As a member of the Blackfeet Tribe, I am proud to have posted this video. :) Although I will have to add, he is an adopted member of my tribe's sworn enemy, the Crow... of course, the Republicans are also an enemy tribe as well. I am confused. :)

4. Glad to do it
You're the second person living in Tucson I've seen today, there are lots of Tucson DUers it seems. I have never went to a meetup though. :)

2. His commitment is very important to me - a non-Native.
I want to do what's right, and so does Obama.

And Bill, gotta reach across that aisle to your Crow brothers and sisters. :7

7. there is a lot of hope
Indians are very excited about Obama. The Blackfeet were the people who put Jon Tester over the top in MT two years ago. My home county was the last one being counted. MT reservations give Barack a fighting chance in that state. They haven't felt like that since JFK visited the state when he ran for president.

3. I think the GOP is a far worse enemy of both, so your enemy's enemy is your friend :)

10. I would be down with that

But my tribe isn't too quick with the adoption stuff. Our elders think some tribes adopt too easily nowadays. I wish we would have gotten him first for sure though! People are totally excited about him back home, lol. And my dad and the uncle I talk the most frequently with love Biden! My uncle used to be Mike Mansfield's senate page and Biden is a Mansfield protege' so he thinks Biden is like the greatest guy ever, lol.
