Who IS Mayhill Fowler?
Who IS Mayhill Fowler?
![]() By now, most of us know the name of the person who surreptitiously weaseled her way into a private Obama fund raiser hosted by Alex Mehran, a wealthy real estate developer and boating enthusiast, and his companion Carolyn Davis in California, armed with some kind of a recorder, and walked out with a sound bite that's created a veritable shit storm in the political world. But who IS this woman, how did she pull this off, and what could have motivated her to do what she did? These are the questions that many of us have been asking as we watched the media, Clinton and McCain campaigns attempt to distort Obama's remarks into a bombshell. Meet Mayhill Fowler, a 61 year old "Vassar Girl" who landed in Oakland California, and married well. As the wife of attorney James C. Fowler (a UCSB undergrad; UC Berkley J.D. circa 1968), a Mc Cain supporter and boat lover who owns a 43 foot yacht via some kind of revokable trust he established, and who is a partner with the prestigious firm Bingham & McClutchen, which list's Mehran's firm as a client on it's website, specializes in real estate law, does work in the energy sector, and who's clients also ocassionaly include people who buy military bases that have been closed, Mayhill Fowler inhabits that rarified air of the truly rich and truly elite. Evidently the irony was lost on this Vassar Girl, who married so well, when she wrote her article disparaging Barack Obama as an "elitist". An Obama campaign insider told Phillip Matier and Andrew Ross at the San Fransico Chronicle's SF Gate blog Undercover blogger taped Obama's blunt remarks that "Mayhill Fowler had tried to get into one of two Obama fundraising events in the Bay Area a couple of months back where former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley stood in as a proxy. She was turned away, even though she had offered to pay, says our source." So having tried to get into a private fundraiser before and having failed, it doesn't seem like much of a coincidence that among her husband's clients is Alex Mehran, the host of the now infamous funraiser. Mayhill, the epitomy of an elitist desperate housewife, fancies herself as a "freelance writer", and started blogging at the completely ignored site she created called "Junehill, Owl, and A Green Dog, Too" Junehill, Owl and a Green Dog, Too: March 2007 in March of 2007 - a blog which begins with a post claiming that she was a "Green Dog Democrat" and ends in July of the same year with the rather ominous prediction, "When the day comes that I am no longer enamoured of Mr. O, I will put this list out to pasture." - before picking up her blog shop and moving in as an unpaid "Citizen Journalist" on the Huffington Post's "Off The Bus" site . When Mrs Fowler isn't sneaking into private fundraisers with recording devices, and writing provocatively negative blogs about candidates she supposedly supports, she busies herself with a little operation called "Odysseus Cruising", a company owned by five private investors in the U.S. and E.U. The owners of Odysseus Cruising share a 75 foot yacht which they rent out to wealthy travelers who want to cruise the Greek Isles and Turkish Coast. Mrs. Fowler owns the domain name Odysseus Cruising and lists them as her employer. So it's rather odd that Mayhill Fowler appears in the website's "guest book" where she raves about her cruise experiences and promises to "be back next year!". Her daughter, Caroline, also lists her praise in the guest book comments. Evidently, pretending to be someone you're not runs in the family. With regards to what motivates a person to do what she did, that is a question only she can answer. but then, desperate housewives are known to do desperate things to get the attention they crave. ...even elite desperate housewives.

BTW, i can't take credit for any of the fantastic research in my article. the research all came from a bashful new member who PM'd me after finding my original "who's Mayhill" thread in a web search.
let's all give her a hand and see if she pops in to say "hello!"

Wow! This is the woman who tagged Obama as an elitist? That picture says it all. "Shall we use the falcon or should we get out the horses and the hounds?" "Tea and crumpets afterwards?"

She has written racist Citizen Journalist "blogs" at HuffPo's OffTheBus for months, always snarky blogs about Obama, calling him "cocky" in at least every second sentence. She says she grew up poor in a rich family (say what), and that when Obama spoke of hunters, she realized she had to go to Hillary with her tape. (O.K., I am not exactly sure about that last sentence, but I would bet money.) Of course, the Obama campaign could run with this. Hillary has an elitist mole! The Fowlers own several estates, and Mayfair may own a cruise line. If one can believe her self-written BIO, she has never worked outside the home (stayed home baking cookies) and when she isn't taking down campaigns, she works on family genealogies.

Jeez, you guys are so mean. I don't even treat nazi's this bad. What's the real issue here, anyway? Getting honesty from a politician requires ninja-skillz?

who cares who she is?
she is a no-body. all she did was capture Obama's own words. Her motivations are unimportant |

WHAT does media bias have to do with this woman recording Obama? The media didn't make the words up. BTW> I'm a secular humanist. deriving my moral code from respect of humanity - not some unseen outside god. |

Clearly you have not read Mayhills article which is a lengthy diabribe INSISTING that Obama is an elitest. You must also have avoiding reading her FIRST article about the same event. Why you are constantly opening your trap to express totally unfounded opinions about stuff your lazy butt has not bothered to read is beyond me. ![]() |

She is not the story. Her views are unimportant. Only Obama's words are driving this thing - not Mayhill. Obama's typical white person remark. his affiliation with Rev. HateSpeech. now his condesending appraisal of middle class voters crystalizes his elititist attitude. It may not be that important in the Primary - but it will make him a flawed candidate for the General. |
