Romney Took a Dog on a Vacation; Obama Ate a Dog
So a while back, Mitt Romney put the family dog in a crate on the roof of his car and went on a family vacation.
So a while back, Barack Obama ate a dog.
Here’s Jim Treacher:
Hey, if we’re going to talk about how presidential candidates treated dogs decades ago, let’s talk about how presidential candidates treated dogs decades ago.
Can you name the author of this quote?
“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.”
Yep, that’s Barack Obama, writing about his childhood with his stepfather Lolo Soetoro in Indonesia, from Chapter Two of his bestseller Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.
“So what? It was a long time ago,” you say. “He was a lot younger. Customs are different there. He was just doing what his stepfather told him. And hey, you can’t even prove that the dogs were ever left on top of a car, you racist.”
Hey, whatever you have to tell yourself, libs. Say what you want about Romney, but at least he only put a dog on the roof of his car, not the roof of his mouth. And whenever you bring up the one, we’re going to bring up the other.
Treacher has had some fun with this tonight on Twitter (h/t daleyrocks):
If you think Romney’s dog on a car is a campaign issue, but Obama’s dog on a dinner plate isn’t, #YouMightBeALiberal.

@piker62 I’m not the one who thinks Mitt Romney’s dog is a campaign issue. But if they want to talk about dogs, let’s talk about dogs.

Romney put a dog on top of a car. Obama put a dog on top of rice. #WeWillNotBeSilenced

@mitchellreports Romney was too busy hiding his dog on top of the car so Obama wouldn’t eat it.

I strongly encourage @BarackObama‘s staff and supporters to run with this one: “Well, he hasn’t eaten any dogs LATELY.”

That’s just a few of them.
I demand blanket press coverage.
