I would like to compare what Obama wrote about George Washington and what make him a hero, compared to how Bill Bennett wrote about him in his children's book, “The Children's Book of Heroes”

In Bennett's book Washington was a courageous man even when everything in the world was not going his way. And a prayerful man, who trusted God despite all of it. And Bennett's list of heroes we can all agree with is a better list than Obama’s. Bennett has Lincoln and Washington, but also includes Father Flanagan” of Boys Town, Mother Teresa, Jackie Robinson (hey a black hero that Obama left out), and a young boy (just like any boy who may be reading the book, in a chapter called Hero of Indian Cliffs)

I got this for my son, and he loves it.

Thanks for that Link.
I thought of buying my grandkids (9&5) 'children's books' from the Reagan Presidential Library. Maybe I'll add Bennet's book(s) to the list. They sell his books there too.
