thewayne"I'm not going to eat Barack Obama's dogfood."
— Mitt Romney
Umm, Mitt, you're mixing analogies. I think you're looking for the phrase "I'm not going to drink Obama's Koolade." Eating your own dog food is normally associated with software companies. Microsoft eats their own dog food: their employees use MS operating systems, office software, etc. If they didn't, they would be roundly ridiculed. Technically, as long as you're accepting money as a Congresscritter, you're eating Obama's dog food. If you stop taking your Congressional pay check and benefits and health care, pay for all of your staff yourself, pay rent for your Congressional office, then I would say you're not eating his dog food.
