Pow Wow Chow, Soft Moccasins and High Cheek Bones

7 Awful Moments From Elizabeth Warren's Native American Heritage Debacle

Between her pawpaw and Pow-Wow Chow Ms Warren has used up all the w's in Massachusetts.

Her continuing trial by fire proves that she is absolutely qualified to be a Democratic United States Senator from Massachusetts. Kennedyesque.

If you can pull off these embarrassingly uncomfortable moments without being run out of town on a rail, you are fully prepared for a life in politics.

The cook book was the cat's meow for me. That was delicious. Imagine being in a staff meeting when it was decided to walk that dog around the block. That took guts. Well done Lizzie.

In the figure above of the State Seal of Massachusetts, do you see what I see? Could this be a distant relative. He definitely has those famous high cheek bones. Genealogists should jump right on this. I bet Dan Rather could "discover" a few missing documents to weave this whole story into a nice neat package.

 You go girl. Put on those moccasins and hit the campaign trail!

Forrest Gump or Vladimir Putin

Forrest Gump (character)
Obama Inserts Himself in White House Bios of Past Presidents

Why would any President, even one as self-impressed as Obama, allow his persona to be inserted into the biographies of our past Presidents? That thought bothered me all day yesterday.

After sleeping on it last night, it is obvious to me that there are only two viable possibilities.

First, someone at the White House or in the Obama re-election campaign watched Forrest Gump one too many times over the weekend and just felt a calling.  Or, this is the beginning of a stealth campaign to keep up with the real or imagined exploits of Vladimir Putin. 
 
If you think the Forrest Gump scenario more viable, consider where that could lead. We could see a short video clip of Obama raising the flag at Iwo Jima or sprinting to a Gold Medal at the Olympics a la Jessie Owens or being sworn in as President of the United States. Or even more scary, playing in the Lt. Dan Band.

On the other hand, if you buy the Putin fantasy, just imagine how much fun that video could be. Remember that beach body  they created for Obama during the campaign? Perfect pecs. Just imagine him rescuing relics from the sea and flying helicopters. Lions, and tigers and bears, oh my! This scenario seems more likely.

If the Forrest Gump idea prevails, please omit the scene where Forrest (Obama) reveals his buttocks wound to some unfortunate future President.   

Princess Pants on Fire Still Digging

Warren: 'I'm proud of my Native American heritage' [VIDEO] | The Daily Caller

 Elizabeth Warren may or may not be an American Indian but she is one hell of a hole digger.

Someone on her team should slowly and carefully remove the shovel from her possibly Native American hands and gently lift her out of the hole. The hole is getting deeper and Elizabeth Warren is not in any mood to back fill.

 “You know, I’m proud of my Native American heritage,” Warren said. “I’m proud of my family. It’s now the case that people have gone over my college records, my law school records, every job I’ve ever had to see that I got my work. I got my jobs because I do my work. I work hard. I’ve been a good teacher.”
Did you notice there was no mention of people going over her genealogical records? Maybe it was an oversight. The cookbook reference was solid.
 
Can you imagine the outrage had a Republican candidate made a claim of Native American status possibly used for career advancement through major law schools, and yet the claim remains unverified by any reputable genealogist? Very little chirping. Silence of the crickets.

And, about people going over college records, law school record and such.  That sounds reasonable.  I can only think of one exception to this very good idea.

Is Random Predictable?

KausFiles | The Daily Caller

As described in the Daily Caller | KausFiles today and quoted below, another close friend and associate of Barack Obama, maybe his closest friend, was "randomly" selected from a large pool of applicants for a huge government grant. It is amazing how random is defined by this administration.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded a $5.9 million grant to a University of Chicago Medical Center program run by one of President Barack Obama’s closest friends.
Obama’s longtime friend, Eric Whitaker, runs the Urban Health Initiative (UHI), which was founded as a means of connecting low-income patients with health clinics in their own communities.
The UHI was one of only 26 programs — out of 3,000 applications — to receive a slice of the $1 billion in taxpayer money from the executive’s “We Can’t Wait” initiative, which is aimed at spurring job growth via executive action, reported Keith Koffler at White House Dossier.

I wonder how many of the disappointed 2,974 applicants visited the White House, played golf with the President, have flown on Air Force One or bundled large sums of campaign funds on his behalf. This would be a great project for an enterprising reporter to delve into how many of the "random 26" have some connection to the administration? Just curious. Random thought.

It seems that if you are a regular visitor to the White House, a large dollar bundler for the re-election campaign or play golf with the President it boosts your "randomness odds" tremendously.  An amazing number of people close to this President have received grants, loans and other largesse. History will not be kind in this regard.

Howard Fineman admits DOJ is political.

