Okay it means nothing, indulge me and my life story of eating dog. I’ve worked/lived in Port Moresby, Suva, Singapore, Nukuʻalofa and many other countries, I did spend a fair amount of time in Indonesia. Specifically I’ve spend 200+ nights of my life in Jakarta.
I‘ve not followed this story much but if this is the level we are going to debate who is the better president then we’ve ran from reality.
It matters not that Berry was only six years old he ate dog, what matters is dog meat is for the more affluent, those that had. I’ve never or could eat dog but I’ve eaten the poor man’s food “monkey” many, many times. I’ve eaten monkey sweet breads, Barry must have lived the life of luxury in his youth if his daily diet did not include monkey.
So would you rather be the dog on Romney’s rooftop or the dog Obama ate?

A passage from Obama's memoir, "Dreams From My Father," in which Obama writes: 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. No wonder he has a problem keeping his feet on the ground when he walks past a fire hydrant!

I read in a book about Kit Carson that he ate dog on a few occasions. If I recall correctly, it was considered an honor to be served dog by certain Indian tribes. Carson is a hero to me, but, I can't see myself feeling so honored to be similarly honored.
I've read about people enjoying warm monkey brain straight out of nature's serving bowl- the monkey's head. It's not something I'd try, but, since I've had snake and grasshoppers, I guess I could be thought of as being on the fringe of gustatory sanity.
I'd rather be the dog Obama ate. I eat a lot of chilis and I'd like to think I could ruin life for him if only for a few hours.
I am not crazy about how that would all end, of course.

Well, yeah, I'll agree it was amusing the way it backfired...

Hey, remember this? Good times. But I might as well reuse this thread to rant against BHO, since he seems to still be a big factor in the the Democrat cesspool. Biden’s disastrous foreign policies could have been invented by Obama. And he’s appearing in Biden ads. Maybe he’s running the campaign. Sorry, Turk, I know what a big Obama fan you are. Two words: dog tacos.

As I noted elsewhere, the Clinton-Obama wing may be starting to lose its grip on the Dem Party. Hard to believe Clinton took over the Dems 32 years ago. Such is Life.
