I read this thread, then clicked the link.
I'm not sure Bush actually came off that badly. Yes, he tremendously oversimplified the relationship between tribes and the federal government (they're not really sovereign entities dealing with each other at arm's length, given the huge involvement of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and in some cases State governments in tribal affairs), but what he said is basically right - they're sovereign entities.
FYI, I'm voting for Kerry, so don't slam me as a Bush apologist if you please.
