The White House has released a list of books that President Obama is expected to read during his two week vacation with family members.
The list includes the Pulitzer Prize winning book “The Sixth Extinction” by Elizabeth Kolbert. It predicts an upcoming devastating extinction like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs. This disaster, the book asserts, would be partially because of global warming and climate change.
“When we use fossil fuels, we are reversing geological history by taking organisms that were buried millions of years ago and pumping their carbon back into the atmosphere at a very fast rate,” the author told the New York Times in 2014.
Humans, she asserts, are now the “asteroid” of chaos like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.
Kolbert’s previous book, “Field Notes From a Catastrophe,” was more focused on the threat of climate change.
Obama might also crack the covers of “Between the World and Me,” a book by Ta-Nehisi Coates, which is described as a bold personal exploration of racial history in America. According to the New York Times, it is a “searing meditation on what it means to be black in America today.”
Another Pulitzer Prize winning book among the president’s reads is “All The Light We Cannot See” a story about a blind French girl and a German boy in World War II.

I don’t suppose there’s a huge iceberg headed to Martha’s vineyard by chance.

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I wonder who he gets to explain the meanings of all “the big words” to him.
He may need help coloring them in.
If it doesn’t have big pictures on every page, I do not believe Obama is reading it.
Is it a coloring book?
Oops! You already covered that. lol
Actually the meteor theory has been debunked. The idea being that their brains simply too small for their bodies.
And today, seems like scientist too have small brains.
I work for a company that is green crazy run by libs. But when I talk to everyday people, so many do not believe in this HOAX.
It was too obvious.
Yeah.......riiiiight he really is going to read that book. More like watch ESPN.
He hasn't actually "read" anything since his Choom Gang days, but he likes to have his picture taken holding the latest liberal diatribes.
Does he read them from his teleprompter?
It looks so natural.
He should be working on his autobio..

Does anyone really still believe that the one trillion barrels of oil pumped out of the ground so far are really the decomposed remains of some kind of dead animals or insects that just happen to go to the same place to decompose?
