UPDATE: A few of our favorite #ObamaDogRecipe tweets after the jump

Question: Why did Mitt Romney put his dog on top of the car? Answer: So Barack Obama wouldn't eat it (h/t Jim Treacher).
After months of Obama's campaign mentioning the incident of Mitt Romney putting his dog in a carrier on top of his car's roof, The Daily Caller's Jim Treacher went back and looked at Obama's record of dog treatment.
As Treacher says, "if we're going to talk about how Presidential candidates treated dogs decades ago, let's talk about how Presidential candidates treated dogs decades ago."
It turns out in Obama's autobiography Dreams of My Father Obama talks about eating dog in Indonesia with his stepfather:
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).
We're guessing the Obama campaign wish they hadn't made dogs an issue.
Obama's campaign guru David Axelrod recently tweeted the above photo of Obama and his dog Bo in a limo, noting "How loving owners transport their dogs."
Tonight the Romney campaign responded, with spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom retweeting Axelrod's message, adding "In hindsight, a chilling photo."
Once the news broke of Obama's craving for canine, Twitter lit up with people suggesting their own #ObamaDogRecipes — suggestions like Mutt Wellington and Chicken Poodle Soup. We'll update with some of our favorites.
Democrats started this fight but politics is a dog eat dog world. And conservatives bite back.
If this is what the right uses to defend Mittens’ horrible treatment of a pet, then November is going to be a Democratic slam dunk.
You mean like grilling it? I bet raw green chiles are tasty on dog meat.
then that’s not horrible treatment. Given the lack of industrial food practices in places like Indonesia, the dog in question like lived a better life than most American chickens, cattle, and pigs do.
“likely” not “like”
This is a keeper. I think I’ll make it my sig line. Ari defends Obama dog eating as “not horrible treatment.”
Your stupidity and liberal shilling knows no bounds, not even the consumption of canines.
Either animals are okay to eat, or they’re not. Maybe you’re a militant vegan, but most Americans are not.
The GOP always needs an emotional angle to exploit, because they can’t win on issues.
