He did say however that he does intend to continue voting for Barry Squawking Pigeon if Barry decides to run for a third term.

Good for him — he picked a good year to die.

If he died next year his estate would have been taxed at 55 percent.

That is, if he had one, and if he is subject to taxes (not sure if he was, being an Indian).

Liberal women like Sheila Jackson Lee are downright scary when it comes to their far-Left socialist agenda and their income redistribution beliefs for American wage earners! Pictures, Images and Photos "Bush's fault!"

Huh. Did not know Obama was “adopted” as a native American.

But it proves one thing. He is more of an injun than Elizabeth Warren.

I’ve adopted Obama into my tribe. Wait until he gets his tribal tax bill. It’s 86 trillion dollars. His official tribal name is Jackass That Talks. He is allowed to wear a headdress made of chicken feathers.

News probably broke like this:
Location: Oval Office.

Axelrod: "Mr. President, I have some sad news. The Tribal Elder from Montana's Crow Indian Tribe who adopted you in 2008 has passed away."
Bronco Bama [practicing his putting]: "Uh huh. What's for lunch?"
