So the American government lied to the Native Americans for many, many years, and then President Clinton lied about a relationship, and everyone was surprised! A little naive, I feel!

So the American government lied to the Native Americans for

Summary

This quote suggests that the deception and dishonesty exhibited by the American government towards Native Americans for a prolonged period has made people, including the speaker, somewhat cynical or untrusting. The reference to President Clinton lying about an extramarital affair implies that individuals should not be shocked by such falsehoods considering the history of government deception. The speaker may perceive it as naive or gullible to be surprised by any deception, given the past actions of those in power.

She leaned down and looked at his lifeless face and Leisel kissed her best friend, Rudy Steiner, soft and true on his lips. He tasted dusty and sweet. He tasted like regret in the shadows of trees and in the glow of the anarchist's suit collection. She kissed him long and soft, and when she pulled herself away, she touched his mouth with her fingers...She did not say goodbye.
