Is this a move to grab the influential under-12 demographic in the midterms?

Barack Obama, New York Times bestselling author and President of the United States, is finally fulfilling the terms of his three-book, $1.9 million deal with Random House with the forthcoming release of the children's book Of Thee I Sing: A Letter To My Daughters. Obama's earlier books include the nonfiction hits Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope.

According to its publisher, the book (illustrated by Loren Long) will be "a moving tribute to thirteen groundbreaking Americans and the ideals that have shaped our nation."

So he wrote this on our dime while he was supposed to be working? But he'll keep the profits? Being a Democratic politician pays about as well as working at a hedge fund these days, doesn't it? Even the food's the same!!

How about “The Audacity of National Socialism.”

The Obama girls can dress as Nazi youth.

It makes sense, obama could get hours of reading pleasure from a STOP sign.

He’s acting more and more like a Dear Leader or that freak from Turkmenistan.

Soon, he’ll change Sunday to “Obamaday.”

Friday and Saturday will be the weekend, to comply with Sharia.

Finally! The Pres does something that isn’t above his pay grade. Hope he has spell check.

Bill Ayers wanted more $ for his ghostwriting services this time. They had to hunt around in the Stimulus Package to find a way of laundering the cash.

When this is released, I’ll be waiting for someone to run the various sentence length and vocabulary checks, then compare them to the previous two Obama books... and to Ayre’s writings, as well.

“A financial disclosure form released by the White House in May 2010 refers to an agreement — originated in 2004, amended on Jan. 9, 2009, shortly before Obama became president — for a “nonfiction work, the subject to be determined,” that would not come out while he was in office.”

Why the rush to print?

Why is Obama publishing the book now, while STILL in office? I don’t think any president has ever published a book while still in office.

Weird.
