“The dog-eating didn’t help.”

No, it didn't. It's not just disgust at the idea of eating Man's Best Friend, either. It's the un-Americanness of it. We don't eat dogs, but many foreigners do. So Obama, not content merely to eat the dog, elects to rub our noses in it. I.e.: he could have asked Bill Ayers not to include it, but he obviously wanted it prominently displayed in his bio. It's O’s way of saying, in so many words, ‘Culturally, I'm not an American—and I'm proud of that’.

It's the kind of thing that rubs people the wrong way. Plus, he's been letting his anger show too much of late. Some pollster or other once said, ‘People don't want an angry man in their living room’. Obama, surrounded by his shrunken, sycophantic Chicago coterie, has no idea his anger, constant attacks and constant blaming are not playing well. He probably reads DU, sees some favorable comments, and thinks he's on a roll.

I heard Dick Morris on the radio yesterday. He said historically people haven't been enthused about Obama’s policies, but they've liked Obama personally. Morris says that has just upended, and w’in the past mo people are starting to like Obama himself even less than his policies. Sure looks like Obama is riding for a fall. Maybe the USA at large isn't just Chicago on a bigger scale after all.

I think 0mugabe didn’t even eat dogs. I think Ayers made it up to make him sound exotic and third world, and to rub out noses in it. Indonesia is a Muslim country and Muslims don’t eat dogs; probably it’s done some places in Indonesia, but not commonly (read that on FR some where). In other SE Asian countries like the PI, it is much more common.
