"It's crucial that people don't see my election as somehow a symbol of progress in the broader sense, that we don't sort of point to a Barack Obama any more than you point to a Bill Cosby or a Michael Jordan and say 'Well, things are hunky dory,'" Obama said.

He should eat these words cold, refusing to point out and saying you too can achieve it is part of the hidden agenda of Black liberation theology as well as the means by which some many still live in poverty.

They are deoid of hope because people like Barack Obama never tell them they can be successful if they try, instead they have to wait for someone to bring the rest of the world down to their level of existance.

OBAMA: “Someday if I have millions of dollars, and my poor Kenyan brother is trying to survive on $12 per year, I will be sure to help him b/c I CARE so much about the poor..... oh, wait, maybe I just like the poor as an abstraction and as a political tool, b/c I sure as hell won’t bother to help my impoverished brother when I make my millions.....”

I believe that the Kenyan grandmother isn’t actually the mother of his father, but a later wife of his grandfather.

Barak Obama: "I'm not interested in the suburbs. The suburbs bore me.

Photobucket
Senator Obama's house in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago (that's right ...the "burbs"). The lot on the left is the subject of the "Rezko" deal. Rezko bought the lot for the asking price, and the Obamas got $300,000 off the asking price. Rezko was recently found guilty of "influence peddling" related charges in the federal court in Chicago.

"There's certainly racism here. There are certain burdens that are placed, more emotionally at this point than concretely," Obama said. "Professors may treat black students differently, sometimes by being, sort of, more dismissive, sometimes by being more, sort of, careful because they think, you know, they think that somehow we can't cope in the classroom," he said.

He finds even Harvard Law professors too racist for his taste? Wow.

Is there any more so-called "progressive" group in the entire country than Harvard Law professors?

He is truly THE master of the race card! Jackson, Sharpton, you are unworthy even to hold this man's deck of race cards!

Concern for Obama’s education led his mother to return him to Hawaii, where he attended public schools through high school. In 1983, he graduated from Columbia University with a degree in political science.

hmmm........where did he go to High School?...and who remembers him?...lets talk to them....

Two decades ago he still couldn't acknowledge his white grandmother (the one he is investing one day to say happy birthday to) but he did acknowledge someone in Kenya he'd probably never seen or heard from - and probably couldn't pick out of the crowd today.

Oh yeah, and the bio from 1990 is still being recycled almost word for word.

What were Obama’s grades when he was in Law School? What was his grades when he was taking dope?

I’d like to see the piece he wrote to win the contest.

Where are the leaks. If he wants to hide everything about his past where are those that are willing to leak it?

How can he lecture a plumber about spreading his wealth around, when his campaign has raised nearly a billion dollars and his grandmother STILL lives in squalor?

Excellent point.

The link takes you to the News Paper Archive (at www.newspaperarchive.com) — you have to pay to be a member in order to access the document (which I mentioned in the comment field of my post).

Moreover, I posted the ENTIRE text of the article as well as its citation so I am not sure what data point you are missing...

Also, (as another commentator pointed out) Drudge is now linking to the story...

So — what is your major malfunction? Some p1ss in your coffee?

" Found this on www.newspaperarchive.com (membership required) "

Please do not post from sites requiring membership.

The title you created

" 'Rediscovered' 1990 Newspaper article/interview with Obama: 'The suburbs bore me...'

had to be replaced with the published title. Please do not make up your own titles.

The link you used does not go to the article. This time I searched and found another source.

However, it is much simpler and less time consuming for us to pull threads than to perform this many revisions, so please take note.

Thank you.

I was wondering about that too. Just to make sure I wasn’t crazy, I googled it, and yep Punahou is a private prep school.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punahou_School

Obama attended for 8 years, from ‘71 to ‘79.

Isn’t it funny how nobody can get Obama’s biography right? And in this case you have to think that they got their facts from Obama himself. There would have been no reason for them to dig through his school records or whatever. So, at least at first glance, it seems reasonable to conclude that he lied to them to seem more “common man” than he is.
