The cognitive dissonance of stars and stripes on Obama Dog have me confused. An insult to our great American dog to be so conflated with a closet bolshevik.

If ever a dog's expression said "What the hell?"...

I can't think of a significant traditional carnival or parade in the U.S. that would consider it proper to waste money on a float ridiculing another nation's government (although the subjects, in this case, deserve all the ridicule they get). Why, that would be -- what is it they call us -- 'arrogant'?
The obsessive anti-American bigotry on display in some quarters in Europe is absolutely pathological.

Perish the thought!
I'm sure that Coco is much too fastidious to bite the sorry arse of a mere Clinton. Anyway, she ( Coco not Clinton) would need immediate medical shots afterwards to protect her from contagion.

Vinny - their obsession with us shows us we're still #1. I have decided that many of our most frequent critics - France, Germany, Canada - would rather be yelled at than ignored.
The Germans haven't really mastered their racial sensitivity training, now, have they?
OK, Hillary is depicted as a plump, blond hag, and maybe Germans know something about that stereotype. Senator Barack Obama is depicted as a dog. Oooo, totally not good.
The nastiest racial put-down in American society is the representation of a man of another race as an other-than-human animal. That dog float is going to require some major apologies from everyone over there on up to Angie Merkel.

Not sure what hurts BHO the most. Euroweenie's or Hanoi Jane's endorsement? I guess at least the "churmans" didn't sit in a AAA gun that might have shot Big Mac down.
Maybe BHO's campaign will leak how he's been told many European heads-of-state prefer him over Mac. That worked out pretty well for John 'effin Kerry. LOL!

I... I'm pretty sure that exposing a poor, helpless animal to Hillary Clinton's evil witch cackle is abuse and exploitation. Watch out or PETA will come for you!
Coco is much prettier than the bulldog on the float. Also than Obama. Oh, and Hillary. And McCain.
I'd say "Coco for president" but she seems far too intelligent for the post.
