If this is all true, we are in for a scary ride if he is elected President!
 In Obama's own words (Very, very Scary)

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.
These are passages in his own 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, th e black man,
son of Africa, that I had packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the
attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

And here's the clincher: (grab on to something when you read this:)

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

    Obama is a self-hating liberal who denies that he is every bit as much white as he is black because his identity as a black man plays better politically.
     
    He could have positioned himself as a contemporary reflection of American society - borne of diverse cultures, able to inhabit the white world as well as the black, sensitive to the needs of the majority as well as the minority, a true uniter and not a divider.
     
    The quotes above show exactly where he stands. He stands firmly with the minority and rejects the majority - even within his own identity.
     
    It's hard to consider voting for a man who so blatantly lies about himself.
  • SeanRenaud said on Jun 17, 2008....
    Wow, white people really worry over nothing at all.
  • curmudgeon said on Jun 17, 2008....
    Who you calling white??
  • SeanRenaud said on Jun 17, 2008....
    Anybody who is overly frightened by a bunch of random quotes clearly taken out of context.
  • curmudgeon said on Jun 17, 2008....
    Gotcha. As I never read his books, I have to admit guilt here.
  • SeanRenaud said on Jun 17, 2008....
    I mean lets take the last one for example
     
    From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political
    winds shift in an ugly direction.'
    Does this mean as the author of this blog is suggesting that Obama will hand America over to the Muslims (as if even the President had such power) or does it mean that if people start dragging muslims into the streets and killing them that he won't let that happen?

    Like SeanRenaud said...

    I stood with the Muslims when the winds shifted in an ugly direction on September 12th.  Hatred and threats against them needed to be fought with understanding that American Muslims are valued citizens.  Almost none of which wish ill on anyone.  (No better can be said about Jews, Christians, and Atheists.  Most of them are peaceful, not all.)  This isn't scary.  This shows he will protect the innocent from irrational rage.  This is how all of us should feel.


    As for the black / white thing:
    Would any of us in his shoes know how to be perfectly comfortable with what our place in society is?  Think of the forces pulling him in half a dozen different directions.  Given the chaotic stew of cultures he's been immersed in, I'm impressed with his negotiation of both the expectations of society and his own.  Such a course through life will serve him exceptionally well when he needs to understand and broker relations between groups of people with conflicting goals.  This is a potent form of experience that I suspect John McCain lacks almost entirely.
  • stopmediabias said on Jun 22, 2008....
    We should look at this in a different perspective.  What if John McCain wrote in a book: "It remained necessary to tp prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the white masses, to strike out and name names'"
     
     The media would pound on that relentlessly.  There is also the glaring fact that Obama's minister was tossed under the bus for (harsher but in the same context) comments.
     
    The Black/White thing?  Excuse me?  There isn't suppose to be a black/white thing, remember judge people by the content of their of character and not the color of their skin.  Obama in his writing seems to allude to the fact he believes blacks and whites are somehow different when if McCain or any other white person did this they would be a racist.  Why does Obama get a big fat pass in the mainstream media?
  • SeanRenaud said on Jun 22, 2008....
    There is a black white thing smb and not to admit and address it is stupid.  It's actually painful that he hasn't attacked the issue harder but the fact is that admitting there are race issues in the US wouldn't get him elected. 
  • stopmediabias said on Jun 23, 2008....

    I said there isn't supposed to be.  If Obama was all white instead of half and said the exact same things only on the other side there would be calls for his resignation and the media would never let it go.

    Are the race issues in this country best handled by the preachings of Obama's minister and some of the statements Obama himself has made as pointed out by our friend above?  I think not.

  • SeanRenaud said on Jun 23, 2008....
    The statements he made above are clearly misquoted.  No they aren't well handled by his minister.
     
    I agree this shouldn't be an issue, I'm not saying this is how it is supposed to be I'm saying this is how it is and to an extent we need to work with what we have and move forward.
  • Fallyn said on Jun 23, 2008....
    clearly out of context. i haven't even read the book and i could see how out of context they are.

    "I stood with the Muslims when the winds shifted in an ugly direction on September 12th.  Hatred and threats against them needed to be fought with understanding that American Muslims are valued citizens.  Almost none of which wish ill on anyone.  (No better can be said about Jews, Christians, and Atheists.  Most of them are peaceful, not all.)  This isn't scary.  This shows he will protect the innocent from irrational rage.  This is how all of us should feel."

    I live in a part of Brooklyn where a lot of Muslims, particularly from South Asia, have settled. I'd have to agree that these folks, at least from what I can tell, want to run their businesses, practice their faith and live their lives in peace.

    But they're not the only "innocent" people here. People of many different races and religions died on September 11th, 2001. Obama is running for an office that is supposed to represent EVERYONE in the United States, not just the "oppressed" minority.

    Choosing one or the other, whatever the circumstance, makes for a great revolutionary leader, NOT the leader of 300 million people with vastly differing viewpoints and backgrounds.

    The President of the United States had better be prepared to represent everyone, majority and minority, powerful as well as powerless, oppressor as well as oppressed. To favor one over the other sets one against the other.

    That's not change I believe in, because it's not change at all.

    I feel sorry for people like you. People who tried to get elected President is now working with President Obama; Secretary of State Clinton. It's people of integrity like her who put aside her feelings for the sake of the people of this country and not look at what happened during the primary but get with President Obama to make a change in this country. If McCain had won would you and others be saying these ugly things. If you are going to read President Obama books read the books and stop looking for things to make trouble. That was his life growing up and God only knows it is so many people who experienced such things growing up and to this day still searching to find meaning and to go on with their life. President Obama went on with his life and he did not let his past stop him for going forward to help others. This is a man who could have had money maker jobs but he turned it down to help poor people not just black but all races of people. We need to be praying for the President not sending hate e-mails. I feel sorry for you and others like you and I am going to pray for you and others like you.
  • stopmediabias said on Feb 25, 2009....
    Hillary Clinton has about as much integrity as her Husband has self control.
  • dyingman said on Apr 09, 2009....
    when the winds shifted in an ugly direction...

    ...People of many different races and religions died on September 11th, 2001.

    Whoever is being attacked by ugly winds can expect his (and my) help.

    All 300 million of us can find ourselves downwind at some point.  A leader helps all the people through their specific storms.
