Obama Pledges To Help Native Americans: 'You Will Not Be Forgotten'

President Obama told Native American tribal leaders this morning that they had a friend in the White House who would work to ensure that the federal government would now meet their needs.

No Victim Group Left Un-Pimped.

Bailout the indians?? They’re pretty much a welfare case and we’ve been bailing them out for years.

[A CA Guy]

More free booze and give them more permits for casinos in exchange for Democrat party donations.

[FormerACLUmember]

I am part native-American.

I have spent time on a reservation amidst hopeless drug/alcohol addictions and third rate veterinary care, oops I meant Obama-style government health care.

Obama’s recession is a profound economic depression on the reservations.

Obama acknowledged that the federal government had a history of making promises to Native Americans then failing to fulfill its word.

What year are we in? 1890?

[Man50D]

Anyone born in this country is a native American. Meet our needs BO!

[Carley]

Forgot our troops, didn’t he!

Translation: America sucks. But I’m here to make good.

>“We’re not going to go through the motions and pay tribute to each other, then furl up the flags and go our separate ways,” Obama said.

Isn't that ideally what they are supposed to want?

To be left alone?

President Obama hosted a major gathering of the American Indian Nation. The President spoke for almost an hour on his future plans for increasing every Native American’s present standard of living. He referred to his career as a U.S. Senator, how he had said “YES” for every Indian issue that came to his desk for approval. Although Obama was vague on the details of his plan, he seemed most enthusiastic about his future ideas for helping his “red sisters and brothers”.

At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented the President with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name -”Walking Eagle”. The proud President then departed in his motorcade, waving to the crowds. A news reporter later inquired to the groups chiefs of how they came to select of the new name given to the President.
They explained that “Walking Eagle” is a name given to a bird so full of sh#t it can no longer fly!

[Slings and Arrows]

All hail the great Chief Walking Eagle.

What a load of BS! The native Americans are just migrated Europeans, just like the rest of us! Actually they are migrated Eurasians who crossed a frozen Bering Strait and squatted on the land also.

My children are half native American and in no way feel victiized by anybody because they were taught REAL history and not the socialized version being pimped in public schools today playing blame and victimization games with the heads of our children.

[Slings and Arrows]

Beat me by 8 seconds!

[MortMan]

Gee, the federal gubbermint has done such a wonderful job of “taking care of their needs” in the past...

Government dependency is a deadly addiction.

Then he congratulated them on their assistance with the environment by never coming up with the wheel. And he praised their endangered species work preserving headlice.
