You seem to know a lot about the Jews and Israel but man you are lacking on Indian Affairs. Stick to your area of expertise.

[fish hawk]

How much land do you have?

Obama is NOT well-liked among the native American community.

As an American Indian (injun is a “n” word)I marvel at the deep prejudices that come up in almost every article that has anything to do with Indians. And some of you wonder why 95% of Native Americans vote Democrat. I could go down through this thread later and make a list but what's the use. If you guys can't see them , I wont point them out. Funny thing is, that if this were about Blacks no one would dare state what they do because they would fear reprisal and maybe even get kicked off FR. But those old drunk lazy Indian, it's okay to crack the old joke. What the hell they are only one half of one percent of the vote anyway.

OK folks. It’s now time for picking Obama’s honorary Indian name to be bestowed upon him at this Council meeting.

Diane Humetewa Probably has a lot to do with that.

“I took Indian Law at ASU and one thing that surprised me was how much jurisdiction the federal government has in Indian Country—that means that the US Attorney (especially for Arizona) needs to have extensive experience in Indian Law.

That’s why there was widespread excitement in the ASU Indian Law Department when President Bush appointed ASU Indian Law Center graduate Diane Humetewa as US Attorney. Not only did Diane know Indian Law, but she was Native American, and some folks felt it was a nice touch to have a highly qualified native American woman working with Arizona’s 23 Indian Tribes.

Now the Obama Administration has replaced Humetewa with a 46 year old white guy who doesn’t have experience with Indian Law, but is well connected in Democratic circles—former Napolitano Chief of Staff Dennis Burke.

Burke will replace Diane Humetewa, who resigned in July after failing to get an endorsement to retain her job from Arizona’s House Democrats.

Humetewa, the first female Native American to be named U.S. attorney, was appointed by the Bush administration.

The move is, of course, purely political. No one is claiming that Burke is somehow more qualified than Humetewa—he’s just better connected in a Democratic Administration.

But Wait a second. I thought that one of the worst failings of the evil Bush Administration was politicizing the Justice Department?”

Nah, he just wants to get a line on tax-free cigarettes.

Been done I think, weren’t the Indians on F Troop the Fuhgowee tribe? That’s what a friend claims...

[eaglestar]

SEE I HAVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS! I MET WITH THE GAYS & THE TRIBES!

[eaglestar]

Is that photo before or after the meeting?

Close! In that era of TV, I think any F-word insinuation would be censored & not used. I think the Indian tribe on F-Troop was the WhrTheHekowee tribe (not sure of spelling). At least that's how I remember it. Great show & lots of laughs by the way!!!

It goes back even earlier than that. To Obama’s days as a senator. Plus, let’s face it. Electing Obama may assuage white guilt, but that’s not a disease the native American suffers from.

[skepsel]

I believe you’re right and it was a lot of fun!

[W-Girl]

SEE I HAVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS! I MET WITH THE GAYS & THE TRIBES!
+++++++++++

Meanwhile, the Generals wait and wait for a decision !!

Meanwhile, the bombs in Iran get made !!

Meanwhile, more JOBS are lost !!

Meanwhile, the interest on the debt goes up !!

Does this idiot of a POTUS even have a clue about anything ?? Oh right, he is the Nobel Peace Prize winner !!

Wonder what 0's got up his sleeve here.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Shouldn't be much confusion about that.

Obama will organize every ethnic minority he can to support his personal disassembly of America.

Why?

He will promise them historic justice, white America must be blamed and held responsible for the alleged sins of their fore-fathers. Its historic justice, the calling card of every fascist in modern human history. And the money from federal coffers will flow accordingly.

And there will be "Calls to Action."

If the conservatives of our nation issued similar calls to action, we would be branded "right wing extremists " by Homeland Security.

Obama is stacking his deck.No good will come of it.And FOX NEWS should call it like it is.
