Fwd: The next President?

Subject: The next President?

Something to think about!!!

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!!!!

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

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 damning one of ALL of them

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

I'm not sure I understand how this is supposed to be offensive or indicative of his being unable to hold office. Is it because he says that race makes him uncomfortable? I'm guessing the person who sent this forward didn't grow up as a member of an ethnic minority.

I thought all these comments look pretty benign - especially the last "damning" quote, which is pretty hard to find sinister unless you're an extreme bigot.

But this quote struck me as suspect: "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race." Sure enough, it's made up:
