Michele Bachmann renounces Swiss citizenship

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) asked the Swiss government Thursday to withdraw her Swiss citizenship, saying she wanted to make it clear that she was a proud U.S. citizen.

"Today I sent a letter to the Swiss Consulate requesting withdrawal of my dual Swiss citizenship, which was conferred upon me by operation of Swiss law when I married my husband in 1978," said Bachmann in a statement.

"I took this action because I want to make it perfectly clear: I was born in America and I am a proud American citizen. I am, and always have been, 100 percent committed to our United States Constitution and the United States of America. As the daughter of an Air Force veteran, stepdaughter of an Army veteran and sister of a Navy veteran, I am proud of my allegiance to the greatest nation the world has ever known," she added.

POLITICO first reported on Tuesday she was granted Swiss citizenship on March 19

Wondering if some Swiss bank accounts were drained just prior.

I just don't believe her. Send the drones over, she's hiding something. Shouldn't she be producing that marriage certificate and her birth certificate as well?

Shouldn't she be put on a "no fly" since she's from a country known to harbor terrorists?

[Hoss]

Shouldn't she be put on a "no fly" since she's from a country known to harbor terrorists?

And of course this coming from a person who thought the media should do a 'penetrating' investigation to see if members of Congress were "Anti-American".

FAIL.

Apparently it's the little things that will decide this election:

Romney Team's Latest Spelling Mistake: Ronald Reagan

First "Amercia," then "sneak-peak," and now "Ronald Regan." No wonder the Romney campaign is searching for a copywriter. (Required skill: "Ability to edit and proof own work.")

Buzzfeed spotted the latest spelling error from the Romney team on Wednesday after taking a look at a slideshow the campaign's pollsters put together for bundlers, and the rest of the Web appears to have taken notice. (The Gipper's last name is spelled Reagan.) Among the international outlets currently running the story: Britain's Telegraph, Canada's Star and Ireland's Independent.

The typo was in a chart showing the approval ratings of incumbent presidents in the May before their re-election attempt. "Ronald Regan" was noted as having a 53 percent approval rating. (For the record, Obama's was 47 percent, according to the chart).

The mistake is the fourth recent spelling error of note for the campaign, and given how often Reagan was name-dropped during the primary season, this one probably stings a good deal more than the campaign's more innocuous typos:"offical" and "sneak-peak." The "Amercia" slip, however, was on a smartphone app that couldn't be easily corrected, so it probably remains the campaign's most embarrassing (and we offer that analysis from our seats in a glass house, where we know a thing or two about typo regret).

Don't hug the President.  It could have dire consequences.

Restaurant owner dies shortly after meeting Obama 

Josephine "Ann" Harris, the owner of "Ann's Place" restaurant in Akron, Ohio, died of an apparent heart attack hours after meeting President Obama this morning, the Akron Beacon Journal reported.
Harris, 70, hugged the president when he visited her restaurant this morning as part of his "Betting on America" bus tour through Ohio and Pennsylvania. She was photographed alongside the president during his visit, as you can see below. (Harris is in the center.)

Harris' sister Frankie Adkins told the newspaper that Harris "loved Obama." Adkins said the visit would have been a "highlight" for Harris, who had reportedly been "ecstatic" about the president's visit when she spoke to a reporter Friday morning.

The Beacon Journal has two photographs of Harris from the time of Mr. Obama's visit here. Mr. Obama stopped into the restaurant and had breakfast with three Goodyear Tire employees around 8:30 a.m.; Harris was reportedly pronounced dead at 11:18 a.m.

A campaign official tells CBS News that the White House will comment soon on Harris' death.

She didn't have access to healthcare.  Obamacare was too late to cure her malady.

I'm sure it was Bush's fault.

Can anyone else lay claim to the term "Self Destruct" any better than MO representative Todd Akin?

Go easy on him.  Obvioulsly, the "they" implanted a stupidity chip in him.

I think "they" put in two of them.

[Hoss]

I think "they" put in two of them.

It may possibly be an entire series of chips.  How else do you try and walk it back...twice...and then your own party starts asking you to step aside from the race?

I forget...is this the guy who swims naked in public areas?? Or the one who thinks raped women can't get pregnant??
