Obama’s Words, Not Mine

I just received this in my email. Don’t know if this one is true either because I refuse to buy either one of Obama’s books. This sounds more like Obama. Of course, he’s not saying these types of things on the campaign trail.
Maybe one of our readers who’ve read the books can validate these quotes from Obama’s books.
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.’
From Dreams of My Father : ‘I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.’
From Dreams of My Father: ‘There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.’
From Dreams of My Father: ‘It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.’
From Dreams of My Father: ‘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.’
And FINALLY the Most Damming one of ALL of them!!!
From Audacity of Hope: ‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’
If these quotes are true, you wonder why the Media hasn’t picked up on them. Of course, if John McCain had written such stuff, you know they would never let the man live it down nor would they let us forget! Just another example of media bias in this country.
So will you be buying any of Obama’s books?

Sounds to me like struggles of a young person trying to find himself. A young mixed race man?
I didn’t read the book..I’m just sayin’.
