For the children Wire: Obama book due after vote (Barry writing a 40 page book!)
politico ^ | 9/14/2010 | p

Posted on 09/14/2010 7:52:00 AM PDT by milwguy

A children’s book written by President Obama about famous Americans will be released two weeks after the midterm elections, the AP reports.

The 40-page book, “Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters,” will include the stories of George Washington, Jackie Robinson and Georgia O’Keeffe. Obama will donate the money earned from the book, which will sell for roughly $18, to a scholarship fund for children of military members killed or injured, the wire reports.

The cover of the book has an illustration of Obama’s daughters, Sasha and Malia, walking their dog, Bo, the AP says. The book will be released Nov. 16.

“It is an honor to publish this extraordinary book, which is an inspiring marriage of words and images, history and story,” Chip Gibson, the publisher of Random House, which is publishing the book, said in a statement, according to the AP.

While I applaud the POTUS giving the $ to scholarship fund for military kids, doesn't he have a few more important things to do than waste time writing a book? Of course, if you look at his schedule for today, which is pretty typical of his work days, you will understand that he has plenty of time to golf, play basketball, go on vacation, and write a book....

He feels he has to get the kids while they are young and impressionable.

I posted this on another thread; it fits here too:

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

Will Bill Ayers be ghost-writing it?

40 pages is a lot, and Obama has so much to do.

WOW! His very first book that he wrote himself!

His first attempt was somebody else's dream about his father.

Not to worry, Bill Ayers will ghost write the entire thing.

“doesn’t he have a few more important things to do than waste time writing a book”?

...like what?! Continue destroying the country? Give him a crayon and a fresh pack of smokes and let him write all the books he wants.

So George Washington, Jackie Robinson and Georgia O’Keeffe are roughly moral equivalents? Not in my book!

Did Chippy say that without giggling hysterically & wearing his Presidential Kneepads?

9:30 am - 2:30 pm (most of it in flight & giving a speech)

Wow, what a hard day Obama is going to have today.

No wonder the country is in the shape it is in with a slacker-n-chief running it. Once a community organizing bum always a community organizing bum.

Hitler wrote books and other propaganda materials to promote his views

The book "Mein Kampf" was one of Hitler's most famous works. Through use of this and other books and writings of his, Hitler was able to present his views to the children under his authority. Such children were expected to read these books, and therefore to absorb his lies into their young and impressionable minds. Such writings therefore greatly helped Hitler in his goal of brainwashing and controlling these children.
