Obama quotes

[Myk9noseknows]

These are quotes directly from his own book:

From Audacity of
Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims
should the political winds shift
in an ugly direction.

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.'

Seems like his race and religion are how he defines himself afterall.

Not taking a position, just food for thought for those without all the information.

Hopefully anyone considering voting for him can see through his curtain of lies....not that i think they care because they to may be voting stricly based on race or religion.

Most of these quotes i see floating around the net are taken out of context... but i still agree he that he has racist leaning thoughts and is a snob.

Just something for some to remember.

You shouldnt have to use stuff like this to get people not to like this piece of poop. He has enough goin against him for me not to like him.

ok, continue slinging the dirt

There is a political forum. This topic should be in there.

I am by no means an Obama supporter, quite the opposite. But....

snopes.com: Barack Obama in His Own Words


I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.
No such sentence (nor anything close to it) appears anywhere in either Dreams from My Father or The Audacity of Hope. This statement was taken from a <nobr>March 2007</nobr> article about Barack Obama; they are not Obama's own words, but rather those of the article's author (recast in the first person): In reality, Obama provides a disturbing test of the best-case scenario of whether America can indeed move beyond race. He inherited his father’s penetrating intelligence; was raised mostly by his loving liberal white grandparents in multiracial, laid-back Hawaii, where America’s normal race rules never applied; and received a superb private school education. And yet, at least through age 33 when he wrote Dreams from My Father, he found solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against his mother's race.

I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
This statement is a rewording of a passage from page 261 of The Audacity of Hope, in which Barack Obama spoke of the importance of not allowing inflamed public opinion to result in innocent members of immigrant groups being stripped of their rights, denied their due as American citizens, or placed into confinement, as was done with Japanese-Americans during World <nobr>War II.</nobr> The original contains no specific mention of "Muslims": 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 reassurances 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.
