Obama Praises Indian Chief Who Killed U.S. General (Sitting Bull)
fox ^ | 11/15/10

Posted on 11/15/2010 10:22:04 AM PST by Nachum

President Obama's picture book for kids, Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters (Knopf, $17.99), pays tribute to 13 Americans whose traits he sees in his own children.

The 31-page book, for kids ages 3 and up, is filled with lyrical questions for Malia, 12, and Sasha, 9, opening with, "Have I told you lately how wonderful you are?"

The book, out Tuesday, is illustrated with Loren Long's paintings of the Obama girls and their dog, Bo, as well as the 13 famous Americans as kids and grown-ups.

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.”

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.

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.

Actually, I'm not surprised that he would choose a string of politically correct figures to celebrate.

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.

Another salute to NObama’s unknown & hidden ‘education’.

He doesn’t even know the details about Custer.

I went to a one-room school thru 7th grade. I knew Custer was NOT a General.

Hmmm...I wonder what Obama’s “Indian name” would be?

It would appear that what Zero doesn’t know is far more massive than what he knows. I mean, how much room does it take in a brain to say, “I’m the messiah! So follow me wherever I go. I go in circles.”

Those indians were not Americans, and how did they treat our POWs?

I am inclined to agree. The Fedgove never does anything good for the people it just protects Big Money through their puppets in Washington...
