Posted By desertgal on 07/15/2008 9:00 PM I cannot understand how anyone would want this inexperienced man with an agenda clearly not in America's best interest to be our next president. Look at the last quotation closely.
From Dreams of My Father: "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites." From Dreams of My Father: "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race." From Dreams of My Father: "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white." From Dreams of My Father: ; "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names." From Dreams of My Father: "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela." From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." Subject: Obama and his thoughts from HIS BOOKS I wouldn’t recommend purchasing his books, but checking them out from the public library and verifying the quotes this is a dangerous individual that has not been truthful, evidently with very much he has uttered in public. Particularly the last quote! This guy wants to be our President and control our government. Pay close attention to the last comment!! Below are a few lines from Obama's books " his words: From Dreams of My Father: "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites." From Dreams of My Father: "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race." From Dreams of My Father: "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white." From Dreams of My Father: ; "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names." From Dreams of My Father: "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela." From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." Holy Cow ! He's lost his mind, and so has anyone that votes for him ! Go be President of a Muslim country, then ! Here you go desertgal you forgot a couple of lines on your c/p (blue/bold font)....... One would think that the banjo playing moron putting these moronic eRumors out would at the very least get the name of the book right!!!
Picture a two toothed banjo strumming hidden valley hillbilly frustrated as hell on his first visit to the public library, scratching his head and his azzz simultaneously!!!! Now where in the hell is that book!!!  What is even more PATHETIC is the fact that we do have plenty of ignorant, xenophobic, banjo strumming redneck hillbillies out there that take these eRumors as if they were the word of the lord!!! So desertgal take a little time out from this monkey see monkey do rutt that you are in and try too oh, I don't know; READING the book!!!! ughhhhh you too jhall!!!!! Here you go, I clarified the last qoute for you. You do the rest!  "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."-Fiction! This is a corruption of a quote from Obama's book The Audacity of Hope. It is from a section that talks about the concerns of immigrants who are American citizens.
Here is the accurate and more complete quote: "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
