Tribal Leader: Obama Is the 'First American Indian President'

Michael Warren

President Barack Obama spoke to the White House Tribal Nations Conference of Native American groups at the Interior Department Wednesday. The chairman of the conference, Brian Cladoosby of the Swinomish Nation, reportedly suggested that Obama is the first "American Indian" president.

"Think about it for a second," Cladoosby said, according to the pool report. "The president loves basketball. He has an Indian name, he knows what it's like to be poor and he hasn't forgotten where he came from. And his theme song is 'Hail to the Chief.' I think he definitely qualifies as the first American Indian president."

Earlier pool reports stated Obama was greeted by the group enthusiastically, including a shout of "four more years" from the audience. The president touted his adminstration's efforts to "[expand] economic opportunities" and encouraged Congress to support Native American small businesses.

Update: According to a transcript of Obama's remarks, there may be something to the claim. The president memorialized a recently deceased leader of the Crow Nation, Sonny Black Eagle. "Sonny Black Eagle adopted me into the Crow Nation during my 2008 campaign," Obama said.

The only native blood in Obama is East African.

So I guess Lizzie Warren is the second American Indian Senator? (After Ben Nighthorse, of course)

“Sonny Black Eagle adopted me into the Crow Nation during my 2008 campaign,”

Jim Beckwourth was also adopted into the CROW tribe. He was later poisoned by the same people.

Anyone notice that most of the Indian tribes voted for Obama, except in Oklahoma.

He wants to put all of us on Reservations: regions of forced government dependency, with schools committed to changing our culture.

The Sioux (of which I am a member) despise the Crow. They were thieves and traitors who scouted for Custer.

This is great, now we have jerkballs making up their own delusions. Now we don’t need the media any more to promulgate total idiocy. I find this refreshing, especially coming on the anniversary of Fermi’s successful chain reaction in CP-1, the reactor built under the stadium stands in Chicago in 1941. We are now self-breeding, self deluding beings. This is so much more efficient than the old way, and think of all the bumper stickers that don’t have to be printed. Yep, it’s green! Got that going for it, too!
