(CNSNews) – In a proclamation marking Columbus Day issued by the White House on Friday, President Barack Obama said that while the federal holiday recognizes the accomplishments of Italian explorer Christopher Columbus and his discovery of the New World, it is marred by mistreatment of indigenous people.
“Though these early travels expanded the realm of European exploration, to many they also marked a time that forever changed the world for the indigenous peoples of North America,” Obama wrote. “Previously unseen disease, devastation, and violence were introduced to their lives -- and as we pay tribute to the ways in which Columbus pursued ambitious goals -- we also recognize the suffering inflicted upon Native Americans and we recommit to strengthening tribal sovereignty and maintaining our strong ties.”

Same thing happened when Kenyans came to this country I suspect.
...and slaves brought to this country by BLACK slave owners.
And he is about to bring 200,000 filthy sick uneducated Muslims to America on us taxpayers dollars. Obama is a embarrassment to our Country.
we will probably be seeing a lot more 7-11s popping up soon
And the muslim brought disease, war, division, kaos and bankruptcy, and the list goes on. It is unbelievable that this POS has the audacity to say anything bad about anybody. I can't stand to look at him or even listen to his lying voice.
Kinda like you've done, huh, 'Bammy?
