	VDARE.com: 08/16/04 - What Kind Of People Are 'People Like Obama'?
		Obama, a half-fl and half-white icon of multiracialism, was the star of the convention in the press in the following days.
		Obama, his greatest virtue appears to be not what the party spokesman suggested were his "moderate views" (in fact, they are predictably left-wing) but his race or purported lack thereof.
		Obama in other words is both a living testament to the power of fl racial consciousness and identity and at the very same time a living renunciation of white racial identity.

	Transcript: Illinois Senate Candidate Barack Obama (washingtonpost.com) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		OBAMA: They know that parents have to teach, that children can't achieve unless we raise their expectations and turn off the television sets and eradicate the slander that says a fl youth with a book is acting white.
		OBAMA: And as I listened to him explain why he had enlisted -- the absolute faith he had in our country and its leaders, his devotion to duty and service -- I thought, this young man was all that any of us might ever hope for in a child.
		OBAMA: Hope in the face of difficulty, hope in the face of uncertainty, the audacity of hope: In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation, a belief in things not seen, a belief that there are better days ahead.

	Obama, Bean, Lipinski sworn in

		Obama and Hastert are planning large receptions in the grand halls of the Library of Congress today, and Durbin is expecting hundreds at a reception he is hosting at the Capitol.
		Obama invited a group to dine with him tonight at Butterfield 9, a restaurant in downtown Washington.

	"The Great Black Hope" by Benjamin Wallace-Wells

		July 28th, 2004 3:31 PM Last night Barack Obama spoke for Illinois, “the crossroads of the nation,” from his own station at the junction of cultures.
		The candidate was describing people he hardly knew—he never met his grandfather, and his father left home when Obama was young, and died years ago—to a crowd that, for the most part, had little notion of the world he described.
		Both Obama and Teresa Heinz Kerry swapped the struggles of colonialism and apartheid for America’s own civil rights struggle, but their references to Africa came wrapped in steel: In America last night, there were no partisans to revise these accounts of the continent's colonial struggles.

		Obama spoke like a real human being ought to, and he was hoping that real human beings might recognize the language, no matter what they call themselves at the polls.
		And, I had the thought, this man, Obama, exhibits the all of the values that Bill Cosby has been asking Blacks to instill in their children, to be bright, educated, well-spoken, and respectful.

		Born in 1961 to a white American woman and a fl Kenyan student, Obama was reared in Hawaii by his mother and her parents, his father having left for further study and a return home to Africa.
		Obama is also candid about racism, poverty and corruption in Chicago, and he pulls no punches in his account of this period.
		Obama is open in the preface about using changed names and composite characters to expedite the flow and ensure privacy of those around him, but it does somewhat lessen the impact of his story when one starts to wonder who was real and who was a fictionalized character.
