Obama: Columbus Day a Time to ‘Reflect on Tragic Burdens Tribal Communities Bore’

 In his presidential proclamation   recognizing Columbus Day issued last week, President Barack Obama said the holiday was a day to “celebrate our heritage as people born of many histories and traditions” and a time to “reflect on the tragic burdens tribal communities bore” since the explorer arrived on the North American continent in 1492.
“Today, we recall the courage and the innovative spirit that carried Christopher Columbus and his crew from a Spanish port to North America, and we celebrate our heritage as a people born of many histories and traditions,” the Oct. 5 proclamation says.

Are you retarded? Hes talking about the indians, who we killed, tortured and stole from.

How does that make him communist? Do you even know what that word means?

You should say words you dont know the meaning to.
