I arrived in Washington DC today to cover CPAC and since I was in town, and since CPAC doesn’t really get rolling until tomorrow, I tagged along with some Scott Hennen Show listeners on an extensive tour of the White House as part of the Common Sense Travel Club. One of the stops on the tour (which was wonderful by the way) was the White House library.

Now, according out the person who guided our tour, the library is stock with books picked out by the First Lady, Michelle Obama. Being a bit of a bibliophile, I started to peruse some of the books on the shelves…and lookie, lookie what I found :

By itself, this wouldn’t be that big of a deal. But in the context of Anita Dunn saying Chairman Mao is her favorite political philosopher? In the context of the Mao ornament on the White House Christmas tree?

In the context of Obama’s economic policies?

Well, I’ll let you make your own call.

[Mengerian]

She’s a “Fellow Traveler” for certain.

[Genoa]

I wouldn’t want to be identified with every book I have in my library.

[o2bfree]

Just tried posting the image... guess you have to go to the link to see it.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Right. I tried posting it too, but I just get the red x — that dreaded red x.

[parsifal]

Fahrenheit 451.

[Sherman Logan]

I’ve got the Book of Mormon, the Koran, Mein Kamp and Das Kapital.

Yet I’m not LDS, Muslim, Nazi or commie.

How is this possible?

[Cicero]

It won’t let me see the enlarged view. I do make out several socialist books there.

[massgopguy]

Who put those books in your library?

[Vigilanteman]

[andy58-in-nh]

[parsifal]

I know how you feel.

parsy, who is hiding Venus in Furs now.

Destroying America For Dummies

[Seruzawa]

I have Mein Kampf and Das Kapital. Does that make me a communist?

[Servant of the Cross]

With this poseur, satire is always truer than 'perceived' reality.

[stuartcr]

OMG!!!

[andy58-in-nh]

Original image was removed/protected. I snagged a copy and put it here:

[afraidfortherepublic]

The American Socialist Movement
The Populist Revolt
US Senators and Their World
The Populist Movement
Democracy and the _________ of Political Parties (2 vol.)

[Matchett-PI]

[Genoa]

Cheese, parsy, are we agreeing about something?

genoa, who is getting nervous

[afraidfortherepublic]

Thank you. My eyes were falling out of my head trying to read those titles.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Mickey Mao’s club, Mickey Mao’s club...

[Between the Lines]

Rush Limbaugh was reading from Mein Kampf on the air yesterday.

[ReneeLynn]

If you put them in the White House library, I’d say ‘yes’. Get that trash outta there!

[Para-Ord.45]

’ The Social Basis of American Communism ‘

Nathan Glazer

[HiTech RedNeck]

There’s a difference between know your enemy and study your friends.

[Genoa]

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Ronald Reagan had them put there.

[Rennes Templar]

The Koran, Mein Kamp and Das Kapital I could understnad, but not the Mormons!

[Sunshine Sister]

Well imagine that!

[goodnesswins]

Hmmmm....one of those titles says...”The Social Basis of American Communism!”

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well, it is incumbent upon us to make her travel back out of the White House as expeditious as possible.

[HiTech RedNeck]

It might as well be “The Communist Basis of American Socialism.” Same filth, mixed around a little differently.

[ReneeLynn]

According to post that’s not what the guide said. Those are Mo’s.

[FreeStateYank]

Guess you’re just one of those self-edukatin’ types, lol.

[newbie 10-21-00]

Get it right, it’s NOT THE IRISH!!

[Genoa]

Hard to believe that the White House library is gutted and restocked every time there’s a change in administration. Those books aren’t new.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Comparative philosophies, comparative religions. This isn’t like “a storehouse of the treasures of every wacky thing to walk the planet.”

[dangus]

Or he’s voted out of office, and a 65 senator-strong Republican caucus, led by President Palin, makes Reagan look like Tucker Carlson.

[JimVT]

No but you’re not the FLOTUS!

[Mengerian]

(Complete with her $#!++y books, or “tomes of treason.”)

[parsifal]

I think so. Everytime someone sees Male Fantasies I and II by Theleweit on my shelf, I get that “look.” I stopped trying to explain.

parsy, who wants Jung’s Red Book

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well, a typical president probably doesn’t want tattered paperbacks on the white house library shelf. (Though I could see Sarah Palin doing that. She’s not stuffy.)

[drpix]

The book to the right of the 1st on your list:

The Social Basis of American Communism

[parsifal]

FLOTUS??? Flaming Liberal of the United States???

[Poe White Trash]

Yawn. I wonder if they've ever been read. Especially the book on US Senators.

I've got Pius II's autobiography (_Commentaries_) and a collection of Innocent III's letters (called registers) on my bookshelf. That doesn't make me a RC.
