The joke is on the GOP
April 20, 2012
According to the president's autobiography, "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance," when Barack Obama was between six and ten years old and living in Indonesia, his stepfather fed him dog meat (among other exotic foods) to take "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." ABC has more details here.
At six, or even ten, some kids are still eating paste (I suspect Glenn Beck still does), so whatever a parent puts in front of a kid at dinner time is what they must, and usually will, chow down. Their judgment hasn't exactly peaked yet (nor has some adults', as I'm about to remind you).
At age 36, Willard M. Romney stuck his dog in a crate atop his FamilyMobile and hosed him down after he defecated down the car window, then put him back in the kennel and continued the twelve-hour long trek to Canada. He chose to do that. He consciously abused his own dog. A six-to-ten-year-old Barack Obama would have undoubtedly had better judgment.
To recap, a boy ate what his dad served him at the dinner table, and an adult forced his sick, miserable, wet dog to get back into a cage on the roof of a car for more hours of cramped, cold, intestinal misery.
That was then, this is now.
Via Taegan, Sarah Palin on Fox News, responding to a Secret Service joke about checking Palin out:
"Well check this out, bodyguard — you're fired. And I hope his wife sends him to the doghouse. As long as he's not eating the dog, along with his former boss."
Funny stuff, Sarah. Who writes your material, John McCain?

*please make them go away*
*please make them go away*
Sh$t....they are still here.....
Romney just can't shake this off.
I truly hope that you do someday get it.
really???????????????????????...
one of these days, you'll remove your head from his anal cavity and realize how foolish and ill-informed you sound.
Karl Rove was wrong.
what a joke
obama is a politician...when a politician's lips are moving, they are lying...obama is lying
that's not so hard, now is it?
If you are worried about the facts, then study them.
There's always more to learn. Never assume that you know the whole story (from a book, no less..)
I don't rely on one book. I rely on good journalism, whether it be news, newspapers or proper Internet information.
Stalker, knowing a couple things (the CRT professor video was only released LAST MONTH) isn't the same as knowing everything,.
You're reading too much into me being able to list a few disturbing facts about Obama.
There's still so much more to learn..so much covered up slowly being uncovered.
No, I never called you ignorant.
One thing Proud Progressive left out was that you could call Obama the Oil Producing President. But you Regressives can't even embrace him for that. I get tired of hearing Right Wingnuts cry and cry about nonsense like he wasn't born here, he's a socialist, commie, fascist, he's a Muslim, he's gay,........ Geez! For once make an intelligent comment.
Come on - make your list of lies. Obama isn't my favorite president either and I didn't vote for him, but this time around I have too because look at the screwball on the Right. Though Jill Stein (GP) is looking pretty good to me.
Where were you during the Cheney administration - I bet you didn't make a peep during those miserable eight years. And talk about lies!
"Corporations are people too, my friend!" -- Mitt Romney
It's been on average a 1.5 trillion increase per year under Obama. Not 1.44 total.
In other words, he's already spent $1.5 trillion more per year than Bush spent in 8 years!
When Obama took office we were at $10 trillion in debt. $5 Trillion added by bush in 8 years in office.
Only 3 years later, we are at $15 trillion in debt. 2 of the 3 years Democrats controlled both the house AND senate, which means either Obama hasn't been president for 3 years OR Obama has spent us into $5 trillion more in debt.
Which is it?

It’s worth noting that public debt began to escalate well before Obama’s presidency. On the inauguration date of his GOP predecessor, George W. Bush, total outstanding public debt was $5.728 trillion. On April 5 of Bush’s fourth year in office, public debt had swelled by approximately 25 percent to $7.142 trillion. When Bush left office, the debt was 85 percent higher than when he entered.
Unsurprisingly, Obama’s Treasury Department blames most of the current debt on decisions made under Bush, including tax cuts (which it says cost the government $3 trillion), the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (which it tallies at $1.4 trillion) and the Medicare prescription drug program ($300 billion). It attributes a 12 percent fraction of the deficit to Obama administration policies like the $800 billion recovery act. Treasury Department spokesman Matthew Anderson says the recession fu...

It attributes a 12 percent fraction of the deficit to Obama administration policies like the $800 billion recovery act. Treasury Department spokesman Matthew Anderson says the recession further threw the budget out of whack by boosting the need for government aid at a time when tax revenues decreased.
Renacci also stated that federal spending escalated by nearly 30 percent since Obama took office. When we asked his spokesman, James Slepian, where Renacci got the number, he correctly said that federal spending in the last year of Bush’s presidency was $2.982 trillion. He then said that spending would rise by $820 billion, or 27 percent, if President Obama’s $3.803 trillion proposed 2013 budget were to become law.
When we observed that Obama’s proposal is unlikely to become law, and asked whether it’s appropriate to treat that number as dollars that have already been spent, Slepian replied that Obama’s budget reflects the president’s desired spending level. He also conceded it might have been more precise if Renacci had said "Since President Obama took office, his budgets would increase federal spending by nearly 30 percent."
Ohio GOP Sen. Rob Portman provided a more accurate take on the rise in federal spending in a statement that PolitiFact Ohio examined in January. PolitiFact found that Portman’s assertion that federal spending rose 21 percent over the past three years was Mostly True, because his percentage was accurate, but his statement didn’t reflect that the extra spending was a temporary elevation driven by the economic downturn.
Renacci’s statement that the national debt has increased by almost 50 percent on Obama’s watch is accurate, although it fails to account for factors beyond Obama’s control that drove a significant part of the rise. And while federal spending has increased significantly on Obama’s watch, it hasn’t risen by "nearly 30 percent," as Renacci claimed. Nor does Renacci’s statement reflect that plenty of the spending he criticizes is tied to the faltering economy and some was due to decisions made before Obama took office.
