Perfect SPEECH! I im glad someone want to help the Native American people out because its has been pretty pathetic what the government has done to then.
If we build a little more on each reservation, more Natives can have jobs. right now most reservations are not even small towns, they are isolated slums. That needs to be fixed, without ruining our way of life, and traditions.
Thank you Obama. It was very humble of him and honourable for him respond in this fashion. And is correct with his information and demographics. Cool. It is nice to see a candidate acknowledge Native people with education and without ingorance. But as Obama helps Native people...I understand that he helps ALL people. Thats why he is the best!
Thank you, Obama. Finally, for first nations to be even acknowledged and with such honest respect. I never remember any president or candidate speaking like this and offering the notion that the president of the United States, not the BIA, should handle and meet with tribal leaders and to respect Indian nations in the same way as other nations.
America!: INHERITING THE PRESIDENCY because of your family connections, wealth and influence is almost never a good thing, surely. It is why the world got George W- a man so spectacularly unsuitable and unqualified to be president that it would be laughable if it wasn't tragic.
Don't let Hillary inherit the presidency. She wouldn't be here without the influence, wealth and profile of her husband.
INHERITING the presidency puts substandard people into positions they'd never have reached alone.
Yes, he did answer the question. He said he's going to hold "an annual summit with Native American Leaders" wherein he will be involved directly. As for his specific plans, feel free to go to his website and there's a downloadable PDF file there entitled "The Blueprint for Change - Barack Obama's Plan for America." They are the most detailed, realistic and thought-through plan anyone has ever seen from any candidate.
OBAMA IS 100% CLASS , what a great idea for the Native issue, I can't believe no one thought about that before . We should do the same in Canada.............
i dunno. i'm undecided. they're politicians!!!! what politician is going to say NO to a possible voter/voting block's face?
the only candidate to actively talk about and had a seriously viable plan with experience was richardson. but now thats outta the picture.
i'm not trying to say don't support him, or am i endorsing hillary. but on native issues(and all issues for that matter)...... be weary of the snakes in the grass.
Hi there. I completely understand your concerns. I have been following Obama for awhile. And I think that he is the first politician who is really a citizen at heart first. I think that he is a sincere man who has fought hard for civil rights of people of all backgrounds, and is going to continue to fight hard. Have faith in this man.
thats what they all say. WHen clinton was president he created a cabinet level position for Indian affairs. Bush got rid of that. I think the new Clinton wants that back.
I dunno how to feel on either of them concerning native stuff. I know obama doesn't like gaming, clinton does. None of them came to the Prez on the Rez. I think Clinton has more experience and contact with Natives cuz of her dude.
thats right native Americans have it bad in their own country it is so so so sad..the way the true original Americans get treated it needs to be stopped we need justice & equality for ALL NO human is more superior than the other.
I am an independent. Today I went door to door in Massachusetts and phoned up voters to get them to come out and vote for Obama. Youtube is great for watching the videos and getting inspired, but don't stop there -- GO AND HELP OUT because there are millions of unreached voters out there who just need to see a FIRED UP individual who cares deeply for their country -- and nothing is more powerful than that for changing people's minds. Be the change you want in this world -- GO HELP OUT!
I love the fact that he sincerly addressed the Native Americans and will do right by them. You're in my prayers Obama. Si se puede! Yes We Can! Obama 2008
Excellent! This is the first time I've heard any candidate speak about actually meeting with Native Americans, with a plan for upliftment! Can't wait till he becomes President!
I think if this guy gets in Millions of White Americans will flee for other English speaking nations like The uk,Austrilla or Canada.Everyone in my family already applied for dule citiszenship If he gets in I would rather join the taliban
Way to go, Barack! The level of sensitivity and understanding he shows toward racial issues makes you realize how much this has been lacking in our politicians for too long. I read his first book, and I felt like I was having a conversation with one of my good friends.
What is unique about how Barack wants to help native Americans? He offers them a direct ear to the next President of the United States of America instead of sending liasons and promises. NO President in the history of America has ever asked for Native Americans to visit on a yearly basis so that the President can hear issues up-front and personal. America, if we let this one go then we deserve never to be heard from again.
Obama is THE MAN who can really bring change. I have watched him for a long time. WE NEED A FRESH NEW FACE in the White House. It is going to take a real leader to change and FIX all the things Bush has done. Think about it, Bush has not done ONE GOOD thing for America in EIGHT YEARS. He has done enough damage to America and the world to actually be considered a CRIMINAL! Now if that man spoke to Bush George would think he was from Iraq lol..
Wow. So inspiring. Barack Obama is such a visionary. He should definetly move into the white house. And he's always so prepared with a policy for any type of question. Hell, I bet you 50 bucks he would be ready for a question about the writer's strike, or whether Ronald Reagan was our first asian president. XD Go Obama!
How inspiring. Barack Obama is such a visionary. And it's amasing how he's always so prepared for any type of question. Hell, he'd probably be ready if someone asked him about what we should do about the writer's strike. Or, alligator skin purses.
Barack Obama i like you so much in 4 more years if u are running, you will get my vote i like your plans and everything you say goooooooooooooooooooooooo Obama
Oprah is coming to Cali to campaign, L.A. Times endorsed Obama, and the polls are closing quickly. To think a week ago Hillary had a 20 point lead in most states and now even in New York who lead is decreasing.
If you look at 1:45 his ears kinda look like George Bush's ears!
