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 her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, 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."
From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Bumble... Are you trying to be the "Andrew Breitbart" of the Rotterdam message board???
Didn't you learn anything about taking quotes out or context from the hatchet job that Breitbart did on Shirley Sherrod?

Seems not for question B. However, they're quotes (one assumes as the source isn't offered) and completely lack any hint of what is 'wrong' with them. I'll admit that each seems plausible because they imply a rational and reflective mindset - a refreshing follow-on to the previous administration - (Need one post the great Dubya's quotes yet again? Arguably the best was his aside to Tony Blaire: "The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur.")
BINGO.....now you guys are catching on.......THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!!! They ALL have a socialist agenda. Just a different way of achieving it!!!! Obama just happens to have his foot on the excellerater, with a teleprompter and is rushing it through at lightning speed. You poor deaf and dumb dimwits! You'se really don't have a clue of what's been planned for decades!
THE RISE OF THE FOURTH REICH!!

So the republicans and Conservatives are REALLY Socialists???
Health care for all Americans is a republican Socialist agenda???
Unemployment dollars and Welfare are all Conservative Socialist values???
If both parties are heading for what Conservatives call a Socialist America... why do they object if they have as you say... "a socialist agenda".

FEAR TACTICS!!! Both parties use FEAR TACTICS to advance their agenda....which are the same! Yes we are headed toward a socialist government. And we all know that the word 'socialist' is one of those evil words that strike right at the electorate's emotions. They prey on emotions, cause that is where they can gain the control and confidence of the electorate best. They both do it!!!!
It's not IF but WHEN this will all come to it's finality. And they are both fighting for who will be in control 'at the top' of this socialist government.
Dontcha get it even yet???????

Actually, I don't "get it." I don't recall our current president pulling out 'fear' at the drop of a Dow-Jones point. I do recall that happening in the seven and a half years before he took office. I don't see 'fear' as part of the current administrations policies, but I'll be happy to point out where the previous prez used it - Al Franken called it, "Dubya's little black dress," and with good reason. The neo-cons don't have a straw here to grasp for, so they resort to Goebbels tactics; they create a lie and repeat it broadly; hence, it becomes truth. Put up or shut up (like either of them are likely). You have nothing, so you distort, or flat out lie. Have at it. Here, we get to repudiate them as they appear, and since the Sherrod fiasco, you guys are looking dumber than doggy dookie. Sorry, but you have been invalidated - no one believes you. You're 'dismissed' as you should be. Game, set, match - you lose.

You have selective memory, remember when we had to pass the stimulus now or we're going to have another great depression, we have to pass health-care right now in order to save money and prevent failure of health-care, we have to pass omnibus right now so that unemployment won't go over 8%, we have to pass financial reform now so we don't have another financial crisis, and the Dems are trying to tell us we need to pass cap and trade in order to save the world from a natural gas[co2] that plants need to live that has been on this earth since time began that will cause our heat, light, and transportation costs for all Americans.
box/och - You are good comrades. You would make Hitler proud! Just goes to prove that all of his hard work has paid off!

A typical Conservative hack... when they are done talking, they assume there is nothing more that anyone can offer, so they close with: "END OF DISCUSSION"!