Howard Fineman: Obama Campaign Strategy Reason for Federal Lawsuit Against Sheriff Arpaio | NewsBusters.org

There are encouraging signs for Republicans.

Signs, signs everywhere signs.

One such sign is liberal Howard Fineman admitting the Obama re-election strategy is the primary reason the Justice Department  has been harassing and finally sued Sheriff Joe Arpaio. For such a liberal personality and Obama admirer to acknowledge Eric Holder's DOJ is doing the bidding for the Obama re-election campaign is politically devastating. Holder would do us all a favor, even the Dems, if he would step aside.

Sadly it also explains the DOJ moves against voter id laws and immigration enforcement or lack thereof in the southern and swing states. Florida better beware after announcing this week that they have found at least 180,000 names on their voting rolls that do not match Florida citizen identities.

Maybe this will motivate some in the MSM to splash a little water on their faces and go do a little journalistic work to vet the President they helped elect in 2008. Howard Fineman at least poked his nose under the tent.

Another encouraging sign today was in the results released in the latest NYT/CBS poll. More on that later.  Is the war on women backfiring?

Yahoo Replaces CEO with troubled resume

CEO Scott Thompson greets Yahoos at Sunnyvale HQ
If he was the current President of the United States, no one would be allowed to review those records.

Because if someone like a hedge fund manager or say a District Attorney or Sheriff from a state like Arizona started nosing around, well the Attorney General of the United States might just step in and sue in federal court to crush that inquiry.

Unfortunate for all involved, especially Mr. Thompson who it now appears may have cancer.

Charlotte-The Dems kind of town

The Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C....
The Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina is going to be great. Divine intervention must have inspired Debbie Whatshername Schultz and the DNC to make this selection. What a great choice. She is such a uniter, just like the President.

North Carolina will welcome the Democrat party of Bev Perdue, gay marriage, tax, spend and organize with open arms. I bet the stock car and right-to-work crowd loves it. The NLRB could allow future Boeing workers in South Carolina to cross state lines and join in the festivities. That would be fun.
 
The irony of the 99%ers crammed into the Bank of America Stadium is just too good to be true. And Lloyd Blankfein, Jon Corzine and Jamie Dimon could make cameo appearances to get the crowds fired up. Down with big banks, right! Maybe a drum circle.

So the 99%ers hope to convince the 61% of North Carolinian's who just voted against gay marriage to convert before they arrive this summer. Bringing in out-of-state union employees to replace local non-union service workers should help smooth this over as well. Genius.

Tough deal this convention, but Debbie loves a challenge.

Preaching is apparently very profitable.

Quiet Please
Obama team tried to 'bribe' Jeremiah Wright to keep quiet: book - NYPOST.com:

This story defines "Chicago politics".  It has everthing, power, money, bribery, back room deals, secret meetings, corruption, preachers and local politics they way it was meant to be played in the Windy City. Filthy.

 And, nobody does it better than the Obama machine, the most open administration evah!


As the President's own preacher calls him out about being paid off to shut up, maybe it's time for the media to wake up and smell the shenanigans. Blinders can only keep out so much sunshine.


When the media finally decides is has been a lap dog long enough and brushes off those journalism degrees and starts digging, this administration is going to collapse.  At some point, the media will realize they are being used and embarrassed by the Obama administration.

Washington Post Vets Romney's Teenage Years - What About Obama's?


Mitt Romney a Bully according to Washington Post

How embarrassing. They can't even fairly present the facts. Facts matter.

Coming soon, big block buster story about boogers, wedgies and pea shooters!

Heads up Washington Post, Barack Obama wrote about things he did in his early years that beg for objective reporting. If that isn't teed up for a great news organization like the Washington Post, what is?

Among things self-admitted by Obama that are begging for sunshine are his use of and love for illegal drugs, his hidden health records, his previous and ongoing associations with some pretty interesting people and his "no where to be found" grades, transcripts, thesis, and education financing details.

Sure, the Washington Post can round up more sources who admit they were not there to produce a great article about Mitt Romney but can they do some real investigative reporting on our President and his youthful indiscretions.

 Go get 'em!

Surviving the Vapors

Fainting
Oh my, the vapors!
News from The Associated Press


It can't be. The international swooning over President Obama is fading.  The bloom is off the rose garden.


But, alas. The French have freshly elected a self-admitted socialist to take over center stage.


And what a socialist Mr. Hollande turns out to be. It was divulged after the election that he is a very rich Socialist who happens to own three summer homes in Cannes on the Riviera. What a socialist. The best kind.  A very rich, true 1%er kind.


Maybe another spell will be cast upon the masses in the shadows of the freshly carved styrofoam Roman columns at the Bank of America Stadium Convention; sorry, the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.


If the Dems loose this election, they could still win a couple of Oscars.
