Please post and circulate as widely as possible. The truth about Barack Obama's "Dreams From My Father" is more damning than the smears and urban legends. Unlike the latter, the following quotes all have page numbers to allow the reader to visit a bookstore or library, or order the book over the Internet and verify that Barack Obama really wrote this material.

Joyce was a multiracial classmate who wouldn't embrace her Black heritage to Barack Obama's satisfaction, as shown by this excerpt.

Here are more quotes from "Dreams From My Father," all with page numbers. See for yourself, and decide whether someone like this can represent Americans who come in almost every color and ethnicity on earth.

Obamas only problem with Black Nationalism had to do with questions of its effectiveness
If nationalism could deliver. As it turned out, questions of effectiveness, and not sentiment, caused most of my quarrels with Rafiq.
Dreams From My Father, pp. 199-200
I ceased to advertise my mothers race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites (page xv)
I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though (page 93) [http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/streetterms/ByAlpha.asp?strTerm=B, Blow = Cocaine; to inhale cocaine; to smoke marijuana; to inject heroin]
I would occasionally pick up the paper [Louis Farrakhan's "The Final Call"] from these unfailingly polite men, in part out of sympathy to their heavy suits in the summer, their thin coats in winter; or sometimes because my attention was caught by the sensational, tabloid-style headlines (CAUCASIAN WOMAN ADMITS: WHITES ARE THE DEVIL). Inside the front cover, one found reprints of the ministers [Farrakhan's] speeches, as well as stories that could have been picked straight off the AP news wire were it not for certain editorial embelleshments (Jewish Senator Metzenbaum announced today ).

Obama the Racial Unifier:
Dreams From My Father, pages 99-100
But this strategy alone couldnt provide the distance I wanted, from Joyce or my past. After all, there were thousands of so-called campus radicals, most of them white and tenured and happily tolerated. No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.
Dreams From My Father, page 101
There is only one side for a person who wishes to represent the people of the United States, who come in almost every race and ethnicity on earth, and that is the American side. This country does not need or want a White Nationalist, Black Nationalist, or anything other than an American Nationalist in any position of public trust or responsibility in this country.
Should be “Dreams of My Muslim Father Who Bedded My Mom at 17”.
So... I am going to assume he will deny that this book ever existed, and it is a VRWC ploy. I am a proud “white racist” that will vote for McCain and Palin. Whenever a black person
that runs for the presidency that has honor, prestige, and unquestionable integrity, then yes I will vote for him, or her. Credibility, black people, creditbility.
Bullfrog
Here’s a thought that made it through my tin foil hat when I considered putting a McCain/Palin sign in my yard. What if “community organizers” are keeping track of houses with these signs, and what if they receive special recognition when the country “spontaneously” erupts in violent indignation when the republicans “steal” the election from Barry.
I would like to see the rest of that passage in question.....it sounds like a “but I now think I went to far” type statement.
In which case it won’t help much regardless of what he believed then.
It’s high time the McCain people start quoting lines (helpfully provided by Obama himself through books-on-tape) of his little Mein Kampf back to the public.
His deliberate life-long quest to make himself over as an angry “black-rage radical” is as much pathetic as it is creepy. It shows him to truly be a “hollow man.”
We’ve barely survived our first experience with a “fatherless” president. Can we really afford another one?
It’s very hard to believe that could or would happen.
Yet given the admonition of the candidate himself yesterday- to get in the faces of Republicans and Independents to argue with us.
aH HELL NO! HE DID NOT SAY THAT!! WHAAAAAT?
Ok people, Obama has come to the end...he knows the count is up...he knows something and he is going for broke!!!!
OCTOBER SUPRISE OBAMA MY MUSLIM FRIEND.
CHICKENS COMMIN HOME TO ROOST!!!
And that's dangerous --- differently dangerous, but dangerous. It's like he has an attachment disorder.
"Dreams of My Father" flows along on the detached emotion, the ironic tone. He "dreams" of his father, who begot and then abandoned him; he was trained up in his mother's humane-anthropologist image, but she left him to skip[ back to Indonesia; then educated by his grandparents, and behold, old Stanley's idea of mentoring was to introduce his vulnerable adolescent grandson to Frank Marshall Davis, Communist poet and serial bisexual seducer.
Detachment.
Obama apparently doesn't have ANY close friends from the past 30 years he doesn't feel obliged to hide, disown or dissemble about.
I personally think he's going through a midlife crisis, and he's been latched onto by handlers, donors, owners, who can use that bigtime.
Like I said: he's differently dangerous.
I live in a very small town.....mostly registered Dim's. Although I'd guess they mostly are yellow-dogs.

