PRESIDENT Barack Obama may have had a tough time picking his summer reading to take on holiday to Martha’s Vineyard this weekend. Three of the top five titles on the New York Times nonfiction hard-back bestseller list are currently anti-Obama screeds.
Obama was expected to arrive today at a rented estate on the popular island resort off the coast of Massachusetts after spending the earlier part of the weekend at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.
Earlier this month, he took his wife and children to Yellow-stone national park and the Grand Canyon.

Judging by the inanities and errors that pour out of his mouth, I don’t think he spends a lot of time on prep!
But maybe Ramadan on the Vineyard will be just the thing for him.
“WORKING”????
LOL I hear he sometimes is PRESENT so that he can be closer to the golf course.
hahaha! :)
Yet, The New York Times Book Review has reviewed none of them.
From Stalin-apologist Walter Duranty to the intelligence-leaking shrieking fairies of today, treason doth prosper at the New York Times.
But, then, these are non-fiction. The New York Times always has had a difficult time with facts.
