Another concern troll, with little to say!
Hey, Ms. Rodda, how about doing some genealogical research on the current occupant of the White House.
Why doesn’t this Chris Rodda research Obama family history, where he was born, and what grades he got in school.
Politicians like bachman need to be very careful what they say because liberal turds are lying in wait to catch them in any mistake.
The same liberal turds who ignore the Alledged President.
The truth hurts I know.

No kidding.
So, maybe she’s a fourth generation Iowan or a fifth generation Iowan, not a seventh.
To the gibbet with her, you say! A LIAR, ohmygawd, you say.
I say, get a freaking life.
Bachmann's immigrant ancestors didn't make a pilgrimage straight to the promised land of Iowa. From Quebec, they went to Wisconsin. That's where the 1860 census found them. From there, they moved to the Dakota Territory. Bachmann claims that her people "kept going, and they persevered" through floods and crippling winters. Well, kind of. After enduring those trials in the unforgiving Dakota Territory, they actually turned tail and retreated to the relative ease and safety of...Iowa. "Okay," Bachmann apologists may be saying at this point, "but history is hard and stuff! Maybe this was just an honest mistake." Not a chance, Rodda says. "The only historical sources where she could have found some of the details of her story--like the 13-week ocean passage--also clearly show that her family went to Wisconsin, not Iowa," Rodda says. "She couldn't have known those things without knowing that the whole premise of her speech was a lie." You can read the whole of Rodda's excellent historical fact-checking here. And here's video of Bachmann telling her imaginary American tale:
Unless I’m counting wrong, 7 generations from 1850 would be the 1990s, so yea, she may be a little off because of her age but that’s isn’t a big ‘off’. It is more of an illustrative statement than a mathematical analysis.
Ms Bachmann needs to tighten up her campaign quickly. A couple of weeks ago it was the Concord gaffe, then there was a leak from “someone close to her”, reports of high turnover in her closest staff and now today she was caught embellishing her families ties to Iowa. I have never heard her debate, but have found her interviews to be rambling as she stumbles to find words. Maybe the small stage in Minnesota suits her better than the bright lights of a presidential campaign.
Getting ready to replace her at #2 with Herman Cain...
Another moron who takes what ever garbage is fed them by the Trash media and believes it. 7 Generation is 140 years. 1850 to 2011 is more then 7 Generations. Perhaps instead of buying every lie feed them by the Junk Meida, “Conservatives” might want to do a little thinking for a change
Note to Ms. Bachmann. Repeat the following: “Sorry, I misspoke. It was in fact 4th generation, my bad.”
How many times is this non-news going to be posted; you would think this is some sort of political catastrophe. IT AIN’T!
Hey,
Didn’t we just go through 2 years of a POTUS making up his family history?
It is amazing that some lefty troll can find all this information about Michelle’s lineage going back 150 years and not one of those snot nosed lefties even cares about whether the current occupier of the white hut, is a natural born American citizen.
All of what I know of my family history is handed down.
How much is accurate and how much is inaccurate? I have no way of knowing.
Maybe she was just repeating what she was told by her family.
But you can call her a liar if you want. Maybe she is, maybe she isn’t.
Posting hit pieces from radical left publications?
Why wait......
4th generation? So that means she’s a natural born citizen right?
Go back 4 generations - two parents, 4 grand parents, 8 great grand parents, 16 great great grand parents.
Did the researcher investigate all 16 people?
