This is the original blurb on the back of Dreams that the Regime scrubbed when it was reprinted before Obummer ran for Pres.:

Dreams from My Father is a beautifully written chronicle of a gifted young man marked and molded by a family whose love for him was as deep as its diversity was daunting. We hear in Barack Obama’s soaring book that survival demands resilience in the face of frustrated expectations, and that one’s committed opposition to the destructive tides of America’s obsession with color cultivates a vision of life that is nourished by struggle.

- Derrick Bell, author of Faces at the Bottom of the Well

The regime knows this guy is bad news as evidenced by their eliminating this from the reprint of the book. It also disproves the lie that Obummers radicalism was just a passing fad in college. He was active in this philosophy well after it.

So Obama was supposed to get past “America’s obsession with color”? When exactly did that happen— between Beer Summits?

obama tells Bell it’s called Dreams OF My Father. Bell writes Dreams FROM My Father. I’m not convinced he read it.

No one cares. Seriously. No one except for those who all ready would not vote for BHO cares. 9 out of 10 people on the street would not even know who Bell was, and if you told them would shrug their shoulders and not think it a big deal.

Me thinks Odummdumm has been projecting his own inner obcessions with race onto others his whole life.
I think I will put that in my book entitled, Nightmeres relating to a Punk Commie President.
