Oy, I have a political question. I always said I would never get involved in heated political discussions...

I had an e-mail forwarded to me re: Obama. It had select quotes from his books and, to be honest, I was not sure if this was a true quote (I could not find it on snopes.com) and I never read the book. I was hoping that someone would shed some light on this. This isn't a supporter vs non-supporter question. Nor, do I want to start drama. Although I am tempted to not vote at all because I really do not like either canidate at all at this point. However, I do realize that e-mail/internet rumors get circulated quite frequently. I would rather take the educated stance at the very least.

So, with further ado...here is the quote:

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

I wasn't sure if this was even really said, or what the context was. Could someone shed some light who has read the book and isn't biased.

Thanks..

Please no drama

I think i remember someone actually posting the whole text that it was taken out of on here. If you do a search, you might be able to find it.

I delete all of the political emails that i get- even if its for someone i support. Its like a bad game of telephone, and i dont want to base my vote on a long line of interpretations.

Thank you! I read it and am actually sending a link of this to the individual who sent me the e-mail (the exact e-mail referenced on this snopes page)

Sorry I could not find it myself. It was my first time on snopes.com

Thanks for posting the link

I feel that even if you don't like either canidate, you should be educated on both to the fullest extent.
