Obama's summer reading list
Politico44 ^ | 08/20/11 | CRAIG HOWIE

The mystery of President Obama’s summer reading list has been solved, but don’t expect it to be the last chapter in the Martha’s Vineyard trip-to-the-bookstore page-turner.

Over the years, the annual presidential pickup has become something of an unputdownable, and mystery lovers, bibliophiles and White House observers waited on tenterhooks overnight to see which books Obama bought during a vacation stop at the Bunch of Grapes bookstore in Vineyard Haven on Friday.

Finally, Saturday’s pool reports revealed that POTUS bought two books for himself: “The Bayou Trilogy,” a collection by Daniel Woodrell, and “Rodin's Debutante” by Ward Just.

I don’t believe it.

He will be brushing up on Das Kapital, The Little Red Book, Rules for Radicals and Cloward-Piven:

Interesting that most of the Party Propaganda Ministry (formerly known as "the media") has only mentioned these two books.

the Pres__ent also picked up a copy of Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World." A few outlets have mentioned it, but all have pointed out that the book is on the required reading list for Malia's school this year.

I hope that's the case. I hope he didn't just buy that to find a plan to announce in his big speech when vacation is over.

I hear that he is reviewing the classics... starting with “Go Dog Go”.

There’s a little commie book shop/coffee shop at the beach in NC that features Jane Fonda, Obama, Kennedy tripe on it’s shelves. Every morning I go in for coffee I turn the books around. It’s fun!

Maybe he should start by reading the Consitution instead of wiping his ass with it.

...and reading 1984 as a manual.

You can look on the Sidwell website. Brave New World is on the reading list for 8th graders, along with several other books.

He may want to read David Limbaugh’s “Crimes against Liberty”. It has his picture on the cover. Then get Biden to explain it to him.

Could we send him pocket-sized editions of the U.S. Constitution care of that fancy inn he’s staying in? Would they deliver them?

This is just more lies to try to convince dummies that he is a “reader” and an intellectual. Look at his schedule: golf, parties, fancy dinners, rubbing shoulders with big donors, more golf. With all that going on, he wouldn’t have time to read one book, let alone more. This guy and all his Democrat sympathizers wouldn’t know truth if it hit them in the face. This is all for show. I doubt that he even has somebody read a book for him and give him a synopsis.
