That's a nice fantasy you've laid on us, but it has more to do with conjecture and your own biases and ignorance, than anything factual or evidentiary. The gullible in here will gladly lap up your racism charges, but that's fairly obvious.... it's what they revel in...So let me enlighten the so called enlightened....
The story of Obama eating canine has been around for quite some time. In fact he narrated it from his own book a decade ago, and one would think if there was a political opportunity to be had, those racist right wingers would have used it by now...it's widely known. The fact of the matter is, the Romeny story was kept alive by Obama campaign chairman, David Axle douche. He began tweeting it as far back as January of this year after a picture of Barry and Bo in the limo surfaced saying that's how dog lovers treat thier dogs. I urge you to google it and get informed. Of course it was picked up by late night comics, MSNBC, and they went off and running with it. Not a problem....all's fair in love and politics. But in attempt to keep the Romney story alive and continue to paint his as a cold hearted inhumane animal hater, Axle douche kept on Tweeting. It was picked up by other liberal politicians who I named in another post, and just last week Axlerod referred to it again. It was then that the Romney campaign and other right wing bloggers pointed out the reality in a humorous way....that is Romney may have put the dog on top of the family car, but Obama dined on it. They certainly weren't responding with anything untrue, and if it was fair and fun for the Obama campaign to continue to talk about the Romney incident, why would it be the same for the Obama episode? I'm sure you guys thought the jokes about the dog on the family car were hilarious, but you've suddenly lost your sense of humor. You all tend to do that...along with your objectivity when the subject is Obama. I'd say this blew up in Axle douche's face, but when you're attempting to deflect voters attention with doggie stories, you run that risk. So now you know the rest of the story, but once again....you're entitled to your opinion no matter how uninformed.
