Hey, Kemosabe, Kemosabe: Barack 'Tonto' Obama takes new name
Obama, Wooing Voters, Takes an American-Indian Name
Crow Agency, Mont. (AP) - The purification ceremony isn't an everyday ritual of U.S. presidential politics.
The newly named Awe Kooda Bilaxpak Kuuxshish -- better known as Barack Obama -- faced east, the symbolic source of new life. His adopted Crow father, Hartford Black Eagle, prayed over him.
Afterward, they walked arm-in-arm with Black Eagle's wife, Mary, to a podium, where Obama promised to live up to the meaning of his new name: "One Who Helps People Throughout the Land."
Gag me with a spoon.
