A few lines from Obama's books; In his words . . .

Bonster

Do you think you know who Obama is?

Do you think that you know the man??

The possible future President of the United States???

Below are a few lines from Obama's books; In 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."

And the most damming one of them all . . .

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

WHY ISN'T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THIS?! McCain is being WAY too nice; He frequently sounds sort of wimpy when I know that he's not given his background . . . Why is everyone (including McCain) being so PC?? We could have a Field Day with the quotes in Obama's books!!

They cannot speak of any of this because then Obama will play the race cards and lie to us like always. We all know Obama is a racist himself and we all know his shady past but yet we have to sit back and say nothing.

We will never be shown the true man because to do that would be to insure that he could not be elected.If anyone is racist it is Obama himself.I sudder at what depths the American system has sunk.

Goodboy what is it about Obama that appeals to you I would really like to know. I just have not heard anything substanitive comming out of his mouth?

Obama reminds me of the classic joke about politicians. How can you tell when a politician is lying? When he speaks. I also have to wonder how he can call himself a Christian but be pro-abortion. Somehow, I just cannot fathom his thought process.

Well, I think many people won't care about his pasts. What is important for them now is to choose someone different from our typical past and current Presidents. Obama perfectly fits into that bill and people are hoping to see changes in choosing him.

Well neither candidate is perfect. But the Republicans have been screwing up lately, so at the very least even if Obama isn't all that great, if he can do a better job than McCain then more power to him.

Plus McCain is probably full of crap too.

You don't hear about it because he sends chills up the leg of Mathews and the rest of them. Do you think Obama ever thought he would cause such a reaction in a typical white guy?
