Come on, it's funny. Team Obama makes an issue of Romney's dog transportation techniques, hoping to score some cheap points--and this includes Axelrod, whose status as an Obama surrogate is not in dispute--and it blows up in their face and instead they are the ones who have the cheap points scored upon them. The biter, bit. If you have eaten dog, you simply don't have standing to criticize someone for transporting a dog in allegedly insufficient comfort. "In hindsight, a chilling photo." That's funny stuff.


Yes, there is an opportunity for humor. But, Romney was an adult when he decided to drive to Canada with his dog on the roof of his car. Obama was a child between the ages of 6 and 10 when he was served dog meat by his step-father. One action reflects on judgement, the other on life experiences. That Republicans seem to think that Romney's adult decision-making is comparable to Obama's childhood experience is telling.

If we are now going to make political hay out of the youth experiences of the candidates, I can't wait to start discussing Romney's experience as a missionary in France, during which time he lived in a 19th century palace.


In politics, if you are explaining, you are losing, Mr. Steele. No amount of spin will defuse the visceral impact of dog eating, nor the fact that Team Obama got one-upped this time. As I said upthread, Obama will have better days.


No amount of self-delusion will save you from your flip flopping, gaffe-prone former liberal governor of Massachusetts. Desperate, desperate, desperate. I can't wait to find out what other things these candidates did when they were six.


YOU MAD? Fight stupid attacks (vacation with dog on roof) with stupid facts (Obama ate dog)


In order to stop the Romney story, you should talk to Fox and Newt Gingrich. Both seemed to get plenty of mileage out of that story. Gingrich even ran an attack ad about it.

With such a love of guns, I guess it's no surprise which party is so good at shooting itself in the foot.

The Republicans think they can win the people-who-base-their-votes-on-what-the-candidate-ate-as-a-child vote. They have given up on Hispanics, women, African-Americans and the college-educated. But, they've got this demographic nailed. Good luck in the election, guys.

Ha ha, I didn't see any blowing up in anyone's face! Uh, yeah, a kid eating dog meat served to him by his dad. As opposed to a dad putting a dog on the roof. Which one's the grown up? In fact, I'm astonished Team Romney pulled this out. Does he really want to look like he's picking on a 10 year old?!! Unbelievable!

Yeah, if you want to embarrass your party, go ahead and do that. Apparently your party has no idea what it wants to run on anymore.

This came from Obama's book, "Dreams of My Father." This is what it says:

"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) ... 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."

Eating dog meat had nothing to do with being black, but with being in Indonesia and having an Indonesian stepfather.

I'm sorry for you...maybe try and get out more?


I would not eat dog. At age 6-10 I was more than capable of saying NO. That being said some people/groups do not have the same aversion to eating dog. My little small world is the USA and if you don't like the common culture here fell free to leave. Note Obama may be black but he sure has he11 no longer seems AA to me. If I served dog to AA friends I'd get a huge WTF even out of elderly church ladies. O the equivalent thereof.
