More dreams of his father

According to this latest report, there are two revelations that should have many Americans talking, particularly the targeted audience of dog lovers. According to this report, the Obama re-election team has targeted Mitt Romney for putting his dog in a portable kennel on a vacation trip on the roof of the car during transit. (ala Clark Griswold) Romney has fired back with an excerpt from Obama's book Dreams of My Father, where Obama admittedly ate dog meat and other things as a boy, while being instructed in the values and religious practices of Islam by is step father.

There are two items of interest to note on this also. First, the average liberal, dog lover or not will give Obama a pass for his history while simultaneously demonizing Romney for his past. Secondly, once again the revelation of Obama's Muslims roots has surfaced and yet once again, his youth spent being indoctrinated into Islam will be passed off as nothing of interest.

Obama as a Boy Ate Dog Meat

Much has been made about Mitt Romney, in 1983, putting his family dog Seamus in a kennel on top of his roof and driving from Boston to Canada, with said canine Seamus making his displeasure known in a rather scatological way.
Democrats have signaled they have every intention of making sure the American people — especially dog-lovers — know the tale. In January, senior Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod tweeted a photo of the president and Bo in a car, with the snide observation: “@davidaxelrod: How loving owners transport their dogs.”
The Romney campaign signaled tonight that they are not about to cede any ground when it comes to a candidate’s odd past with man’s best friend.
And the Obama campaign shot back, with a spokesman suggesting the Romney team was attacking a child, since the Obama act in question took place when he was a kid.
The Daily Caller noted that in President Obama’s best-selling memoir, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,” the president recalls being fed dog meat as a young boy in Indonesia with his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro.
“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),” the president wrote. “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.”
