-----In his own words......
Pay close attention to the last comment!!
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."

You might wish to verify the accuracy of that last quote from Audacity of Hope. If you care about accuracy that is. Like I always say, trust, but verify.
Stay Tuned Zelph. Just the first of many quotes straight from the mouth of Barack H. (H stands for Hamas/Hezbollah) Obama!
So I take it you don't care about the accuracy of the quotes? Kinda destroys your credibility, doncha think?
Zelph you dems are scared SHITLESS about Barry Obama and his stances on this subject. My credability is not the problem; Obama's is, he is running for President. Just like your side keeps saying John McCain wants troops in Iraq for 100 years. This will really be fun to watch the dems squirm with Obama as their candidate.
Apparently you can't even spell credibility. I expect no less from the "Straight Talk" Express.
Read the whole quote, then make your judgments...
"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 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."
