Asian-Americans want spot at Obama hog trough

Look, I can understand any interest group, ethnic or otherwise, wanting a slice of the pie from a new presidential administration.

But, the argument that Asian-Americans were a “deciding factor” in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, Virginia, Nevada and Minnesota is a bit specious.

First, all those states except Washington state were relatively close.

In Minnesota, I could cite American Indians being a deciding factor, with a straight face. In Nevada, with a semi-straight face, I could cite Basque sheepherders.

Ditto for gay Navy service personnel in Virginia.

And, with tongue firmly in cheek, could talk about:
• Gay “Joe the Plumbers” in Ohio;
• Fifth cousins of Joe Biden in Pennsylvania;
• Gamblers Anonymous members in Nevada;
• Left-handed atheists in Minnesota.

Etc., etc
