Obama Promises to Improve Relations With Native Americans

[Gorilder]

Oh Obama you and your speech writers just like to lie through your teeth to everyone... Well you'll be voted out and maybe we can get a total overhaul of all branches of Government...cause lets be real on this its not just the executive branch its the legislative and judicial branches as well, how sad... hopefully someone will get the system working again get the gov outa the way and help Native American nations by getting better infrastructure and a better way to compete with surrounding cities

[nordstern1981]

sorry...just noticed that I misspelled some words below

[nordstern1981]

"(...) so that you can be full partners in the American economy and so your children and grandchildren can haven an equal shot in pursuing the American dream (...)"

...it really irritates me that the government is taking this from a purely economical type of view as it seems. Sure, everyone wants to improve his/her economical situation. But what about real support for funding for languages/cultural autonomy? What about officially supported cultural integrity and autonomy for Native Americans?

[georgesorosisgay1]

has obama kept his promises to the native american indians? I'm not indians so i do not know, but if someone could tell me if he did that would be good, thanks. INDIANS ARE AWESOME!

[helldog134]

all i hear is lies ....

[ITSONLYMEWATCHING]

Really Obama because that is what you did?Throw up your arms and go away.

[ITSONLYMEWATCHING]

OBAMA IS A LIAR!

[Choctawu]

So far this has not happened regarding the Choctaw Nation NW Florida region.

If you voted for Obama to prove you aren’t a RACIST, you need to vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you’re not an IDIOT

[MousieLuvLette]

what a dick



[ironman83172]

This is shit most of us plains natives and as I crow,Cheyenne,and Navajo child I know that next weekend is percap that's half and then the fucking water supply between crow agency and lame deer won't be finished until about 2015 WTF Obama

[brandi7ish]

As a Lakota indian, I am trying hard not to be a HATER, but he's the closest I have come. He puts out these "scripts" and then he never did a stupid thing to help them. These reservations are slums now...no running water, schools have closed from lack of funding. He's a liar and cheat and that's all he'll ever be. He takes from the poor and needy to fill pockets of the rich!

[beone011]

Obama needs the millions of illegal mexicans to vote for him, He dont care about Native Americans. Democrate and republican POLITICIANS need illegal immigrant votes, they dont care about Native Americans. (Some states like New Mexico give illegal mexicans drivers licenses then a path to vote then they organize and vote). Get involved and VOTE out career POLITICIANS Your unemployed because of 12 million illegals stealing your jobs

[theOSBOURNES]

Obama Said that we are getting some Money in the summer of 2011, and if so me and my Eko (Osage for Grandma) and Grandpa are taking a cruise to Alaska.

[nywg]

The Reason I didn't Mention the Mexican groups is because Tribal Policy in North America does not cover Mexican Natives.

therefore The Mexican Natives have a whole different structure.

[chiefcalf]

Wow another liar!

[littlemizbecca]

and how much of this did he actually do?

[nywg]

Sovereignty supersedes Treaty Law, therefore treaties don't define sovereignty.

I mention this because Presidents don't talk about that detail.

Be Proud, All Native People of this Land and Canada You are better than those who told Your Parents and Grandparents not to speak Your languages. 

[soymiguelalejandro23]

@nywg YOU FORGOT TO MENTION OUR RELATIONS IN MEJICO!

[vmutuma]

I think it's about time that a Native American should run for President!

[darius777ful]

were comanches there?

[billtheman100]

ofcoarse natives suffer from diabetes there diet consist of meat and meat has more fat than olive garden! and combine fat with sugar diabetes.just go vegan.bless you all.

[april231953]

Has he done anything yet to make a change, or is he just another liar from Washinton? Walking Eagle speaks with forked tongue

[N8tiveSpartin]

He's just said that so he can get our vote

[N8tiveSpartin]

Wow @ 0:18 I live right down the street from that guy

[MrNative1953]

Excactly it's about time any president is taking time to support and help the native american people! I believe that or at least I want to believe that he may indeed be hated by the United States of America by some by can and may be loved for the Native American People for what he is capable of doing in helping the Indian people!!!! Lets see what happens next!

[april231953]

@MrNative1953 Has he done anything to make you life better, or was this all just talk on his part? He has been lying to all of the rest of us so far,I just want to see if he has made anything happen.I'm tired of all the lies coming from D.C., we need to take power from them and give it back to the states. Local govts. care more about local people and are more responsive...

[thunderbirdscarlett]

MY MOMMA SAYS OBAMA!

[april231953]

@thunderbirdscarlett Does she still? Has he doen anything? Or ae his words hollow? 

[thunderbirdscarlett]

@april231953

My Momma Says Obama and we need to back him up before the TEA PARTY EXPRESS and THE PEACE TRAIN crash and Glen Beck & Sara Palin are running the country..."Ask not what Obama can do 4 you,ask what you can do 4 Obama!

[april231953]

@thunderbirdscarlett  Glad youlike him. Has your life changed in anyway, has he made improvements in your life or in your Mommas, or is everything still the same?

[TheLuleece]

here's hoping....

[april231953]

@TheLuleece Did HOPE work?

[Hikaru2g]

It's about time and I'm very proud of President Obama is taking this step to help Native Americans.

[tfrenn]

@Hikaru2g Obama is fooling you, he is an Uncle Tom subsidized by Wall Street, he lied about Iraq and he is lying about improving the conditions of Indians

[april231953]

@tfrenn Hasn't Washington always lied about helping people? They ruined the black family, and as far as I know there is still crushing poverty on Indian Reservations. Helping people is not what govts are supposed to be about, and they don't do it well. Glad to see you understand, wish others did too.

[april231953]

@Hikaru2g Did it work?

[TSMK900]

@Hikaru2g Presidents lie.....Obama won't do shit for the Native Americans....

[Hikaru2g]

@TSMK900, Well if you say "Pres. Obama didn't do crap for Native Americans" then why did he make the Federal Gov't pay $1.5 billion dollars that the Fed. Gov't stole from the Native Americans? This was on headline news kid

[TSMK900]

@Hikaru2g Really? Well, you should see what they did to the native american lands...thier turning it into a waste dump. To the natives, this land is as sacred as the bible is to the Christians.

[AutomatikZ187]

@Hikaru2g fucking bullshit help? he didnt fucking help none but his own fucking people ...fucking piece of shit he a bitch

[ITSONLYMEWATCHING]

@Hikaru2g SInce when??

[cbarsonfire]

@Hikaru2g

What has Obama doe for the Cherokee people. This is more talk from those who ruined the Cherokee Nation.

[SouthP17CD]

All done for future votes, don't drink the Kool-Aid people. If you want reparations, almost every group of people would be owed them.

[JLR47]

Grateful to our President....he brings integrity and dignity back to the Whitehouse!

[april231953]

@JLR47  Has he really? Hhas he made any changes for the Tribes? What has gotten better?
