INTERESTING' QUOTES FROM 'BARACK OBA'MA
"A Shovel Full Of Dirt'" By David :Pond ..,
The Essay "A Shovel Full of Dirt" was published May 28, 2009. The essay theme pre-
sented a Washington D. C. Administration and (ongressionalleadership which were rolling
. over American value, U.S. Security, and Economic stability like-a RunawayTrain. Our hope
for the survival of America and the American way of life isfor citizens to get their symbolic
shovels and build a mountain in front of this train-to slow it down and stop it.
This supplemental essay is written-to point out quotes from President Obama showing
his agendas. Since he seems to be the" engineer" on the Runaway Train, we need to
focus on him first.
PresidentObama was largeJy elected due to his charisma, oratory skills, p,romises of "Trans-
parency" and bipartlsanshlp. He also touted the popular "We Can"and ' Change" themes.
I think the election would not have been as decisive if more attention was paid to the
content of the two books written by Obama. Although the books do have some positive and
solely historic parts, there are excerpts that give us a view of his thinking that is contrary to
the way he was presented to the American people during campaigns and during pushes for
political agendas.
, . Our President - As presented by his own writings . ~i
The books that I have taken excerpts from are: "Dreams From My Father" - Published
by Three Rivers Press, New York, NY, Copyright 1995 & 2004 by Barack Obama & "The
Audacity of Hope" - Published by Vintage Books, a Division 'of Random House, Inc.,
Copyright 2006. by Barack Obama. . .. .'
I want to make rt very clear to whoever reads this essay thatl am NOT a radst, If you want
some insight as to whether or not your President is a racist, read the next few excerpts.
From "Dreams ...", page 85, Barack is mulling over his friend Ray's words " ...any distinc-
tion between good and bad whites held .negligible meaning.". .
From "Dreams ...", page 81, "Our rage atthe white world needed no object ... it could
be switched on and' off at our pleasure." . . . '. .
Would obem« rather be called an American or an African-American?
From "Dreams ... ", page 101, "No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were
on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names." (Remember
the incident with the Cambridge Police and "The Beer'Summit"?)
From" Dreams ...", page 220, " ..... white men and brown men whose fate didn't speak to
·myown. It was into my father's image, the black man, the son of Africa, that I'd packed all the
attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela."
From "Dreams ...", page 311, (while Obama is in Kenya) "Here the world was black,
and so you were just you; you could discover all those things that were unique to your'
life without living a lie or committing betrayal." .

From "Audacity; ..", page 242, "During the five years that we would live with my
step-father in Indonesia, I was sent first to a neighborhood Catholic school and then to
a predominantly Muslim school." .. .
. From" Audacity .... ", page 242, "Although my father had been raised a Muslim, by the
time he met my mother he was a confirmed atheist," .
. From" Dreams ... ", page 86,. "I imagined myself following Malcolm's discovery toward
the end of his life, that some whites might live beside him as brothers in Islam"
From "Audacity ... ", page 241, "But I was made to understand that such religious
samplings required no sustained commitment on my part - no introspective exertion or
self-flagellation." .
From "AudaCity .. ", page 245 & 246, "in the black community, the liries between sinner
and saved were more fluid;" . .
From "Audacity ... ", page 235, "1 circulated to my staff and had the language changed
to state in dearbut simple terms my pro-chokepositlon." ..' . . .
From "Audacity ... ", page 255, "1 am suggesting·that we proqresslves.,:" page 253-25'6,
the term" progressive' is used five times in four pages in Obama's chapter on "faith".
From "Audacity ...", page 260, "To base one's life on such uncompromising commitments may
be sublime; to base our policy making on such commitments Would be a dangerous thing."

I To end this supplemental essay I want to show the quote that most alarms me out of
Obama's books. . ,
From" Dreams...." , page 315, "A voice saysto him yes, changes have tome, the old ways lie
broken, and you must find a way as fast as you can to feed your belly and stop the white man
from laughing at you. A voice says no, you will sooner burn the earth to the ground." .
