As much as I hate to admit this, my in-laws will get this book for my kids.
The ashes are going straight into the trash.

Imagine a *real* letter to his daughters. “If you try to fill your unmet need for a caring father through promiscuous sex with Marxist trash - in the manner of your poor grandmother, Stanley Ann - I’ll make sure you’re not punished with a baby, the way she was. Um, er, well, maybe not exactly like ... but let me be perfectly clear, you’ll get your free abortions!”

From the title this is nothing more than propaganda to make people think he is an American.

If you see this book in book stores, please turn it around. The Obama’s don’t want their daughters being used for political purposes.

What three year old has the attention span for a 40 page political book? The Shy Little Kitten as I recall, was about ten.

Check out the Urban Dictionary on the word usage for Georgia O’Keefe
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=georgia%20o%20keefe

Maybe the inclusion of Georgia O’Keefe in the book is a ‘shout out’ to former Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders and her stance on masturbation.

And that's not mentioning the subtitle – honestly, what children's book has a subtitle?

The subtitle is absolutely essential, because it ensures that first-person references ("I," "My") outnumber second-person references ("Thee"). Heck, without it, the two would be equal!

13 "inspirational tales" of American pioneers

It will be interesting to see how he manages to make this one about himself.

Why does the President of the United States have enough time to write a book?

a set of 13 "inspirational tales" of American pioneers.

Hmmm .... wonder which pioneers he picked and how did he rewrite the tales/history to suit his political purposes?

“Respectfully, Mr Obama, I’d stick to writing treaties.”

I’d encourage him to do the opposite. Just spend his time writing children’s books and the world is better off.

Most children's modern stories follow the following format:

1. In a fantasy world, one person is different: (round, not pointy head, no star on belly, red nose, etc.)

2. Different person is shunned by normals.

3. Different person somehow saves the day, or normals just come to accept him as he is.

Optional reality version: 'Different' person is actually black and the 'normals' are all bigoted, redneck, Southern (this is especially important), racists.
