"“It seems desperate for the Romney campaign to bring up something that happened to Obama when he was 10 years old"

"Happened to"????? What, did his parents tie him to a chair and force it down his throat???

Some kids are apparently brought up with more of a moral compass and a sense of what is right and wrong than Obama was. I think the chances that I could have gotten my kid to eat dog meat at the age of 10 are about as close to zero as you can possibly get.

Of course. You are an American living in America. Pets are not eaten. I doubt I could make myself eat dog either, unless I was starving.

In some parts of the world (e.g. Korea) dogs are not necessarily pets, but dinner.

There used to be a gif of a can of "Dog Penis Soup" that some Freeper used to post sometimes.

I don’t blame Obama for eating dog as a boy, under the influence of his Indonesian stepdad. I probably would have done the same thing in his situation.

That said, the fact that Obama was so deeply influenced by cultures totally foreign to and in many ways hostile to American culture make such a person unfit to be POTUS. If you grow up eating dog, you are not really what the founders where looking for when they insisted on natural born citizens as POTUS.

If he really is a natural born citizen (and I’m not sure he is), it is only in the most technical sense.

There are many Amercians out there who are legally not NBCs, but have been entirely, or almost entirely influenced by American culture and are totally loyal to America. While such individuals cannot be President, becasue we must uphold the Constitution, they wouldn’t be threats to our nation and its values and principles, the way Obama is.
