From page 261 of The Audacity of Hope ...
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 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.
In 0bama-speak, this has the intention of leaving it slightly ambiguous, with superfluous blah blah blah mumbo jumbo to give some little element of doubt which precedes his primary point and message to "his people", which is .....
"I will stand with them [Muslims (i.e. the perpetrators of 9/11)] should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
He said it, methinks, even if factcheck and snopes provide cover for him with their spinning of his 'meaning'.
Thanks, SC. You should change your name to Servant of the Truth.
