Shows you how a misquote can spread throughout the Net.

The correct quote is:

In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans 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. I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Did Barak say " I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”?

The answer is in your own post, Thank You!

I owe you an apology from last week on the Obama "Stand with them" vs "Stand with Muslims"

You were correct. Even after you corrected me I didn't see the differrce till later. (...multitasking at work.)

Same meaning, but my reference was not the proper quoted text.
