NEW YORK (AP) -- Coming two weeks after Election Day, a book from President Barack Obama for some of the nation's nonvoters: inspirational stories for children about American pioneers.

"Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters" is a tribute to 13 groundbreaking Americans, from the first president, George Washington, to baseball great Jackie Robinson to artist Georgia O'Keeffe. It will be released Nov. 16 by Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Random House Children's Books, which will officially announce the new work Tuesday. Knopf declined to identify the other 10 subjects.

He taught his daughters to goose step?

I think that's less a goose step and more a 'she's thrown her knee out of joint' type step.

Redistribute HIS wealth, not mine. While we are at it, redistribute ALL of Congress’s pay, benefits and wealth.

Then we can talk about redistributing my “wealth”.

Was this the contract he signed right before he took office to skirt ethics rules.

You nailed it. This will make the media gush but the electorate will be saying “Get your lazy good for nothing ass to work!”

I would say Random House is suspect. Who was Obama again in 2004? Talk about a no talent nobody who sure makes alot of dough “selling” books. What a joke. Why didn't he list “author” as his occupation instead of community organizer. Obama would make a wonderful 1st lady.

...

“The president will donate any author proceeds to “a scholarship fund for the children of fallen and disabled soldiers serving our nation,” the publisher said in a statement.”

(Yeah right ... He HATES the military and his “apology tour” demonstrates that FACT.)

Yeah, either their “gay” or busy aborting them to keep their “carbon footprint down” so they can “save the earth”.

Are you kidding....It’ll be added to the mandatory reading list at every school in the country. Sales are therefore guaranteed.

I would have thought it would have a scorpion on the cover
carrying a taxpayer across a stream with the title,
“Of thee I STING!”.

“Of thee I STING!”.

Or "I am the king!" (in his own mind.)

Typical - Capitalism is bad except when I exploit the masses!

O-bow-ma knows he is a one term pResident and is looking to make as much as he can before being booted.

This book is just a cover up: O-bow-ma has stolen untold millions from the porkulus - this book is just a way to launder the money. You watch, it will be bought by every school across the nation. Absolutely shameless.

No President has ever written a book while still in office; even successful Presidents.
