Anything taken out of context can be made to infer anything.

That's a rhetorical question, right?

It's amazing what a little context will do to an argument.

OBAMA IS NOT A RACIST.
Identifying with a race does not make one a racist. I identify as white, I play hockey, can make three-pointers and can't dunk, but I am certainly not a racist. I have numerous friends who are half-black, and some of them identify as white, some as black, and some as mixed. Also, describing teenaged angst in a biography is nothing new. Plenty of teenagers of the 1970s were angry, that's how the Reagan revolution started.

unfortunately, the woman who wrote the snopes article for the national review died a couple of years ago.

here is her obituary. notice a key word in the title.

Catherine Seipp, 49; conservative media critic who took on the L.A. Times - Los Angeles Times

the national review is a conservative publication.

"from the left coast" is a reference to the fact that she was a conservative living in a very liberal area (l.a.).

That is the most ridiculous and funniest thing I have read all morning! Thanks for the laugh!

Yes he is. Obama: "I think that whether you are a white executive living out in the suburbs, who doesn’t want to pay taxes to inner-city children for them to go to school..."

The 'white' in Obama's statement is completely unnecessary. As anyone who has ever been to the Chicago suburbs (or any large city's suburbs) knows, they are very racially diverse.

The statement is also inaccurate. As I posted before, suburban taxpayers pay for ~95% of their own school districts' budgets PLUS they pay for 30% of the Chicago Public School system's budget. Obama and his Chicago pals of all racial identities are the ones who don't want to pay for inner-city children to go to school. Obama was lying and race-baiting - no doubt about it.

Haha.... what party is mine again? Last I checked, none.

This is pretty simple, child. Obama wrote a book. You can purchase it or read it online from any bookstore in the world.

You can see for yourself that Jennysquirrel's post is a lie.

Snopes and factcheck and truthorfiction have already done this for you, but if you think they are shams do it for yourself.

Do you really have nothing of value to contribute beyond just ranting against what you perceive to be the "other" ideology?

We're talking about easily verifiable facts, and in this case you are wrong in your conclusion. Try researching before jumping to conclusions that our president is a racist terrorist or whatever you have been brainwashed to believe.

Educate up, baby!

That highlighted line cracked me up.
