When all is said and done, more is said than done.

Hmm

That should read "Obama opens new era with 'bribes'"...

Cosmo

More "Dog and Pony" show!

Van Jones (to indian tribes)

"NO MORE BROKEN TREATIES... GIVE THEM THE WEALTH, GIVE THEM THE WEALTH, GIVE THEM THE WEALTH!!!"...

Heaven forbid Obama has respectful dialogue with anyone! All hail Glenn Beck! I am sad for the state of this state.

I don't understand

how Indian tribes can be separate nations and yet their members are citizens of this country, with citizens benefits. Looks to me as though it ought to be one or the other.

If we have 500 different nations within our borders, we will be more divided up than any other area of the world. Look at the terrible tribal problems in Africa and tell me dividing people by tribes is a good thing. Many Indian tribes were bitter enemies of each other and were frequently at war with one another, long before Europeans settled in America.

I know I wouldn't like to live as my ancestors did 300 years ago, and I don't expect that most Indians would really enjoy it much either.
