skyrider 0 #1 May 21, 2010 President BARACK OBAMA was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation two weeks ago in upstate New York. He spoke for almost an hour about his plans for increasing every Native American’s present standard of living. He referred to his time as a U.S. Senator and how he had voted for every Native American issue that came to the floor of the Senate. Although President Obama was vague about the details of his plans, he seemed most enthusiastic and spoke eloquently about his ideas for helping his “red sisters and brothers.” At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented Obama with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name, “Walking Eagle.” The proud President then departed in his motorcade to a fundraiser, waving to the crowds. A news reporter later asked the group of chiefs how they came to select the new name they had given to the President. They explained that “Walking Eagle” is the name given to a bird so full of crap it can no longer fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #2 May 21, 2010 So, let's see how many people we can find this "joke" has been applied to; Hillary - http://www.catsprn.com/walking_eagle.htm Kerry - http://www.snopes.com/politics/kerry/eagle.asp Bush - Also the same reference as Kerry. Variations on the theme applied to NASA and Morris Udall as far back as 1960. Hmmm. Why can't these folks write their own jokes?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeorgiaDon 340 #3 May 21, 2010 Yet another plagiarized piece of crap from off the internet. This has been floating around since the 1960's, and has been applied to about every prominent politician. Funny when told as a joke, less so when the gullible post it without attribution, as if it was their own writing. Hint: Snopes is your friend.
