why not fact check his books now.

Ask him why he says he sough radicals, Marxists, blacks, chicano’s out so as to avoid being looked as as a sell out.

That to me sounds racist towards whites and sounds he was looking to fit in with radicals because he was a radical but hey why not ask him and fact check him.

Also while they’re at it ask why his family say they saw him born over there and why does he hide his past life even his school record results and B/S.(not saying he isn’t American but why hide it)

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. ( AP ) - The surge of interest in Barack Obama after his speech to the Democratic National Convention is spilling over to the book he wrote a decade ago, with a first edition copy going for $255 on eBay and pre-release orders for a new edition already putting it on best-seller lists.

” Dreams From My Father : A Story of Race and Inheritance” is Obama ‘s memoir of growing up in Hawaii the son of a black man and white woman. He discusses trying to come to grips with his racial identity, a period of rebellion that included drug use, traveling to Africa and becoming a community activist in Chicago.

It was published in 1995 to strong reviews but only modest sales. Obama said 15,000 copies were printed, and he still has several boxes of them.

Crown Publishing Group, a division of Random House, decided to reissue the book after Obama won the Illinois Democratic Senate primary in March. Then he delivered a keynote address that thrilled Democrats, and interest in the book took off.
