BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Seneca Nation of Indians welcomed President Barack Obama to Buffalo with protesters in the street and a full page ad in the local newspaper saying he broke his promise to honor treaties when he signed a law that will devastate the Indian tobacco trade and put thousands of people out of work in Western New York.
The ad was in the form of an open letter.
“Dear Mr. President, Last fall you invited Native American leaders to Washington, D.C. and promised to listen to our concerns and respect our treaty rights. You pledged meaningful consultation and dialogue before any changes in federal policies impacting Indian Country.
“Your words instilled confidence and hope in the hearts of the Seneca people. We believed your pledge to make tribes full partners in the economy and give Indian children a shot at the American Dream. But, Mr. President, you failed to keep your word,” the ad said.

If anyone is letting down the Seneca it's UK ~ as usual.
When it comes to the Oneida and Tuscarora, they were, for the most part, American allies ~ and when it came to being protected the US government was supposed to protect them ~ but it didn't.
So, putting money in the pockets of dems isn’t paying off. So sad. NOT!!
The Fuhrer betrayed anyone stupid enough to buy his BS:

Marxist-in-Chief to Indians, “Endeavor to Persevere”.
The tens of thousands of us who have been getting our tobacco products via the Indian reservations are just a little incensed as well.
This mostly came as the result of pressure from NY Congress-Critters including "Chuck-you Schmuker" and NY State legislators who after raising the taxes on tobacco to one of the highest in the nation, were trying every which way they could to kill the Indian business so they could reap the rewards in additional revenue--or so they believed.
Bottom line is our FASCIST gubmint can declare a legal product verbotten from being mailed using the Postal Service, what is to keep them from doing the same to any other product they decide they want to control?
You can take this to the bank: Next will be law forcing all Internet sales to charge taxes and remit same to the States from which the transactions emanate.

Should be titled truth in humor.
That’s great. I’m saving it. Thanks.
Oh come on now... everyone knows Obama speaks for these people. This must be an Onion report or something. /s
LOL. You folks BELIEVED Hussein?? you BELIEVED HIM??????
How pathetic. He is a LIAR. L.I.A.R.
Never believe a liberal socialist democrat.
Leaving a wake of remorse and regret where ever he goes.
Another failure, sport.
The quaint and colorful American Aborigines will no longer be able to just say "White man speak with forked tongue," because Obama has offered to share that heavy burden with us.

Indian to carpetbagger: “You drink it.”

Isn’t that a hoot? Yes, now it’s Whitey and Blackie who speak with forked tongue. Good one.
I’ll have to admit to finding it very funny when a Black or Hispanic leader gets called on the red carpet for dissing minority interests.
Let’s see how golden boy scampers around this one.
Remember, he can’t just lay it off on White racists this time.
Cry me a river. You fools voted for him.
If you want sympathy, you can find it in the dictionary, it’s between sh!t and Syphilis.
There, I helped you, now go back to crying me a river.
