If you don't read anything else, read the last statement Obama made.__________________________________________________
Think you know who this man is?
This possible President of the United States !! Read Below and
ask yourselves, is this REALLY someone we can see as the
President of our great nation!!!!
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 FINALLY the Most Damming one of ALL of them!!!
From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'
* If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to Do so!!!! We CANNOT have someone with this type of mentality running our GREAT nation!! I don't care whether you a Democrat or a Conservative. We CANNOT turn ourselves over to this type of character in a President. PLEASE help spread the word.
I have read Dreams from My Father. The author of this email obviously hasn't, since he couldn't even get the title right.
It is an easy and informative book which I would highly recommend. It largely deals with Senator Obama's struggle to come to terms with his unique identity as the son of a Kenyan father, who he never really knew, raised by a white mother and white grandparents in the United States.
I still haven't made up my mind whether I am going to vote for Senator Obama but I know I am going to base my decision on something more than 6 sentences taken entirely out of context.

Small minds can always accomplish small things. It is sad that Obama needs to actually have a website and a team of people to try to counteract these hateful emails and "rumors", which the mainstream media has no problem "reporting" on. Makes one sick. Jon Stewart has a report on the media's picking up of these ugly reports and actually giving airtime to them, all under the guise of "this is what people are saying via email". As if there isn't enough REAL news to fill the airwaves. If not, then I say, GET OFF THE AIR. Don't feed this kind of garbage to the American public under the guise of "news reporting".
Truthfully, I am not a Obama Fan, but not because of lies put out on the internet. More because I do not know enough about the man. I will make my mind up as his record is made known to me.
Just a side note: I would like to see it made against the law to BASH the other......JUST PLAIN TELL ME WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO FOR THE UNITED STATES......and to hell with the rest of the crap.
Refer people to this page when you see this kind of stuff.
It's interesting that you say this after saying you don't intend to read his books, and while all of the information you could need is available to you right there on the same computer you typed this comment from. Does "made know to me" mean that you think someone should spoon feed you the information?
While the next one says his father is white and the next say the father is from Kenya.
Name the sources people? Why should anyone have to validate anything against this poorly written complete erroneous piece of tripe.
too funny!! :D
The hate has to stop!! I do not ever think I told you love your ICON!! :D
Thanks for sharing the racist and hate email!!! Just to show you who the bigots are ..
We will never get rid of the race wars, hate when they keep going on with it..
SAD ....God is looking down on these Christians and shaking his head.
