President BARACK OBAMA was invited to address a major gathering of the American
Indian Nation two weeks ago in upstate New York .

He spoke for almost an hour about his plans for increasing every Native American's
present standard of living. He referred to his time as a U.S. Senator and how he
had voted for every Native American issue that came to the floor of the Senate.

Although President Obama was vague about the details of his plans, he seemed
most enthusiastic and spoke eloquently about his ideas for helping his "red sisters and brothers."
At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented Obama with a plaque inscribed
with his new Indian name, "Walking Eagle." The proud President then departed in his motorcade to a fundraiser, waving to the crowds.
A news reporter later asked the group of chiefs how they came to select the new
name they had given to the President.
They explained that "Walking Eagle" is the name given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly.
