DOGGIE STYLE

Sunday, May 6th, 2012 | Uncategorized

Did you know that Barack Obama once ate a dog?  As Paul HARRRRRVVV-ey used to say, “It’s true.”  In the New York Times, Gail Collins even admitted it.

No word yet on whether the President and his composite girlfriend ever had dinner at a restaurant that served dog.

this entire dog meme is just a distraction from the crap that is really important. Is this the best our “We-Need-Freedom-of-the-Press-Because-the-American-People-Have-a-Right-to-Know” J-school graduates can do?

Let’s set them to flipping burgers, if they can manage that. It is obvious they do not care one rosy rat’s rear about keeping the electorate informed about what is really happening.

Try this link on for size and see if you care about whether the President ever ate dog meat some kind in his life.

The press obviously thinks we are stupid cretins.

Of course the election will not be determined by dog eating jokes, Allen, but I have to admit I’ve been enjoying the moment. The composite girlfriend turns out to be not much like any actual girlfriend, but she bears a strange resemblance to Bill Ayers’ dead bomber girlfriend.

One of the president’s real girlfriends said that when she told him she loved him, he said, “Thank you.”
Hey, it’s a lot better than “Who wouldn’t?”

Just one more post on composite people. No one can beat Mark Steyn.

I loved the video.

I must however echo Allen’s comment, any second John or some other liberal will roll around mocking conservatives because “all you can talk about is ….” (I’ve also heard it from other libs). Sadly if Obama cannot be called on the issues he will be reelected. The biggest problem I see is that American’s may no longer be smart enough to understand the issues.

There is another point about the NY Times allowing this in their publication but were I to make it you’d think I was paranoid.

this entire dog meme is just a distraction from the crap that is really important.

It’s not the only issue. But it’s darn well time conservatives pushed back. The whole “Don’t vote for Romney because he ties dogs to the roof of his car” was something THEY started.

To be perfectly honest with you, I hope John does show up. I’d like his views on the fact that Obama eats dogs. As for “composite girlfriends,” I’m certainly not going to crack the President over it because if you’re as much of a dork as I am, composite girlfriends are the only ones you’ve ever had if you know what I mean and I think you do.

Doggone it! Here is our President doggedly trying to focus on jobs and Republicans screw the pooch with this “Fido for Lunch” nonsense.

Remember when The Messiah said Republicans were talking about him “like a dog?” He had a bone to pick with that one, fer shure. Repubs acted like real hot dogs with all that.

Baracka’s job is “ruff” enough without all this barking about his enjoyment of “filet of dachshund” or a McPoodle with cheese and biggie fries.

All I can say about this silliness is, “Who Let the Dogs Out?” Woof, woof!

Back to you, Chet.

The only “composite” girlfriend I had was the one with the tag that said “50% latex/50% natural rubber” by the hole where you put air in. Also, the label on her right foot said “Made in Taiwan.”

Is that the same type of “composite” girlfriend you are alluding to, Mr. Johnson?

BTW, the box she came in said her name was “Loveu Longtime.”

The doggie tales and the composite girlfriend can be overdone, of course. But, Christopher, you haven’t written about composite girlfriends, composite mentors, or anyone else fictional in an autobiography which is supposed to be the real story of your life. As fiction, Obama’s Dreams are one thing; as non-fiction, they don’t hold up to scrutiny.

But this isn’t what will defeat him, unless his reaction to being laughed at is what I think it might be.

As a cheeky comment on Lucianne.com put it, “Obama’s stepfather stewed the pooch, Obama chewed the pooch, and now he’s screwed the pooch.”

Q: Why did Romney tie his dog to the roof of the car?

A: To keep him out of Obama’s reach…

Best observation was at another blog, but I don’t remember where so I can’t give attribution:

“Nixon may have been a pretty nasty person, but at least Checkers didn’t have to sleep with one eye open…”

I’ll give credit to Obama for doing the right thing with composites which is storytelling. It’s great to come up with parodies of “Julia”, but those who want to hand Teh One!1!11! his walking papers in Nov., they’d better start coming up with some original and better stories. “He’s not Obama!” may be a campaign slogan that carries plenty of weight, but it ain’t enough.

What happened to the three strike rule. Obama was attacked on his birth site; Strike one, then for what he ate as a child; Strike two. Then, no one new him or could remember him in college; strike three “yer out”
Now it’s invented composite girlfriends when he was attending college.
Is that three strikes or four balls?
Keep it going your on a roll

John, you are being incoherent. You can do better than that. We expect better from you. Please don’t disappoint.

P.S. “Your” – possessive form – meaning it belongs to you.
“You’re” – contraction for “You are”, as in “you are on a roll”.

You’re welcome.

I do hope my bad grammar does not affect Obama’s re-election.

Christopher Johnson

What’s the problem, John? Are you having trouble with the fact that Obama eats dogs?

John
May 7, 2012

I am convinced that the dog stories will have absolutly no effect on Obama’s supporters, but I think the right-wing-created dog stories will cost Romney some votes.

Christopher Johnson
May 7, 2012

I frankly don’t see how that’s possible, John. Romney put a dog in a cage on the top of his car. Obama ate one. I have to figure that’s going to cost the President some votes.

When the POTUS came to town this week for a campaign rally one wag (pun intended) was heard to say: “The President’s coming to town. Keep your pets indoors!”

Give the dogs a break. They can’t help who owns or eats them. This is strictly the tale wagging the dogs or something like that.

I would like to note for the record that it was the Obama crowd who started this crap with the story about bad old Romney. There, John, you can have your dog and eat it, too!

That mean old liberal Rick Santorum said this a while back during his failed campaign for President…
“As far as Seamus the dog, look, all I would say is, the issues of character are important in this election, and we need to look at all of those issues and make a determination as to whether that’s the kind of person you want to be president of the United States,” Santorum said on ABC this morning.

Christopher Johnson

But what about the fact that Obama eats dogs, John?

John cannot answer that question CJ.

John

Obama eats dogs! Present tense. I think not. What kind of answer are you looking for. Guilt maybe?

Christopher Johnson

Hey, I’m not the one who admitted to eating a dog and may still enjoy a little smoked Pomeranian in a Balsamic glaze from time to time. If you’ve got issues with Obama eating dogs, take them up with him, not with me.

Having spent time in Africa and Asia one does not know for sure what meat one may have eaten.

The interesting question about the dog-eating story is not that a pre-adolescent boy in Indonesia at dog meat when served by his stepfather. It’s the lack of acknowledgment that this is something repulsive to Americans when the grown-up boy in his 30s put the story in his memoir and when he recorded it in an audio book in his 40s which is so strange. Byron York reports that in the Maraniss biography due out soon Obama is shown as grappling with his identity. Is he an international student? Is he American? Is he white? Is he black? The identity he carries now is the one he invented for himself in those years, but he is curiously detached from emotional identification with his country and its culture.

The five-year-old boy across the street would react with disgust if told the meat on his plate was dog. He’s American.

John

Katherine, if that five year old American boy was starving he would eat dog meat and like it.

Carolyn P
May 8, 2012

Oh, Obama was starving when he was “introduced” to dog meat? Well that’s altogether different, then.

Katherine
May 9, 2012

He’d eat it, but not like it. And as Carolyn P points out, Obama wasn’t starving.

John
May 9, 2012

Eating dog meat is neither good or nor bad but merely a cultural choice.

Katherine
May 9, 2012

You’re right, John, and the point is that Obama doesn’t share American culture on this point, as on some others.
