OK Obama believers...is Obama for America or for the terrorists who say they want him to be president?

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

Update:

Read his book ..that is what he said in print..without a teleprompter

Update 2:

Stakola..yes that is exactly what he said,,,should it be between them he will stand with them and keep them out of something that happened before...he will side with the Muslims..thank you!

Update 3:

Hope you all that vote for him are satisfied with higher taxes, less national security and hope the islamic terrorists don't happen to land a plane on your wife, husband and children. And when the Supreme Court takes away your constitutional rights..remember that you voted for socialism

Update 4:

Not a Hillary supporter at all..American here..not a racist..still there is no one who can tell me why the terrorists support him and why you would vote for him...they are against us and want to destroy us after all.

Update 5:

Sorry guys I was talking about radical, extremists Muslims..but actually their own book talks about hating those that are a different belief than them..so if they are really practicing what they believe..I have to wonder

    Well there you have it....from his own lips, but his supporters refuse to see this as disturbing, I guess they don't remember 9/11...he scares me. He is in with "them"...

    EDIT...to the two morons above me...he did too write it...it's in there...read it ...you will see.

    If Bush replaced into so incompetent approximately terrorism why are not there bombs going off daily all around the rustic? Obamas vice chairman Biden warned that there may be complication interior 6 months. shall we wish he's incorrect, yet whilst something does ensue, earlier asserting something i might wait and notice what Obama does approximately it, earlier and after.

    I would also stand with the Muslims if the political winds shifted in an ugly direction and they were facing the possibility of internment or other government sanctioned discriminations, just like any decent American would. That is, after all, what the ENTIRE passage was talking about that you are quoting.

    Oh crap, you DID read the book, right? Or are you one of those illiterate Hillary supporters?

    Edit: alion300, that is EXACTLY what he meant. I am not an Obama supporter, but I will be damned if I am going to stand by and let another Hillary Bigot smear artist tear down Obama for no good reason.

    While I'd agree with stackoladan on the context of what Obama said in this one particular instance, there are many, MANY other things Obama has said where he has manifested his confused liberal ideology, his hostility toward white/mainstream America, and his overall poor judgement, despite some pretty and high-sounding fluff in his speeches.

    *********

    P.S. : It's not that Obama is muslim that's the issue, or that all muslims are terrorists. Many muslims are very patriotic Americans because they escaped persecution in their own country by coming here, and can actually practice Islam more freely here than they could in their own country.

    The issue is whether, in addition to being pro-muslim, if Obama just has bad ideas that would fail to protect the U.S. from RADICAL islam. The kind of liberals that the Iranian government and Al Qaeda call "useful idiots", who take principled stands that undermine U.S. national interests, and advance their own radical islamic objectives, wittingly or unwittingly.

    In the post 9/11 era, that quote alone should have knocked him from the race. Of course, Wright should have also. Farrakhan should have also. Ayers should have also...................

    Not all Muslims are terrorists-in fact most of them aren't.

    I haven't read the book,but it's possible that he meant if the

    Muslim minority in America were to be persecuted because of the actions of extremists,he would stand with them.

    If he were to get voted, and wound up supporting terrorists, he would be kicked out of office, faster than a shooting cannon ball.

    This in no way reflects who my vote is for.

    This quote is taken way out of context. He doesn't want the innocent Muslims to be treated like the Japanese in World War II. Let me get the real quote for you.

    From The Audacity of Hope (The REAL quote)

    "Whenever I appear before immigrant audiences, I can count on some good-natured ribbing from my staff after my speech; according to them, my remarks always follow a three-part structure: "I am your friend," "[Fill in the home country] has been a cradle of civilization," and "You embody the American dream." They're right, my message is simple, for what I've come to understand is that my mere presence before these newly minted Americans serves notice that they matter, that they are voters critical to my success and full-fledged citizens deserving of respect.

    "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." [Page 260-261]

    Edit:

    Yes he will stand with the Muslims because there is a lot of bad sentiment toward them following 9/11. That is not right. Someone needs to stand up for the innocent ones. It doesn't make him a Muslim or a terrorist like you and your like minded friends think. Stop spreading the lies. Were the terrorists Jewish or Christian or atheist? No they were Muslim.

    If any of you republicans bother to actually read Audacity of Hope as I have, prepare to be inspired and most likely have a new found respect for Obama.

    If you want to use his book to attack him, you're barking up the wrong tree.

    i hate him. so much. mccain so deserves it way more. hes been in a war, and in prison during the war. in church they read a quote from him, that he wrote in prison. it was amazing, but idr it it was really long. it was kinda like a story he wrote. but yeah.

    obamas done nothing for us. the only reason why ppl want him to be president is so we can say we have a black president....stupidest reason in the world.

    im not racist and everyone thinks i am for saying that, but i have 2 friends who are black, ones my best friend. so there. im not racist. he just would do nothing and has done nothing to show it. his pastor said, "not God bless american, God d*** america"...some pastor. and his congregation is gonna run america? this country was founded on God

  • 1 decade ago

    I don't know who he is for. He has not done a good job of showing his love and concern for the American people. But Hillary Clinton has. I trust her. I don't trust Obama. I would not buy a used car from him.
