Why are Obama's books being totally ignored by the media?

Question

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.'

Is Sarah Palin's wardrobe really more important?

Because there are way too many damaging quotes in those books such as the one where he says he will always choose to stand with his Muslim brothers in times of trouble. That isn't the exact quote but close enough. The Obamabots would be fine with anything but most of the thinking Democrats would know then that he is a socialist and has very scary plans for the U.S. He would never win if voters really knew anything about Obama.

I still think that someone in media made a bet that they can get anyone elected, and we are ending up with Obama.  They only talk about good things about him, and bad things are quickly hushed up.  I could not believe the book for children that betty boop below saw on amazon.com that supposedly presents him as deity.  I do not know if people are brainwashed or blinded, but how come they do not see the real him?  I am making the right choice next week and will vote McCain/Palin, no brainwashing for me :)

i think of you greater effective evaluate some thing completely distinctive: the U. S. isn't on top of issues of its destiny anymore. there isn't any adult men at the back of the curtains that would make Obama into the international locations' savior. interior the subsequent 4 years you will see abandoned strip department stores. Pinks slips galore. Tent cities doping up. Busy repo adult men. cities and states going bankrupt. and so on. There no thank you to evade this.

You raise a valid point.  The blatant double standard, in vetting Sarah Palin versus the vetting of Barack Obama, is sad and laughable.

The story about person who simulated a hanging of Palin in his backyard is also being ignored by the media.  Only Fox News is reporting it.  Journalism is dead.

I think it's unethical for the media to advertise Obama's books at this time in the campaign.  Just you wait; when Obama is inaugurated, his two books will start flying off the shelves.

If the media told about Obama's books, it isn't likely he would get elected.

They will, and have, ignored anything that speaks ill of their messiah. Including, and perhaps especially, his own words.

Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.

Because people are taking quotes out of context and trying to change their meaning. People who do that show their ignorance.
