* Obama ate a dog. I’m thinking this will be the news story for a little while, especially after Obama’s campaign has gone after Romney for strapping a dog to the top of his car. They figured it would actually hurt Romney because people like dogs so much. So how will people react to Obama eating a dog?
Strangely, this revelation was out in the open in one of Obama’s memoirs, it was just up to Jim Treacher to find it as it’s not like the MSM is going to notice little details like that on someone who isn’t a Republican. A member of the Romney campaign has already made a joke about it (playing off a joke David Axelrod made implying Romney doesn’t care about dogs). The Obama campaign response was that he was a kid when he ate the dog. So there’s the defense: “Obama 2012: It’s been a while since he last ate a dog.”
I kind of humored myself out on this last night when I first heard of it, so make sure to check out my Random Thoughts on it. I’m sure I’ll come up with more jokes soon, though. I mean, come on, he ate a dog.
* The Obama campaign is planning to use “trust” as a campaign buzzword. I’m not sure that will work since right now a lot of people are thinking about how they wouldn’t trust him with walking Fido.
* See, I told you.
* Michelle Obama said about her husband, “This president has brought us out of the dark and into the light.” Something about Obama eating a dog goes here.
* The shuttle Discovery flew around DC on the back of a Boeing 747. Once, a long time ago, America could get men into space, and now all NASA can do is give piggy back rides. The little kid I was in the 80s reading about space would be pretty depressed to hear what actually happened with our space program in the coming decades.
Obama very much wants to revive our space program… though it’s mainly because he thinks Laika is still up there. Mmm… free dog meat.
* Basil sent me this neat link. Apparently in front of Japanese shopping mall, they built a full size Gundam robot statue. That sure beats some boring bronze statue of a guy on a horse. Also, Obama ate a dog.
* Wisdom of the Day from James Taranto:
This is what happens when you elect someone president without properly vetting him.
Clinton 1996: Wag the Dog
Obama 2012: Wagyu Dog
Michelle Obama said about her husband, “This president has brought us out of the dark and into the light.” Something about Obama eating a dog goes here… You can’t eat a dog in the dark.
obama likes dogs. first he ate one, then he married one.
Every dog has his day … in Obama’s salad!
So, the Republican opposition research team has an opponent that was never raised in the United States, instead was raised in Kenya to hate America. Never played baseball and can’t even throw a ball, doesn’t know how to bowl, ate dog and God knows what else that American kids know better than to put in their mouths, never went to an American school, instead studied in Muslim schools in Africa. And, they’re struggling to combat the Obama campaign’s claim that Romney doesn’t have much in common with the average American? Wow…just, wow.

“We are not a black labrador eating America, and we are not a yellow labrador eating America…we a United Dog Eating States of America!”
Out of the dark and into the light?! RAAACIST!!1!!!1!
No more back alley kaygogi wagons for our daughters!
I thought “BO” (his dog) was looking a little plump these days.
Keep your eye on BO.
(Which would make it a “BO-eat-BO” world, I guess. BTW, Frank, your post made me laugh repeatedly. I mean I think my neighbors at 700′ might have heard me.)
The Obama motorcade was circling the local Petsmart. They could not find the drive-thru
Basil sent a link?
Well, say “Hi” to Basil for us and tell him to eat more grits and lay off the eggs.
Obama’s favorite canned meat isn’t Spam. It’s Rin-Tin-in-a-Tin.
There is more than one way to skin a cat but only The One way to eat a dog. And why he hates England so much? He found out that they use beef, BEEF!!! in their Yorkshire Pudding.
“This president has brought us out of the dark and into the light.”
Well it damn sure wasn’t by using a guide dog, now was it?

This dog tastes like chicken! – President Obama
Teacher: Barack, where’s your homework? And don’t tell me your dog ate it!
Little Barack: Dont’ worry, I didn’t do my homework and I ate the dog.
Reading your note about the Gundam robot statue in Japan reminds me of one of the most popular meeting places in Tokyo, outside of Shibuya Station….it’s a statue of a dog….and by the way, this dare-I-say shaggy-dog story about Our Great Leader puts a new gloss on Obama’s earlier whine that he’s treated like a dog….could he have been thinking of a tasty snack of schnauzer at the time?
without properly “vetting” him. I get it! Another dog joke?
