New Children’s Book Coming from President Obama
ABCNews ^ | 9/14/10 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 09/14/2010 6:08:59 AM PDT by Kartographer

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.

Explaining “GRANDparenthood” to children.

Thats true. I can say with honesty I have always found her work vulgar and utterly unappealing. Today, a kid painting that crap, and a kid could do it, would be tossed out of school for the vulgarity of it.

“Shamming your way through the senate”

“how to make the right decision *or* always vote present”

“How to play the game. Trumping with the race card”

“How to talk to the wee weed up”

“Dreams of my Mother and why she is now pro abortion”
