From Dreams
of my father by Barack
Obama, pp94-95. He describes an interaction with his mother,
in the context of a friend being arrested with drugs.
At the time, Obama was also engaged with pot, cigs and
cocaine, which last he calls ‘blow’:
“I had given her a reassuring smile and patted her hand and
told her not to worry, I wouldn't do anything stupid. it was usually
an effective tactic another one of those tricks I had learned: people
were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no
sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were relieved - such
a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn’t
seem angry all the time.”
(It seemed not to work for him on that occasion.)
Biden on Obama:
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is
articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy ... I mean, that's
a storybook, man.” [Quoted from blogs.usatoday.com]
obama and
islam
“Obama’s
verbal slip fuels his critics”
“ST. LOUIS, Mo. -” Sen. Barack Obama's foes seized Sunday
upon a brief slip of the tongue, when the Democratic presidential nominee
was outlining his Christianity but accidentally said, "my Muslim
faith."
“The three words -- immediately corrected -- were during an exchange
with ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "This Week," when he was
trying to criticize the quiet smear campaign suggesting he is a Muslim”
From Dreams
of my father by Barack Obama
“The person who made me proudest of all, though, was [half brother]
Roy ... He converted to Islam.”
—
“In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school.”
“I studied the Koran.”
From Audacity of Hope:
Lolo (Obama's step father) followed a brand of Islam : “I looked
to Lolo for guidance.”
—
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift
in an ugly direction.”
These book quotes collected by PJ O'Donovan"
Barack Obama:
I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian. I believe in the redemptive
death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I believe that that faith gives
me a path to be cleansed of sin and have eternal life. But most importantly,
I believe in the example that Jesus set by feeding the hungry and healing
the sick and always prioritizing the least of these over the powerful.
I didn't 'fall out in church' as they say, but there was a very strong
awakening in me of the importance of these issues in my life. I didn't
want to walk alone on this journey. Accepting Jesus Christ in my life
has been a powerful guide for my conduct and my values and my ideals.” [Quoted from christianitytoday.com, 23/01/2008]
My opinion
is:
With the Obama coterie doing
everything to smear Sarah Palin with an unending stream
of ludicrous lies, it would appear that they are also
trying to use prejudice as a political weapon.
Meanwhile, the real questions about Obarma go on and
on and on...
Obama’s skin reflectivity is not really the main
issue driving his positives down. Rather it’s his dubious associations,
his continual shifty ‘adjustments’, his lack of any real political
substance and his general record of poor judgment, even the constant ‘attacks’
fashioned from very little fabric.
Obama’s putting forward very little serious policy,
but trying to get by as a pop star. So the balloon goes pop. What else
is to be expected among intelligent or serious voters?
As Obama is so secretive, I have made efforts trying to dig into what,
if anything, he really ,’believes’.
Is he a muslim? I doubt it. Is he a christian in any
real sense? I doubt it. To my own probing, it looks like he is a atheist
marxist; or, when it hides under a christianist hat, it is often called liberation
theology.
Obama may be a bit of a luke-warm theist. I see no
real sign that he’s a christianist.
He has unitarianism and islam in his background - both
lots regard christianism as polytheist. I don’t believe he is
uneffected by that in the dark of the night.
Here is a snippet I dug out while researching
him:
“[...] We need to take faith seriously not simply to block the
religious right but to engage all persons of faith in the larger project
of American renewal.” [Quoted from time.com]
He looks like a politician trying to maneuver, rather
than a conviction christianist.
Or
as Wright said:
“WRIGHT: It went down very simply. He's a politician, I'm a
pastor. We speak to two different audiences. And he says what he has
to say as a politician. I say what I have to say as a pastor. But they're
two different worlds. I do what I do. He does what politicians do. So
that what happened in Philadelphia where he had to respond to the sound
bytes, he responded as a politician.”
Looks about ‘Wright’ to
me!
From Obama’s 06/10/2008
San Francisco fund-raiser speech:
“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or
religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment
or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” [Quoted from speech transcript in huffingtonpost.com]
The more Obama is probed, the more
that he is revealed as an empty cardboard cut-out. That
looks to me to be the central reason he’s sinking.
And that’s pretty much damn all to do with his
light reflectivity.
Biden on Indians
“ "I've had a great relationship," said Biden. "In
Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving
from India. You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you
have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking."
“ At the time, these remarks drew a hail of criticism from Indian-Americans,
including Vijayanagar.”
Biden on Obarma
“I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t
believe he is. The presidency is not something that
lends itself to on-the- job-training.”
