In Obama's Own Words

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 mothers 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."

Tip of the hat to Jack.

To be fair, Sam, the context of the "I will stand with them" quote was comparing post-9/11 persecution of american Muslims to post-Pearl Harbor persecution and concentration of Japanese-Americans on the west-coast. That's a fairly honorable position to take.

That said, I do believe an Obama presidency would be utterly disastrous for the nation. Misquoting him hysterically does not help bring people to their senses about him and convince them to oppose him; it only makes us look bad, and makes our other arguments against him that much easier to dismiss.
