Obama To Make First Visit As President To Indian Country

Posted by | June 5, 2014 10:22 | Filed under: Politics Top Stories


President Obama will make his first visit as president to Indian country when he goes to a Native American reservation in North Dakota next week.

In an opinion piece published Thursday by an online tribal newspaper, Obama announced that he and first lady Michelle Obama plan to visit Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in Cannon Ball. Obama said he wants to hear firsthand about the challenges Native Americans face and plans to announce new initiatives during the visit to grow Indian economies.

“The history of the United States and tribal nations is filled with broken promises,” Obama said. “But I believe that during my administration, we’ve turned a corner together.”

Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., said the Obamas will visit on June 13.

      The President is not a Muslim.

      The fact that you start your post with a lie demonstrates only that the rest of it is pure bullsh*t as well.
