DailyPBO: The President & The Standing Rock Sioux Reservation – June 2014

The crowd to President Obama: “We love you President Obama! You’re our hero!”

President Obama: “I love you back!”

Obama became only the fourth sitting president to visit an Indian reservation. Attending with the First Lady, it was a truly inspiring event at the Cannon Ball Pow Wow Grounds in Cannon Ball, North Dakota. The Native American community was bursting with pride over the president’s visit and when he spoke Lakota during his speech, they were completely moved. It was a wonderful day for a community that never (and I mean NEVER) gets the respect they deserve. Bravo, Mr. President.

Only the fourth? Of ALL the sitting presidents that have come and gone? Dang.
