Just a small question here…

When you learned your American history what were the non-native Americans who attended the first thanksgiving called?

They were called Pilgrims.

So why is it President Obama needed – or felt the need - to call them European settlers? No other presidential Thanksgiving day proclamation in the last 12 years felt the need to specifically point out European, so what is so special about the distinction now?

Little by little this administration is trying to change the traditions and fundamental beliefs this country was founded on.
