For whatever reason I seem to constantly receive E-Mails about Obama. So as usual, I'm going to post this one and I'd like to know what you guys think.

Here it is:



Quotes from Obama's Book, "Dreams From 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."

"There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white." -In an interview with a man from Chicago who was white.

"It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

"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."

I don't understand the reason behind putting a black woman and a white man on the cover, when he had a black father and a white mother. Anyone know why?
