Hey kids! Look how America sucks.
“Obama Praises Indian Chief Who Killed U.S. General (Sitting Bull)”
Now, is anybody surprised???? Custer was a “white” guy. No surprised.
What teleprompted him to write it?
Too funny!
The book will no doubt be way over-priced, but will gain in value with each dose of ridicule it gets. I’d rather read “Black Sambo.”
obama sucks as president and in the back seat of a limo... riding with larry sinclair.

While Sitting Bull was the leader of the Hunkpapa Lakota Souix war chief, he did not lead the battle against General Custer.
Crazy Horse did.
Last I checked, American Indians were US citizens, and since when is it bad to celebrate an American who stood up to a lying and cheating federal government who sends troops after women and children?
Where I come from everyone claims Cherokee blood, and knowing their history gives you a well-founded distrust of the federal government.
There were good and bad people on both sides of the indian wars. And they have all gone on to meet their maker.
I’m glad 0bmam thinks so much of himself - becuase the US public does not!
Custer was a Lt. Colonel when he died, and Sitting Bull was more an observer than a participant. No one knows who killed Custer but he might have been shot crossing the Little Big Horn before the route up Last Stand Hill.
But can you IMAGINE the firestorm of criticism from the leftist press if George Bush had written and published and SOLD a children's book, while he was still President?
There are no reader reviews as of yet, since the book hasn't been published. But I imagine it's a piece of narcissistic junk.
REFEREE: Captain Custer, this is Captain Sitting Bull. Captain Sitting Bull, this is Captain Custer. Call the toss, Cus. He calls heads; it’s tails. You lose the toss. Huh!
What’ll you do there, Sit? Okay, Captain Sitting Bull says that you and your boys have to wait at the bottom of the hill while him and all the Indians in the world ride right down on you.

Hmmm...I wonder what Obama’s “Indian name” would be?
I’m not going to criticize him for having respect for Sitting Bull.
” Obama’s publisher says he’s not planning interviews or events for the book. “
The text does not even remotely resemble Barry’s usual non teleprompter incoherent ramblings.
Another book obviously written by someone else that Barry would be incapable of discussing.
Barry claims on page 13 of Dreams From Bill Ayers that an ancestor on his typical white grandmother’s side
was full-blooded Cherokee.
And not only is he related to a decorated Union soldier, but,
also to Jefferson Davis.
Custer was a complicated historical character, who was neither the baby killing coward which PC historians paint him to be, nor was he a heroic martyr as he is painted by some romantic historians.
His good points were that he was rightfully contemptuous of the U.S. Grant administration's policies which sought to placate the Sioux and other more aggressive tribes at the expense of the Mandan, Hidatsa and other peaceful tribes who had been decimated by Siouxian aggression.
On the other hand, he made little attempt to distinguish between the warlike aggressive Sioux tribes who had precipitated the Minnesota Massacres of 1862 and those who had merely been passive participants spurred on by starvation conditions of corrupt Indian agents or even refused to participate at all and greatly mitigated what would have been a far higher toll of Minnesota settlers by warning them and getting them out of harm's way.
To Custer, all Sioux and her allies were the enemy, including women and children. This clouded his judgment. He also made the tactical mistake of not waiting for his full force to group before launching his ill-fated attack at Little Big Horn.
Sitting Bull himself eventually was persuaded to lay down his arms and landed a gig at Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. This would never have happened had he been the bloodthirsty savage that many at the time sought to portray him.
Sadly, he had a tragic end being killed at Wounded Knee some 14 years after Little Big Horn while leading a peaceful protest against BIA police.
Quite a strange headline to your post.
Let Obama be Obama!!
“Obama Praises Indian Chief Who Killed U.S. General (Sitting Bull)”
When will we stop extrapolating things into idiotic headlines? It makes our side look ridiculous.
Did sitting Bull himself kill a general? NO. Did he order a general killed? NO. A general was killed in a battle against Sitting Bulls forces. It wasn’t personal and he was not directly responsible.
Leader of the US says this on the one hand, and on the other, I just watched part of a Vietnamese soap opera where a kid proudly wears a T-shirt with a portrait of Custer on the front.
“They say we massacred him, but he would have done the same thing to us had we not defended ourselves and fought to the last.”
