Wrong Indians dude.

We've seen an advance copy of the president's script for his historic speech to India's parliament. According to the speech, President Obama will convey a moving and heartfelt apology to the Indian people.
Next month we will observe the 120th anniversary of the massacre at Wounded Knee.
For far too many years, American historians called it a "battle," but it wasn't.
I acknowledge that.
I apologize to each of you, those assembled here and the millions more watching and listening, for the harm the American Army, the infamous and disgraced 7th Cavalry, caused that ugly day.
I want to assure you that the people of America have learned from their horrible mistake.
I wasn't there, of course.
If I had been, the tragedy would not have happened.
Today, under my leadership the government would never do such a thing. We've designated the bloody ground at Wounded Knee a National Historic Landmark to honor the bravery, the heroism of the Indians who were killed and I invite each of you to return to the land you left behind, to visit there.
I am announcing today that I am rescinding the 20 Medals of Honor awarded members of the 7th Cavalry for their actions in 1890 at Wounded Knee.
Please forgive us.
Next up, presidential apologies in Korea for starting the war and in Japan for ending the war.
ROTFL!
Wrong Indians dude.
What does the loss of Native American Indians at Wounded Knee have to do with Asian Indians
Is he CRAZY?!
This is a joke, right? Tell me it's a joke, please.
He'll be the laughingstock in the Indian Parliament. They already are talking about his need for teleprompters in their Parliament--never happened before his visit.
The teleprompter got confused.
Could someone please fix the teleprompter.
ROTFL
If only it would.
I wonder how far he'd get into the speech before someone managed to stop him, or before he realized what he was saying? I'd put my money on everybody else in the room realizing it first.
March 2010, he stripped many of them of their livelihoods when he signed the PACT ACT which shut down their Internet businesses.
The sold cigarettes over the Internet - tax free.
PACT ACT ensured that the US Postal Service would not deliver their product to their customers.
All employees were let go... thus increasing unemployment and idling postal workers
And he better not kill any of their sacred cows either.
Hilarious!
Uhm, Bob:
Saw that coming a mile away but you did forget the satire or humor “key words”.
Obummer is probably taking Kobe beef as a gift to the Injuns.
This is a joke, right? Tell me it’s a joke, please.
I don’t think it’s a joke. Obama’s speech writers know their history. America’s treatment of the Indians is well documented. Not only did we attack and kill them but we also stole their land.
Hopefully Obama will make amends by returning all lands taken from the Indians. /s
It is indicative that one would feel a need to ask that. The man with the Kenyan understanding of US history and a penchant for apologizing just might...
Wow! East Indian women are some of the most beautiful women on Earth.
