obama as a Boy Ate Dog Meat
ABC NEWS ^ | 4/17/2012 | Jake Tappert

Much has been made about Mitt Romney, in 1983, putting his family dog Seamus in a kennel on top of his roof and driving from Boston to Canada, with said canine Seamus making his displeasure known in a rather scatological way.

Democrats have signaled they have every intention of making sure the American people — especially dog-lovers — know the tale. In January, senior Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod tweeted a photo of the president and Bo in a car, with the snide observation: “@davidaxelrod: How loving owners transport their dogs.”

The Romney campaign signaled tonight that they are not about to cede any ground when it comes to a candidate’s odd past with man’s best friend.

And the Obama campaign shot back, with a spokesman suggesting the Romney team was attacking a child, since the Obama act in question took place when he was a kid.

The Daily Caller noted that in President Obama’s best-selling memoir, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,” the president recalls being fed dog meat as a young boy in Indonesia with his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro.

“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),” the president wrote. “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.”

After his mother married Soetoro, Obama lived in Indonesia from 1967 until 1971, from roughly the age of 6 through 10.

What was N.O.W.'s reaction to CBS reporter Lara Logan getting gang raped by a bunch of Islamist Egyptian thugs in a crowd in Cairo? (crickets).

Goes against their narrative. Those who want to destroy America have natural allies who in many respects are repugnant to the so called ideals the libs stand for.

Popular Indonesian dog-meat dishes are rica-rica, called variably as "RW" or rintek wuuk, rica-rica waung, guk-guk, and "B1". Locally on Java, there are several names for dishes made from dog meat, such as sengsu (tongseng asu), sate jamu, and kambing balap.

“I wonder how many libs have Obama’s books on their shelves as decoration without ever reading one page?”

I’d say it’s roughly the same number of Germans who had copies of “Mein Kampf” but also never read it. Good place to stash a few bucks; no one would ever think of looking there.

I thought Muslims believe that dogs are unclean. So Obama must have really ticked off Allah, by eating dog meat and them becoming an apostate to the Islamic faith into which he was born (Barrack Obama Sr. was a Muslim making his son one too)and in which he was raised.

I just had a funny thought. IF you “are what you eat”, then what does that make Mr. Obama?

I have eaten dog meat. Mine was tasty and very spicey. Now that I’ve done it, I don’t plan on eating it again.

Obama may have been a boy when he ate dog meat, but he was a man when the book was written. The wording shows no regret, no indication of childish curiosity. He is responsible for his words (or Ayers’ words published under his name.)

No, this isn’t a big deal, it is just us laughing at Obama.

And we all know how thin his skin is.

So I read all the twitter stuff and laughed and laughed and laughed, knowing in the long run this doesn’t amount to much.

But what makes it even more funny is the way the left is stewing about this.

That is the coolest website, LOL! Thank you!

So he wanted to be a zoo director. Rick Perry wanted to be a vet. Knew there was a reason I liked these guys.
