What do you think when you are related to four tribes and the most assistance you can get is a loan? Where did the 26 billion go from Indian gaming just last year?

Wish all you RNC bigots would go butter your burnt toast elsewhere. Or on second thought - keep it up - so everyone can be totally disgusted with you.

Many white People have Native American blood as do Blacks so Being from Kansas the whites of Obama's heritage probably have Native American blood. It's Not a Big deal! JOBS lost to Clinton and Bush Favorite NAFTA trade deals are! UNnecessary Oil Wars like Iraq (killing thousands of soldiers and maiming countless others)are! Dubious rationales for outrageous oil Prices when present and past U.S. leaders deal privately with the Oil Countries - are! Go get drunker!

Having been associated with several indian tribes over the span of twenty years on the construction supply side of building on their reservations I have seen too much waste of U.S.Tax monies by the tribes.

They insist on having indian workers on all projects that are funded by the U.S. Government. These 'token workers' usually dont show up and when they do they are useless because they are too drunk to work, but yet get paid anyway the 'pravaling wage' because its in the 'contract'. often times these 'token workers' out number the real workers 2 to 1.

Then comes the time to get paid for work completed. the indian tribe must 'sign off' that the work has been done. The indians are so use to holding up payment untill a 'kick-back'(extortion) is paid by the contractor that its almost a break even situation for the construction company and the indian tribal council pockets some more 'free money'.

I dont trust indians and I sure the hell dont trust Obama, he fits right in with them.

OBAMA: "I WILL CHANGE THE COUNTRY AND I WILL CHANGE THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT TODAY! I WILL MAKE IT SO THE WORLD WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH MORE TERRORISM AND TERRORIST ACTIONS AND THREATS BY BEGINNING A DIALOGUE WITH SUCH SAVAGE AND UNCIVIL ANIMALS SUCH AS THESE! I WILL JUST GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT - THEN MAYBE THEY WILL "JUST" GO AWAY! WE WILL PAY THEM WITH ROYALTY TO "JUST" LEAVE US ALONE! I DO NOT CARE THAT THEY "JUST" WANT US ALL DEAD! I WILL APPEASE THEM IN ANY WAY THAT I CAN SO THAT I MIGHT UNDERSTAND "JUST" UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS THAT MAKES THEM LOATHE US SO MUCH! I WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE FIRST MAN TO BE SMART ENOUGH TO "JUST" GIVE IN TO TERRORISTS, TERRORISM, AND TERRORIST SUPPORTING NATIONS WHO WOULD "JUST" AS SOON KILL INNOCENT CIVILIANS TO GET WHAT THEY WANT! MY GREAT "CHANGE" OF MAKING AMERICA WEAK AND SUPPORTING TERROR IS "JUST" AROUND THE CORNER! AND I WILL HAVE ALL OF THE DEMOCRAT IGNORANT FOOLS WHO VOTED FOR ME TO THANK! BUT FIRST I MUST HAVE DIALOGUE WITH ALL TERRORISTS AND TERRORIST SUPPORTING COUNTRIES! I WAS RAISED AS A MUSLIM! MY FATHER WAS A MUSLIM! I KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH MUSLIM TERRORISTS! I HAVE A GREAT EMPATHY FOR THEIR STRUGGLE AND I WILL REACH OUT MY HAND WITH AN OLIVE BRANCH INSTEAD OF WEAPONS FOR OUR PROTECTION! I WILL "JUST" GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT, THE ONLY THING THAT THEY WANT - THE DEATH OF AMERICA AND ISRAEL! THEN MAYBE, "JUST" MAYBE, THE WORLD WILL "NO LONGER" HAVE TO DEAL WITH TERRORISM! IT WILL BE A "GREAT CHANGE!""
