-----In his own words......    This guy wants to be President & Head the US government. Pay close attention to the last comment!! Below are a few lines from Obama's books " 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 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."
