As part of the book deal then-Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., inked in 2004, Random House today announced the publication of a children’s book by the president, “Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters.”
The book will be released on November 16 – roughly two weeks after the midterm elections -- with a 500,000-copy first printing.
“Of Thee I Sing,” which President Obama finished writing in 2008, describes thirteen “groundbreaking Americans and the ideals that have shaped our nation—from the artistry of Georgia O’Keeffe, to the courage of Jackie Robinson, to the patriotism of George Washington,” the publisher said in a statement. It is illustrated by Loren Long.

My Obama,’ tis of thee,
he took my liberty, of thee I sing;
he took my father’s pride,
he bankrupted pilgrims’ pride,
he hocked every mountainside, let debt ring!
I read this article yesterday and realized that I didn't know much about Georgia O'Keeffe and her "groundbreaking ideals", so I did some research on her. Seems that she had an affair with a photographer, whom then divorced his wife and married Georgia, then he took naked pictures of Georgia and published them. Oh, and she painted some pretty pictures.
What time is Baraq’s indoctrination speech to America’s school children today? We need another FR live thread.
“My Obama,’ tis of thee,
he took my liberty, of thee I sing;
he took my father’s pride,
he bankrupted pilgrims’ pride,
he hocked every mountainside, let debt ring!”

Sounds like Obama times his book’s release to coincide with the release of George Bush 43’s book. Competing a bit, are we, Obama? In your continuing attempt to pimp Bush in any way you can. Disgusting piece of bad form.

Knowing Obama, the last “great American” he’ll include will be himself... fittingly, #13.
Awwww... a children’s book. Pathos pathos pathos - what a swell guy. Guess it’s time to stop thinking and support Great Leader and all his efforts. Imagine working in a children’s book between all the vacations, concerts, date-nights, and weekend parties.
Good morning. Well done.
Just remember, no exploiting Obama’s daughters—unless it is he himself putting them on the cover of a book.
