Michele Bachmann's story about her dual citizenship doesn't add up.  First, her office claims she became a Swiss citizen in March, now the Congresswoman says she's been a Swiss citizen since 1978.  Ed Schultz tries to sort through the confusion.

BREAKING: After reports that she had become a citizen of Switzerland Tuesday night, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has contacted the Swiss Consulate to withdrawal her dual Swiss citizenship.

The Minnesota Republican issued a statement today saying she had sent a letter to the Swiss Consulate asking for withdrawal of her Swiss citizenship. She says she did so "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." 

Bachmann has said she automatically became a dual citizen of the U.S. and Switzerland in 1978 when she married her husband, Marcus, and that her family just recently updated its documents because some of their children wanted dual citizenship.

Yesterday, we imagined what Bachmann would've said if the Obamas had sought dual citizenship with Kenya or a European socialist nation. 

Bachmann is seeking re-election from Minnesota's 6th Congressional District following her failed run for the Republican presidential nomination.

Months after she dropped out of the Republican race for the White House, Tea Party favorite Michele Bachmann has become a Swiss citizen.  

Bachmann's spokeswoman Becky Rogness says the congresswoman was eligible for dual citizenship since she married her husband of Swiss descent in 1978. 

Rogness tells Minnesota Public Radio some of the couple's children wanted to exercise their eligibility for dual citizenship, so they went through the process as a family.

All very nice, of course, except what would Bachmann had said if the Obamas had sought dual citizenship with Kenya or a European socialist nation?  

Here's a hint from 2008 when Bachmann said she wished the "American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out if they are pro-America or anti-America."

And Bachmann has been one of the most fanatical opponents of President Obama's health care law.  So what does this say about her anti-socialist creditentials?  After all, Swiss citizens are required by their government to buy insurance, which is subsidized by the government, which, as Bachmann has pointed out before, is SOCIALISM!
