IN OBAMA'S OWN WORDS............
Subject: IN OBAMA'S OWN WORDS............
This guy wants to be our President and control our government. Pay
close attention to the last comment!! Below are a few lines from
Obama's books in his words:
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 mothers 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.'
From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the
political winds shift in an ugly direction.'
And these were collected withing the past few months...
* Last May, he claimed that Kansas tornadoes killed a whopping 10,000
people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in
Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual
death toll: 12.
*Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States:
“Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United
States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”
*Last week, in front of a roaring Sioux Falls, South Dakota audience,
Obama exulted: “Thank you Sioux City…I said it wrong. I’ve been in Iowa
for too long. I’m sorry.”
*Explaining last week why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky,
Obama again botched basic geography: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much
better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not
surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in
the middle.” On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?
*Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. Last March,
on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Alabama, he
claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement:
“There was something stirring across the country because of what
happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march
across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”
Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His
spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was “speaking
metaphorically about the civil rights movement as a whole.”
*Earlier this month in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Obama showed off his
knowledge of the war in Afghanistan by honing in on a lack of
translators: “We only have a certain number of them and if they are all
in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them in Afghanistan.” The real
reason it’s “harder for us to use them” in Afghanistan: Iraqis speak
Arabic or Kurdish. The Afghanis speak Pashto, Farsi, or other non-Arabic
languages.
*Over the weekend in Oregon, Obama pleaded ignorance of the decades-old,
multi-billion-dollar massive Hanford nuclear waste clean-up:
“Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that
is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know
exactly what’s going on there. (Applause.) Now, having said that, I
promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride
back to the airport.”
I assume on that ride, a staffer reminded him that he’s voted on at
least one defense authorization bill that addressed the “costs,
schedules, and technical issues” dealing with the nation’s most
contaminated nuclear waste site.
*Last March, the Chicago Tribune reported this little-noticed nugget
about a fake autobiographical detail in Obama’s “Dreams from My Father:”
“Then, there’s the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his
racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two
accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and
mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life
article and the photographs don’t exist, say the magazine’s own historians.”
* And in perhaps the most seriously troubling set of gaffes of them all,
Obama told a Portland crowd over the weekend that Iran doesn’t “pose a
serious threat to us”–cluelessly arguing that “tiny countries” with
small defense budgets can’t do us harm– and then promptly flip-flopped
the next day, claiming, “I’ve made it clear for years that the threat
from Iran is grave.”
Barack Obama–promoted by the Left and the media as an all-knowing,
articulate, transcendent Messiah–is a walking, talking gaffe machine.
How many more passes does he get? How many more can we afford?
