Below are a few lines from Obama's books in his words!

Think you know who this man is? This possible President of the United States!! Read Below and ask yourselves, is this REALLY someone we can see as the President of our great nation!!!!

From Audacity of Hope:

  • 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

From Dreams of My Father:

  • 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'
  • 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'
  • 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'
  • 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'
  • 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'
