Drudge Report Goes After President Obama for Eating Dog Meat as a Boy in Indonesia (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

DRUDGE REPORT GOES AFTER PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR EATING DOG MEAT:  The Drudge Report is leading this morning with a caption that as a boy, President Obama ate dog meat. Why is this so newsworthy? It wasn’t a secret because he wrote it in his best-selling memoir, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,” in which he recalls being fed dog meat as a young boy in Indonesia by his stepfather Lolo Soetoro. Um, if I’m not mistaken, there are some cultures that also feast on cats, so what’s the point? Oh, wait, I guess they are trying to shut down any attacks from the Obama camp against Mitt Romney transporting his dog in a crate on top of his car.

Here’s an excerpt from the Daily Caller:

“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.” After his mother married Soetoro, Obama lived in Indonesia from 1967 until 1971, from roughly the age of 6 through 10.

I guess it’s lost on the right wing that our “friends” in China regularly feast on dog meat. SMH. It’s pretty repulsive to me, but he didn’t just go into a butcher shop and pick some up himself. It was given to him as a child.
