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.
I knew someone would post that!
Ah, yes.
Chief Steaming Panty-Load of the Lying Dog tribe.
Brian Cladoosby talks like he has been at the fire water again.
If being Indian was important, then the media would have noticed that Governor Palin’s husband, children, and grand child, are all tribal members, instead the media has sometimes tried to portray her as a leader of white racial purity.
I even had an internet argument with the writer of such a news story. The publisher wanted to print my responses, which I eagerly agreed to, but the writer blocked it.

The only part this idiot got right is that Obma likes Basketball.
Obama was never poor, he attended a prestigious expensive school.
Maybe Obama has never forgotten where he came from—but the rest of us don’t know.
Hail to the Chief is not this crapheads theme song it is a tune played for all Presidents.
Well, Thelma and Louise were driving a Thunderbird so I guess this all wraps up somehow, Karma-wise.
i think his indian name is two dogs .......
I must have been unknowingly prophesying this afternoon. I was talking to someone about Obummer and Mooochelle, and I referred to her as his SQUAW. Looks like I was correct. What’s HER tribe, I wonder?
Frowns Like Mad Buffalo
Walking Eagle (too full of sh*t to fly)
Still, history repeats, and Great Half-white Father speaks with forked tongue...
I have a piece of that reactor. (a slice of graphite block embedded in lucite)
Chief Steaming Turd of the Dog Log Tribe...
Billy Clinton was an honorary member of the Cherokee tribe out of Tahlequah OK, kind of like Ward Churchill.
