Posted this yesterday, but want your comments/opinions too.
This statement by my daughter didn’t make sense to me day before yesterday, but it does now.
8 year old daughter comes up to me and said “Mama, did they have a bunch of books on George Bush?” I asked why (confused) and she said “Because they have SOOOO many books about Obama at school. They even have books about his DOG!!!”
This makes me sick.
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
At least they didn't say "lilly white" or "white as white bread".
But why mama and daddy? Mother and Father, Mama und Papa, Mom and Dad. Mommy and Daddy.
And why wasn't the title Barack has two daddies?
And how God wants to Damn AmeriKKKa. < /sarc >

That's what the COLB says:
If she asks why people are so angry with the president over the rush to pass health care legislation, remind her that he spent more time deciding on a dog for their family than on the health care bill.
Being a tolerant American, no one should take sides with regards to skin color.
The author is a bigot.
From Amazon

I found this PDF interview with the author of one of the books:
http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/SS.EMS/ObamaQA.pdf
which appears to have been published by Simon & Schuster (pwned by Viacom, parent company to SeeBS).
From the Library School Journal review:
“Grimes’s imagery, however, is occasionally overblown as both Hope and God speak directly to Obama. His impressive life story needs no inflating, and the heavy imagery gets in the way of the message....Despite the overly laudatory tone, this book is an appealing addition to biography collections.”
From a 3of5 stars review by a Barack supporter:
“However, I thought the asides from the mother and her child were a little distracting, a “forced” questioning innocence from the child and an almost condescending tone from the mother. Most distracting, as noted by other reviewers, was the “Lion King/Messiah/Star Wars/Chosen One” kind of vibe given to Obama throughout the narrative. This was the dangerously-close-to-conceit part of the book that made me wince. While it’s good to teach children to respect the President of the United States, this book fairly jumps across the line from respect to breathless worship.... President-Elect Barack Obama is an ordinary man. A deeply talented speaker, brilliant thinker and professor (Harvard Law School, people!), and arguably the most disciplined politician I’ve ever seen—BUT, an ordinary man. A devoted loving husband and father, BUT an ordinary man. He’s NOT “The One/Golden Child/Messiah/Moses Of The 21st Century”, and it’s dangerous to put him on that pedestal.”
And from a 5of5 star review:
“I’m giving this 5 stars simply because this is the most hilarious laugh out loud book I have read in a very long time. First you must realize that this is a work of pure science fiction once you understand that then you are good to go.”
And another 5of5 star review:
“I scanned the pages of this book in the bookstore, saw one illustration that made me wonder if the book was more religious than I’d like, but I bought for my grandson anyway. At home the first thing I did was check the Amazon price. The average customer rating was a dismal 2.5, but I noticed a curious thing: all reviews were either 1 star or 5 star—nothing in between. How odd! Might something other than objectivity be at work here?
So I read each review, then actually read the book I’d bought. My professional opinion, as an editor for 44 years and a writer of 11 published books, is that this book is well written. It’s attractively illustrated. The message is one of hope, with the religious reference one tiny part of the whole...”
This isn’t a joke, is it? I thought it was a joke. Are they seriously reading this to the kids in public schools? Just... wow.
I hope my books never find their way to that editor. He’s obviously a pinhead bigot.
