All the missing text, denoted by the ellipsis “...” should be included also.

That I completely agree with. (Paraphrasing) "I am proudest of my brother(...) he converted to Islam" could be pages away from each other for all I know. There is a very good chance that this is exactly what meant but just like the editing of Palin's ABC interview with Gibson all I care about is being fair as one can be.

I went to the bookstore and looked at the book, without buying it. I read pages 101 and 102, to confirm/disconfirm your claim.

I could not confirm in these two pages. On page 101 Barack Hussein Obama (BHO) describes his hero who he considers to be more authentically black than himself. The quote you provide is right for the time. The young BHO does reject Tim, the supposedly white acting black man who has a white girlfriend, for not being sufficiently black. His hero chastises BHO. His hero asks why did he disparage Tim. BHO dissembles with “he’s just goofy.” Yes, the young BHO was a racist who wouldn’t even tell the truth about his racism. But the modern BHO, with his unacknowledged ghost writer, shows the young BHO as having been rebuked by his hero. His racism was wrong.

BHO may still be a racist, but these two pages (101 & 102) do not prove it.

I put the most stock in BHO's pronouncements and actions as an adult and these should be enough to worry anyone. His past is not encouraging either.

In principle, a person can turn around and recover from a dubious youth. BHO may have done that in some cases, but he certainly has not done so in all cases. To consider his Marxist influences and to hear him denounce markets today, does not sound like a recovery. To see his slyness as a youth, and consider likely current instances of sly behavior, is not encouraging. To consider his past embrace of Islam and to hear his opposition to this war, and including the succesful surge, and his willingness to meet with Amadinijad is not encouraging.

He is truly the wrong man, at the wrong time, in the wrong place.