Prank calls are hyterical
I have most of those passages highlighted in my copy.
He’s a scary guy.
So, let's get it straight. Obama agrees that a person is defined by the people with whom he associates. Therefore, he is defined by a list of avowed communists and terrorists. A man who could not pass the scutiny necessary for a "Secret" clearance is a few votes away from being the president.
He’s been going through a midlife crisis since he was in his twenties, apparently. The guy is a classic sociopath: there’s no there there. He has no personality, no ethical or moral boundaries, nothing that is internal to him, and is constantly morphing and trying to create an identity for himself by manipulating others. Of course, he prefers, naturally, to do this in a way that brings him power and wealth, and I think he’s hit on the ultimate way to do it.
I think the Dems believed they were using him as a vehicle to advance their more radical ideas. But I think he’s using them, just the way a sociopath always does, sucking up to them, flattering them - and then turning around to reveal his ugly, ruthless desire for power.
I think he’s much more dangerous than most people realize.

I’ve been posted these quotes hundreds of times everywhere I could for ages- ever since I discovered them here:
http://www.examiner.com/a-536474~_Trapped_between_two_worlds_.html
http://www.examiner.com/a-534540~Can_a_past_of_Islam_change_the_path_to_president_for_Obama_.html?cid=dc-article-obama
I found them outrageous- and very, very disturbing.
If any other candidate had these kinds of statements out in print, they would have been CRUCIFIED!
Not many seemed to find the quotes disturbing until recent months, even though they attest to the fact that Obama is a racist- and if not Muslim, VERY sympathetic to Islam.
I find it amazing that he has not been called out on this!
.
And that’s not all. What about THESE?
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (WHITE) WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT: MENACING, ALIEN AND APART” Barack Hussein Obama
From Dreams Of My Father: “That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” Barack Hussein Obama
“There was something about him that made me wary, Obama wrote. A little too sure of himself, maybe. AND WHITE. ‘The Audacity of Hope’, Barack Hussein Obama
THAT GHOSTLY FIGURE THAT HAUNTED BLACK DREAMS.- Barack Hussein Obama, ‘ Audacity of Hope’
.
AND WHAT ABOUT THESE QUOTES RE: ISLAM?
Quote from Barack Obamas book, Dreams Of My Father:
THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, THOUGH, WAS MY [half brother], ROY..HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM.
(He blatantly states THIS in his book, that he’s proud of his brother for converting to Islam. If he’s so proud, why did he leave Islam? Answer; Strong possibility is he didn’t. The joining of the ‘Christian’ church was for political expediency)
.
From Dreams of my Father, IN INDONESIA, I SPEND TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL ..I STUDIED THE KORAN..
(He states this in his book, yet the Obama camp denies it!)
.
From Audacity of Hope: LOLO (Obamas step father) FOLLOWED ISLAM....I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE.
(Obama state his stepfather practiced Islam, and he looked to him for GUIDANCE? Well, duuhhh!)
.
Thanks -— good article.
As a Nairobi bureaucrat, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a Harvard-educated economist, grew to challenge the ruling pro-Western government for not being socialist enough. In an eight-page scholarly paper published in 1965, he argued for eliminating private farming and nationalizing businesses "owned by Asians and Europeans."
Like father, like son, like Mugabe.
