A childrens 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 OKeeffe. 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 Obamas 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.

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 books release to coincide with the release of George Bush 43s book. Competing a bit, are we, Obama? In your continuing attempt to pimp Bush in any way you can. Disgusting piece of bad form
40 pages is a lot, and Obama has so much to do.
His first attempt was somebody else's dream about his father.
39 of the pages are filled with:
I umm err uhhh Bushes fault uhmmmm ehhh errr Cheny ummmm.....
Not to worry, Bill Ayers will ghost write the entire thing.
COOL!! Another Obama book!!! (Say,,does anyone happen to know who the author of this one will be?)
Starting to sound like Lil Kim in North Korea.
He wrote a children’s book ... while running the country?
A 40 page book? He'll have colors left over.................
He’s got nothing else to do.
“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!
it has a lot of duh, um um um um me me me I I I in it, will take up 90% of book.
Did Chippy say that without giggling hysterically & wearing his Presidential Kneepads?
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.
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.
I wonder if Bill Ayers is going to help him write it.
A coloring book about himself. “Barry and the Magic Pen” Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm.
