Who else thinks that "Fed Up!" works for the Clinton or McCain campaign?

There are alot of people out there spreading misinformation about Obama, but it takes a real pro to accuse the black guy of being racist without sounding like a total headcase.

    Vote Obama, escape the drama

    Anytime Obama is seen in a less the happy American light Clinton had something to do with it. Yet this picture is not a big deal and neither is the fact that it took her black husband being close to becoming the democratic candiate to make her (Obama's wife) proud to be an American. Yes I want them in office someone that can be proud of their country only when they have something to gain. Why is this not a big deal?

    I saw a recent news article something about Clinton getting desperate and spreading a photo of Obama in Muslim clothes to distract voters.

    I saw this in an international newspaper.

    This to me is harmful and a great embarrassment to this country.

    If we were not hated by Muslims by now then the last few who actually liked us don’t anymore.

    I am sure that many blinded Americans will not understand.

    How would you feel if some one spread a photo of a presidential candidate of another country in American clothes, so as to demean him and to keep him from getting elected?

    I know it sounds awful and very prejudice.

    How do you think this makes America look in the eyes of the world?

    This can not be good for America or the world.

    I wish Clinton would think about these things before spreading such photos to cause trouble. It’s extremely sad that a presidential hopeful could care less about causing more trouble in the world and spreading lies just to get votes.

    Hey quibish, where's the misinformation? If you don't like the words Obama wrote in his book, then tell him to take it off the market. I didn't write it, HE DID! HIS WORDS - NOT MINE. Get over it you sheep.

    In his first memoir, “Dreams from My Father,” Obama wrote:

    “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,”

    Although Obama spent various portions of his youth living with his white maternal grandfather and Indonesian stepfather, he vowed that he would “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.”

    Obama wrote that in high school, he and a black friend would sometimes speak disparagingly “about white folks this or white folks that, and I would suddenly remember my mother's smile, and the words that I spoke would seem awkward and false.”

    As a result, he concluded that “certain whites could be excluded from the general category of our distrust.”

    During college, Obama disapproved of what he called other “half-breeds” who gravitated toward whites instead of blacks. And yet after college, he once fell in love with a white woman, only to push her away when he concluded he would have to assimilate into her world, not the other way around. He later married a black woman.

    Such candid racial revelations abound in “Dreams,” which was first published in 1995, when Obama was 34 and not yet in politics. By the time he ran for his Senate seat in 2004, he observed of that first memoir: “Certain passages have proven to be inconvenient politically.”

    Thus, in his second memoir, “The Audacity of Hope,” which was published last year, Obama adopted a more conciliatory, even upbeat tone when discussing race. Noting his multiracial family, he wrote in the new book: “I’ve never had the option of restricting my loyalties on the basis of race, or measuring my worth on the basis of tribe.”

    This appears to contradict certain passages in his first memoir, including a description of black student life at Occidental College in Los Angeles.

    “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”

    He added: “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”

    Obama said he and other blacks were careful not to second-guess their own racial identity in front of whites.

    After graduating from college, Obama eventually went to Chicago to interview for a job as a community organizer. His racial attitudes came into play as he sized up the man who would become his boss.

    “There was something about him that made me wary,” Obama wrote. “A little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”
