Obama says he has little pieces of america all in him.

I asked the question and I ask again sincerely, and if someone has a different take, please let me know. I truly do not understand.

His mother is white which makes him half white, why would he associate himself with someone who hates half of himself?

Its a very harsh read but I think its important to read because it adds a different perspective

on edit: it was posted in the editorial forum initially. I don't believe its gone into gd:p and I think its best it not go in.

8. My god you post that in GD-P and the Internet's tubez will explode!

Ye gods. It is harsh, and I don't think entirely true...the "hate America" is interpretation, not fact. I don't think Obama hates America, although I don't think he loves it, either. I think he's ambivalent, as many people are.

9. Its a out there and I can't say he hates America either

no one knows but himself. BUT it ads creedence to his association with Wright and this was written well before shit hit the fan for him. Its resonates with hate, dislike, anger whatever anyone wants to call it.

and my point of view about the article is; Other nations are calling it like they see it. They don't sugarcoat or shelter people from a point of view that may be hard to swallow.

10. True, it does give a perspective we'll never get here

You can accept or reject it. I happen to agree with parts of it...it explains Michelle's very evident anger, for example. I always thought she almost bristles with anger in some of her speeches.

3. He's got something all in him and it ain't pieces of America. n/t

5. LOL! That remark from O was just begging for this sort of response!

I'll just leave it to people's imagination, too!
