Because this is Sankaku and we all love crazy & bizarre stories. This story apparently has legs... 4 of them infact...and a Tail.
OBAMA ATE A DOG once. He has eaten Dog Meat according to his own words in the book "Dream of My Father" The quote: “With Lolo I have learned how to eat small green chili peppers raw with dinner, plenty of rice, and away from the dinner people I was introduced to dog meat, tough, snake meat, tougher, and roasted grasshopper.”
This story is trending mainly because some 'bright soul' in the Obama re-election war room thought they could smear Mitt Romney (Republican challenger) with a years old tale about how on a vacation The Romney's strapped their dogs kennel to the roof of their car (again a tale from YEARS AGO...like 2008) - But has Romney or ANYONE running for Prez ever Eaten a Dog?... Obama alone holds that honor.
Think I'm full of shit? Think I'm making it up? In Gantz Land my stories come with Sources!! (Multiple ones to avoid BIAS!)
I Might be called a TROLL if I didn't have Proof of this...But Lucky for me I actually have Obama in his Own Words proving my Point!
