Barack becomes native american!
The Illinois senator who is leading rival Hillary Clinton in their race for the party's presidential nomination, joined the Crow Nation, a tribe of some 12,100 members in Montana, taking on a native name and new parents in a traditional ceremony.

Senator Obama was adopted by Hartford and Mary Black Eagle and given a name which means "one who helps all people of this land".

"I like my new name, Barack Black Eagle," he said.

"That is a good name."

The state is home to some 60,000 American Indians, making them a key swing vote.

Senator Obama said he would appoint a Native American advisor to his senior White House staff.

Indians have the right to vote federally?

That live on reservations?

I thought they were considered sovereign nations?

I find it rather discriminatory and offensive that they use the name "Black Eagle".

A White House administration having a Native American as an advisor on Native American issues? Who woulda thunk it? Bush probably appointed the CEO of Jim Beam as advisor on native american affairs.

Good for Barack.

You probably think Iraq is a free, democratic, soverieign nation as well.

You have misconceptions on a lot of things it seems.
