Is this really in his book??

From Audacity of Hope:

'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

And, great article at:

I don't think they can make the assertion if it isn't true. It is libel.

"...my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

But seeing as how Obama and his supporters consider it perfectly acceptable to lie, it doesn't bother me if a few get spread about him.
