Was appalled when I first heard this and then thought maybe I should keep an open mind - maybe it did work out okay for the dog (even though I would never have done that - my dogs stay home with a housesitter when we leave town because it protects the house from being burglarized). But I gotta say this - when my dogs see us packing for a trip, they will do anything to get in that car and avoid being left behind. Ann Romney saying that the dog got excited when it saw the carrier - how does she know that the dog just didn't want them to leave? That's what my dogs would be thinking. The more they try to explain this the worse it gets.Anonymous wrote:jsteele wrote:Obama's Indonesian step-father served it to him. Obama lived in Indonesia between the ages of 6 and 10.

exactly, and not even worth mentioning as a comparison to a grown man who should know better (Willard Romney) putting his own dog on the frickin' roof of the car for a long trip (and now his wife, who wants us to believe she's more "normal" than Willard, agrees that the dog loved it?)...
I would not eat dog. At age 6-10 I was more than capable of saying NO.

I'm guessing many of you who are posting this have never left your little, small worlds here in the US of A.
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.

So sad that this is the most exciting campaign event of the year for you. The primary must have felt like the Bataan Death March. In a sweater vest.Anonymous wrote:Mr president... You are what you eat.

Don't get photo'd eating beagle and lox!
Mr president...... Start packing!

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.
this is a good one
Obama is now referring to Romney putting the dog on the roof as Meals on Wheels.[/quote]
Ha ha ha
