Obama campaign puts Bo on the trail - The Washington Post:
Obama's campaign and other Democrats have been attacking Romney for years over a story that, in the early 1980s, he put his dog in a cage on the roof of his station wagon so the dog could go on trips with him. The first attacks were done by the Clinton campaign in 2007 (her campaign also said McCain wasn't a legal American and ineligible to be President- her campaign started the Birther movement) and Obama's people have been pushing it hard recently. A blogger (Jim Treacher at dailycaller.com) discovered that Obama wrote about eating dog as a child and a million Obama-eats-dog jokes were made. The Obama campaign is furious that their plan backfired and are both pushing the Romney-is-a-bad-dog-owner thing and also saying that it's ridiculous to talk about Obama being even worse to dogs. Last Saturday, at the White House Correspondents Dinner, Obama made several dog-eating jokes. Two days later, he's trying to get dog lovers to vote against the guy who takes his dog on vacation and vote for the guy who eats dogs.
If you watch the White House interact with the media, they continuously lie and spin when there's no real reason to other than the belief that Obama is perfect in every way and it is inconceivable that he could ever be wrong. The current press secretary, Jay Carney, is especially bad at it and it's a guilty pleasure watching the press corps make him twist in the wind. I have to admit, however, he did make a good joke when asked about the drama; he refused to comment so he could keep 'out of the doghouse.'
