Obama-hating books

There have been no less than 46 “hate Obama” books published so far, and surely there are more to come, says Charles Laurence.

According to a ballooning body of literature, President Obama is a Communist plant in the White House. He is bent on destroying capitalism, freedom and the American Way in favour of both socialism and a worldwide conspiracy of international bankers and oligarchs. All the while he is working tirelessly to undermine America’s military defenses in order to facilitate Islamic conquest.

‘Literature’ might not be quite the right word. But a torrent of words has been released on paper, at book length, in the two years since Obama became America’s 44th President. One or two books have been in favour, or even, like broadcaster Gwen Ifil’s The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama, adulatory.

But there have been no less than 46 “hate Obama” books published so far, according to an exhaustive count by the web magazine The Daily Beast. To put that in perspective, there were just five on George ‘Dubya’ Bush over the same period of his presidency, and eleven on Bill Clinton.

Obama Hating

TRANSLATION: Anyone that disagrees with him about anything, or anyone who shines the spotlight of truth on what he is actually trying to do.

I'm surprised there are only 46 books...

One of these “hate books” refers to Our Leader as a “Manchurian candidate” president.

Hmmm...anyone EVER see him play solitaire?

And the article says there were only 5 hate books against our last president?

Soooo, exactly, where is this 'ballooning body of literature' wrong'?

At least we don't have to worry about Barnes and Noble pulling this stunt again.

Possibly, but I doubt there were so few. At one point I counted about 80 anti-Bush or anti-Republican or anti-Iraq War books on the current events shelf in Barnes & Noble.
