Yes, I heard this on a youtube video where he read his own book aloud. I will try to find that link.

What we really need to see is the original book printed in 1996. You can’t find that first publication. Seems all the Libraries and copies have disapared. But you can bet that version was a little different then the republished version in 2006.

How I would like to get a copy of this for compairson to the 2nd edition.

Since Obama won’t reveal himself to the people, the are eager to get any info they can find. Corsi’s book appears to be the leading source.

This man will not be president.

I checked out the link provided. One of the comments on the thread said:

Even more disturbing was this quote from Dreams of My Father that states, "White man's greed runs a world in need." To me he is saying the same as Rev. Wright's speeches. This is just different words for the same concept of Black Liberation Theology, which I also researched.

“Just Words” BUMP!

I, I, I, me, me, me, my, my, my.

Yes, he said all of it.

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

Yes and no...that one sentence is taken out of context from what he was saying...what he said was this:

Actual quote from Page 261:
"Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

And FINALLY the Most Damming one of ALL of them!!!
From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

That is a misquote, and likely deliberate. the Left typically starts these sorts of e-mail rumors, internet hoax or partial hoax stories in an effort to discredit or minimize the genuine damaging stories. We need to be careful not to help them spread this BS around. It hurts the TRUE case against Obama.

Not Muslims, but Arab-Americans

A chain e-mail going around takes statements out of context from Sen. Barack Obama's books Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope.

The e-mail was sent to us by 20 PolitiFact readers who said they wanted to know if the claims were true. (For more on the e-mail and a link to its full text, read our article on Obama's book.)

The e-mails states, "From The Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.' "

The quote comes from page 261 of the paperback edition of The Audacity of Hope. In the full passage, Obama talks about speaking in front of audiences of immigrants, and how he often tells them that they embody the American dream.

But he wrote that when he speaks to audiences of Pakistani and Arab-Americans, their message to him has a more urgent quality.

"(T)he stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Obama doesn't mention Muslims here at all; he's clearly talking about U.S. citizens of Arab and Pakistani descent.

Also, the e-mail says Obama would "stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction," implying he made a statement to that effect. But it's clear in reading the text that the words actually represent a question Obama is being asked by his audiences: "they need specific assurances ... that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Though Obama doesn't say so explicitly, he gives the impression his answer is yes.

The e-mail distorts Obama's quote and misrepresents who he was talking about, lumping together an entire religion when he was talking to two groups of people in the context of discrimination. It's a significant alteration to the meaning of what Obama said, and we find it to be False.

From Barack Obama's official website:

“I wanted to make an art piece of Barack Obama because I thought an iconic portrait of him could symbolize and amplify the importance of his mission. I believe Obama will guide this country to a future where everyone can thrive and I should support him vigorously for the sake of my two young daughters. I have made art opposing the Iraq war for several years, and making art of Obama, who opposed the war from the start, is like making art for peace. I know I have an audience of young art fans and I’m delighted if I can encourage them to see the merits of Barack Obama.”

See? It's all about "peace, love, togetherness" and "change".

Here are some of Fairey's other masterpieces. No joke. Most of his works are along these same lines (anti-American, pro-communist propaganda). Check the link.

From a 'thank you' letter Barack Obama sent to Shepard Fairey:
"Dear Shepard, I would like to thank you for using your talent in support of my campaign. The political messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe they can help change the status quo. Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign.'"

It's not surprising that a couple of the Metro Pharoah's words were slightly misqouted, and that snopes would want to defend them.

However, just that 'in context' smattering of O's prose grouped together like snopes did, displayed without a doubt, a very radical, self loathing, hateful racist, and the context of the one liners, grammer aside, has easily been qualified.

[From Audacity of Hope: ‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’]

He did not say, “I will stand with the Muslims..” He said, “ I will stand with them..” and there was a whole paragraph preceding that quote.

I actually made a banner gif of it waaaay back and then learned it was incorrect.
