Indian Voters Send Obama and Black Caucus Message: Get Off Our Back!Native Americans across the country are getting fed up with the double talk coming from presidential candidate Barack Obama saying he supports the sovereign status of tribal governments while supporting the Congressional Black Caucus on several bills that include terminating federal recognition of the Oklahoma Cherokee Nation.
The Native American Housing and Self Determination Act provides Federal assistance for Native American tribes while also recognizing their right to tribal self-governance. Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. This is where political double talk gets it's meaning. While campaigning, Obama tells Native Americans he supports their full sovereignty tribal nation rights while supporting the CBC blocking funding and calling for the termination of an Indian Nation.Comment: Just because Obama is a member of the caucus doesn't mean he supports or even knows about their actions. I'm guessing he's a little preoccupied with running for president to think about the Cherokee right now.

Um, er, uh, the word these Barak HUSSEIN Obama detractors wanted was -- DISPARITY! Anyone with half a brain MUST be able to see that he is no different from any Caucasian politician BECAUSE ALL HE WANTS IS TO GET ELECTED! Change? My ass...

Why don't you learn to spell, Russ? You misspelled Obama's first name again. It's Barack, not Barak.
You said nothing about my posting an article critical of Obama. You must've forgotten that you claimed I never post anything negative about him. Oops.
Obama's different from your candidate, Clinton, in at least one way. He's not willing to sacrifice the Democrats' chances to win. She apparently is.

In old-style journalism, someone you do not respect you also misspell. And Barak HUSSEIN Obama certainly go no respect from Pennsylvania's white, blue-collar, and religious voters, now did he?

While you're at it, why don't you learn to type? You wrote "go" instead of "got" and "bes" instead of "best."
So you're so unprofessional a writer that you'll spell words incorrectly if you don't like the subject? I guess that explains why you haven't written hundreds of articles for demanding editors at national publications, as I have.
Obama did about as well as expected in a state with a history of blue-collar prejudice. Especially with your candidate Clinton taking a page out of Karl Rove's playbook to smear him.
With her lack of concern for the party's prospects, she ought to join Joe Lieberman and become a Republican. Because she still has almost no chance of winning the Democratic nomination.
