The dark -skinned contender for the post of US President from the Democratic Party Barack Obama became an honorary member of the Indian tribe and promised in case of winning the presidential election in November to pay increased attention to the problems of the indigenous people of North America. The Senator from Illinois was “adopted” by members of the Crow tribe in Montana - Hartford and Mary “Black Eagle”, reports Reuters.
Obama received the name "Barack Black Eagle", which means "the one who helps all people on this earth." He promised that if he became president, he would include a special adviser - an Indian in his administration, and will also improve medical and educational infrastructure in reservations.
A visit to the reservation of Indians Crowe was the first trip of the US presidential candidate in Montana. In the reservation, there are about 12 thousand members. The total number of Indians in Montana is about 60 thousand, which makes them significant force on voting - primaries are soon expected in Montana. It seems that in order to finally consolidate the advantage in the confrontation with Hilary Clinton, Obama decided to enlist the voices of the US indigenous population, which, however, often ignores the elections.
Meanwhile, the “candidates for candidates” is nearing completion. The Republicans have already decided on their representative-it will be 71-year-old John McCain, and between the democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama there is a tense struggle in which Obama seems to win. On Tuesday, the primaries will be held in Kentucky and Oregon. A week later-in Idaho, June 1-in Puerto Rico. And on June 3, the last vote will take place in Montana and South Dakota. However, according to analysts, the intrigue in the Democratic Party will remain not only until June 3, when the primaries season formally ends, but also to the national party congress, which will be held at the end of August in Denvero (Colorado).
According to the latest data, Obama scored 1904 congress delegates. Of these, 1612 were chosen in the process of primaries and coks (preliminary elections and asset partyets). Another 292 votes are the already determined “superfluids”, party activists and functionaries who have the right to vote at their own discretion. Obama Obama Senator from New York Hillary Clinton has so far enlisted the support of 1717 delegates. Of these, 1443 are selected, 274 - “superfluid”. To win at the August Congress in Denver, the applicant will need 2025 votes of delegates. If neither Obama nor Clinton gained such a number of votes, the issue will be solved by vote 231 not determined with their preferences of the delegate.
The press declared Obama the winner two weeks ago, and now the American media write that negotiations have already begun behind the scenes about how and when the former first lady will announce her departure. If she decides to get out of the race, she wants clear guarantees on two issues: her political future and huge debts she had accumulated. Hillary Clinton’s headquarters have reached $ 20 million. As Business Week notes, this significantly exceeds the debt level typical of this stage of primary elections. Most of the participants in the primaries, who are not able to independently finance their headquarters, leave the race by this moment. Clinton lasted for so long, as she lended $ 11.4 million from personal savings to her election headquarters.
