Walking Eagle

[Gene]

Senator 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 on HIS future plans for increasing every Native American's
present standard of living, should HE one day become the President. HE
referred to his career as a Senator, how he had signed 'YES' for every
Indian issue that came to his desk for approval. Although the Senator was
vague on the details of his plan, he seemed most enthusiastic about his
future ideas for helping HIS 'red sisters and brothers'.

At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented the Senator with a
plaque inscribed with his new Indian name - Walking Eagle. The proud Senator
then departed in his motorcade, waving to the crowds.

A news reporter later inquired to the group of chiefs of how they came to
select the new name they had given to the Senator. They explained that
Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of crap it can no longer
fly.

Of course it's a joke! I didn't imagine anyone would think it was a real event. The story has been used on several other politicians in the past. If it was real news I would have linked to the news source.
