I don't talk about it, but I have some ties with the Native American community. (my son is half Cowachin) This meant a lot, there was a introductory speech by an elder, very much in praise of Obama, called him "the only honest man in Washington" paraphrasing a saying by a long gone Native leader "if you find an honest man in Washington-- send him here"
