Could someone please explain these quotes by Barack Obama?
From 'Dreams of my Father', "In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school" "I studied the Koran.." From 'Audacity of Hope: "Lolo (Obama's step father) followed a brand of Islam ...."I looked to Lolo for guidance". From 'The Audacity Of Hope, "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." 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', "The emotion between the races could never be pure..... the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart." 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, "never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own." Feel free to report me, I have like 9 accounts.

Thank you for listing all of this. Both him and his wife are closet racists. Their church is a separtist church: www.tucc.org that states #4 of their mission: "A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA. " Great, just what I want, a president with a NON-NEGOTIABLE COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.

A thinking person would need to see these quotes in context. Give me the whole paragraph, not just the part you find "interesting"

1. you have no proof obama said this 2. you have no link 3. you already say report you. so i did

i think he wrote those books trying to establish he was black enough. now he's trying to establish he's not too black. what amazes me is that he wrote his memoirs in his 30s - what arrogance!
5 :
thing is...he IS 1/2 white, 1/2 black. He cannot feel animosity towards one race, I think, since that blood IS in him! It's like hating himself... Plus he always talks nice about his WHITE mom who rised him almost alone! I understand she has passed away from cancer a while back. His dad abandoned him, imagine how that must feel. He also talkes a lot about how he was also raised by his WHITE maternal grandparents (along with his mom).

The guy obviously has some animosity towards his white half. These people here could see Obama sipping wine with Osama bin laden and still would ask you for proof he's a muslim. Those are quotes from his books. Buy them to see your proof.
7 :
I can't as they are taken out of context and without the rest of the paragraph or sometimes even a chapter they are not meant to be stand alone statements and cannot be explained without the rest of the story. Why would this question be a reportable one? I didn't think it was.

I got a great idea...vote for the other GUY!

Damm, if you spend more then 3 seconds looking at all the quotes it's obvious he is doin his best to not focus on any one part of his heritage.

man who drop ring in tullet have crappy time

Anyone can post quotes, but in order to make an informed decision on what the quote means you have to give the context in which the quote was given/used. By posting quotes alone, without context, you are only attempting to degrading the person who made the statements. How low can that be?

Rovian techniques at its best.take a person word and twist and spin and turn it around for the purpose of negativity. We, the 70% of Americans that disapprove of the job GWB has done, which was shaped by Carl Rove, will no longer fall for this type of innuendo..Also remember that Obama supportors are highly educated..try sending this to Rush and his followers to be the sheep they were, to follow Bush.
13 :
Wow he studied the Koran....Goodness forbid they put someone in the White House who knows about the enemy the US is fighting. Much better we keep people ignorant of the rest of the world in power. 3rd term for Bush!!
14 :
You should report what he meant, not what he said. . . What?
15 :
yes we can !!!
16 :
No, I don't report. But it's almost impossible to understand any quote taken out of context. If you just took one line from one of the Amendments, it would be very difficult to understand the comprehensive thoughts prevailing. Remember when Hillary said ( in Nevada)..." No woman is illegal." People jumped all over that, but in context there was clarity. Nice try, dude, but this just doesn't fly.

No explaination needed, he's not right for this country. Perhaps overseas somewhere, he would be the perfect leader, but not here. Electing him would be even more moronic than GW's second term election. Funny how every person who doesn't care for him is called a racist, yet he basically insults white people and of course, it's okay. reverse racism at it's finest. and before you jump all over me, I'm married to a black man

Geez, you could have posted the whole book and these people would have said you took something out of context.Its funny isn't it?No matter how much PROOF you offer, some folks just simply refuse to see the truth.These will be the first ones in line to piss and moan after Obama is elected when their tax dollars are funding left wing special interests in Indonesia (or somewhere).What slays me is the fact that people insist that he isn't "playing the race card".What do you call it when he says even though hes half white, he refuses to "advertise it".Because if he did, he wouldn't be "making history" by being the first black Presidential candidate.That certainly seem s to be playing the race card to me.Or maybe I should call it the "black separatist card". In response to Spark My Thoughts:Obama supporters might be highly educated, but not one of them have been able to come up with an actual accomplishment from Obama.And this doesnt speak to their intelligence, only to his absolute lack of experience.
