This Week's Exploding Cigar: Obama, the Dog Eater
Made popular 394 days ago in Opinion
americanthinker.com — As Don Surber notes: "Sadly, the economy still slogs along with gun sales as the lone bright sport." Aware that this is not the kind of record you win re-election on, Obama's crack campaign staff has --with the aid of their media lapdogs-- set up a series of diversions, each of which is exploding in Obama's face like Wile E. Coyote's Acme exploding cigars.
Last week the "Republican War on Women" disintegrated when DNC operative Hilary Rosen claimed Ann Romney, a mother of five, never worked a day in her life, so was an odd choice for Mitt's adviser. That was followed by the news that Obama paid the women on his staff 18% less than the male staffers and that Hilary Rosen was a very well paid corporate lobbyist with unprecedented access to the same white House Obama had pledged would not be influenced by lobbyists.
This week, the campaign, aka Acme Cigar Corporation,decided it was time again to try to paint Mitt Romney as personally dislikeable by trotting out a 30 year old tale about his putting the family dog in a carrier on the family station wagon for a trip. Seamus, the dog, protected by a jerry built wind screen, survived, but the story was touted once again by Acme and its press buddies in the belief that as history proved, one can with media helpers knock out Republican candidates on silly externals. Play the race game (Trayvon), the Women's Rights charade (Rosen and Fluke) and the animal lovers' heart strings (Seamus), and in that way pick up piece by piece the blocs of independents they so sorely need to prevail.
And it might have worked but for Jim Treacher's post heard round the internet.
Treacher dug this out of Dreams from My Father, Obama's supposed autobiographical novel which the press praised as evidence of his genius, apparently without ever reading it:
"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.
The President ate dog!!!!!
Leaving aside how the press which did such detailed checking on Obama's opponents (remember how they scoured Palin's emails and Trig's birth records?) -- and every Republican national candidate for decades -- missed this, the news that President was a dog eater, unleashed a ton of creative juices, from YouTube to photoshops to bon mots and clever captioning. Here are some of the best of them:

Has the elite liberal liberal lost their touch at swaying public opinion with their free campaign advertising for liberal democRAT poltiicians like Obama and Clinton?
Yes, the internet has broken their monopoly and balanced their usual lies and distortions.

No, this is just a minor setback like the failed fantasy "Republican War on Wymen".

Lincoln said you can fool some of the people ALL of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all of the time. All people are not as naive as democRAT voters.
0%
Obama and the democRATs are a bad joke on America.

all, but not limited to these choices. Liberals are easily swayed, led and fooled. Conservatives are swayed by facts, not by emotions as the liberals are.

ABC FLIP-FLOPS ON #OBAMAATEADOG
ABC went from promoting the "Dog Wars" to declaring the issue dead within 24 hours. Actually, their flip-flop on the issue took about 14 hours.
Diane Sawyer, in her interview with Mitt and Anne Romney, quizzed the pair about the now infamous family vacation in 1983 where the Romney's put their family dog on top of their car because it had "the runs." The left loved this issue. Web sites promoting "Dog Lovers Against Romney" have sprouted up and Democrats united behind this issue, hoping to get the "Dog Vote" for their Dear Leader. There is even an anti-Romney SuperPAC that has cropped up to take on the dog issue. Sawyer jumped right in. Tuesday night on World News Tonight she led with the burning question that America was foaming at the mouth to hear about, Seamus the Dog on top of the car.
You wanna bring up dog? Let's bring up dog.
Twitter exploded with #ObamaAteDog and #ObamaDogRecipies and even the Activist Old Media had to realize that their Dear Leader was in trouble on this issue. The jokes are everywhere, my favorite is this one: "Don't worry, Obama would never put a dog on top of his car, it dries out the meat."
By Wednesday morning, George Stephanopoulos went on GMA and joked and laughed about the Dog Wars and declared the issue dead. He could never say Obama ate dog, he said he "tasted" it and he "tried" it, but couldn't bring himself to actually say the words, "Obama ate dog." You could tell he hated doing this story as he stuttered and stammered his way through the teze and the story, "maybe this will cycle through quickly," George pleaded to John Karl after his report on the Dog Wars. I dunno George, you're on air 6 days a week over there at ABC, won't you decide which stories live or die? You have a full hour on Sunday to dig deep into this. Perhaps you can even ask Obama about it next time you get an exclusive interview. It seemed to be such a big issue not that long ago.
Clearly, the only reason ABC (and I'm sure the others) feel this is suddenly a non-story is that it is now a liability to Obama. How quickly they cry uncle when their guy is in the arm-lock. Hell, this was a Rampage Jackson rear naked choke.

LBE, a suggestion. I have noticed that libs have fled the site. I would like to see them back. The reason is that part of the purpose I post is to inform libs and try to gently change their minds on issues. However, in order to do that you need to have a chance for them to respond as a lib would respond. A simple lib response such as yes or no without comment, or a typical lib answer you think they would honestly give. That way libs don't feel thrown out of the site and we can reeducate them. The only libs left who post now are paid trolls, you can tell by their scripted responses and following the typical pattern to "prove" they aren't trolls. We need to get real libs back but can't do that and reeducate them if there are no answers they are comfortable with.
