Rocco Landesman, the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) chairman, said, in part:

"This is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to write them really well since Lincoln. If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar. That has to be good for American artists."...

Was there some kind of barf alert?

[fhayek]

I’m still unconvinced about his writing ability. Perhaps if we could get a peek at his college thesis...

This is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt

Prove it.

[April Lexington]

Nice compliment there, Billy Ayers...

[parsifal]

It’s true! Read this by Barack:

I came.
I saw.
I screwed it up worse.

parsy, who says tell me that ain’t right up there with Julius

[a fool in paradise]

The Obama Administration is on record co-opting the National Endowment For The Arts to serve as the State Propaganda office for Obama’s policies.

[April Lexington]

If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar.

This statement defies logic.

[BenLurkin]

Caeser?

Ha!

[RobbyS]

He’s nuts. Besides TR wrote books about things besides TR.

[RobbyS]

He may have the same level of ambition as Caesar.

[April Lexington]

Hemingway, maybe. But Caesar? Really!

[fhayek]

Once you have written about The One, what else is there to write about?

[April Lexington]

Rush Limbaugh is an American and he writes too. What about him?

[VR-21]

People like Rocco Landesman could give bootlickers and sychophants a bad name.

[SatinDoll]

Rush Limbaugh writes his own books and can speak with a teleprompter.

Barack H. Obama II can do neither.

[Always Right]

[Cicero]

"Obama est omnis divisa in partes tres, quarum unam incolunt MauMaui, aliam Islamisti, tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Socialisti, nostra Communisti appellantur."

[GladesGuru]

Forget Perot’s “Sucking sound of jobs going south”.

Now we get the sucking sound of a commie artist praising the Obamassiah. All this on our tax dollars, no less.

BAH! HUMBUGGERY ! ! !
