The Navajo Nation Council went out on a limb Tuesday and endorsed Democratic candidate Barack Obama for U.S. president in hopes of a new era of federal Indian policy. In doing so, Council snubbed one of Arizona’s own — Sen. John McCain. But according to Dennehotso Delegate Kathryn Benally, McCain has snubbed Navajo for the past 24 years. “What has he done for us? He refuses to open the door to us when we go to the Hill. He refuses our requests for additional funding, and at this point in time, he stands there and says, ‘It is my pride that I do not support earmarks.’
