“This seems to me to be a Bill Ayers written part of the book.”
I had the same thought, Obama is just reading Ayers, with passion but no thought. OTOH, this is the type of point a communist like Ayers can flip 180* in mid-sentence without blinking.
Like the commies in 1941 flipping from loving Hitler to hating him literally over night.
Here is a much better analysis of who actually wrote Obama’s “Audacity of Hope”. Some Bill Ayers but it is also a lot of stump speeches which were written by various people. IOW lazy arse Hussein copy and pasted into book form his stump speeches
