On Tuesday, Obama’s chief campaign strategist and senior advisor David Axelrod tweeted a picture of his boss and his dog, Bo, in a presidential limo, with this message:
“How loving owners transport their dog.”
The message was an obvious jab at Romney, whose wife Ann told a family anecdote about how the Romneys had taken a roadtrip to Canada in the 1980s with their dog Seamus in a kennel strapped to the roof of the car.
Conservative bloggers and talk-show hosts have fought back, noting that Obama wrote in one of his autobiographies that, as a child in Indonesia, he had eaten dog meat. That provided the perfect fodder for Romney’s riposte:
“At least I didn’t eat it [Seamus].”
Obama’s defenders say that eating dogs is a cultural practice in Indonesia and of young Obama’s Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro. But a Breitbart investigation says it ain’t so.
Charles C. Johnson reports for Breitbart.com, April 19, 2012:
Fidogate has just gone international. Already the Left is defending Obama for eating dog meat on the grounds that his stepfather–who was Indonesian–wanted to share his culture and customs with him. But there’s just one problem with this: it wasn’t his culture or custom.
In fact, in Jakarta, where the Obamas lived with their Indonesian stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, dog meat is illegal. In the majority Muslim Indonesia, eating dog is forbidden among most ethnic groups in the islands, though a small, black market is said to exist for those looking for it. The only exception are the Batak people, principally of Northern Sumatra who eat it on holidays–but Obama’s stepfather, who was raised in West Java, isn’t a part of that ethnic group. Besides, the Obamas lived hundreds of miles and several islands away.
A diplomatic source close to the Indonesian delegation in the U.S. confirms that while dog is sometimes eaten in Indonesia, it is done so very rarely. “Obama had to go hunting for dog meat,” the source, who didn’t want to be identified, told me. “I don’t know of anyone who eats it and frankly, I’m a little offended you would ask.”
Breitbart.com scoured Indonesian cook books. Not one mentions ways to prepare dog.
Still, the bit in Dreams from My Father where Obama says that a man can take on the powers of whatever he ate is a traditional animist belief among some tribesmen in Indonesia.
But the question remains: having confessed eating dog, grasshopper, and snake, which one’s powers did Obama pick up?

The answer, of course, is snake!
Which explains why he always speaks with forked tongue.

Obama must have eaten cobra meat; he acts like a snake, and his policies are poisonous.
Are snakes stupid? Writing some of things “he” has written in his books is plain stupid.
I DESPISE snakes!!!
It’s Dog, he continues to hike his leg on The Constitution.
Hey jjohnston you might want to change your name, it looks too much like an email address…
Did he eat jack-ass at any time?
Dog and cat are both eaten in the Philippines. The Filpino Constabulary hired to guard our compound, told us to keep an eye on our dogs at all times, and if we had cats to keep those locked up too; because some like to eat both. Even though the gates around each house were kept locked; we never let the dog out without nof us around. And the cats were idoor ones anyway
So true. I was there a few times when I was in the USN in the early 80′s. Also ‘monkey meat’ I so remember that on the bambo skewers on the grills… In South Korea to. I could go on but it would gross a lot of folks out…
the damned who are cast outside New Jerusalem are called dogs. satan is called a snake. i think obama ate what came natural to him as satan incarnate. (I really do believe he’s the 666 beast.)
i think he must of also eaten a christian missionary also. probably a liberal gay hippie. obama the cannibal
