s part of the book deal then-Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., inked in 2004, Random House today announced the publication of a children’s book by the president, “Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters.”

The book will be released on November 16 – roughly two weeks after the midterm elections -- with a 500,000-copy first printing.

“Of Thee I Sing,” which President Obama finished writing in 2008, describes thirteen “groundbreaking Americans and the ideals that have shaped our nation—from the artistry of Georgia O’Keeffe, to the courage of Jackie Robinson, to the patriotism of George Washington,” the publisher said in a statement. It is illustrated by Loren Long.

Proceeds from the sale of the book, Random House announced, will be donated to a scholarship fund for the children of fallen and disabled US troops. The book will be published by Alfred A.

That's Nice.
I think I'll pass on this one though.
I'm waiting for the next one titled.
My Four Years as President and What Went Wrong.

Jon the "Stanford Professor" has already been proven a liar by others but here's another quote from an Obama spokesman - “as the president of the Law Review, Obama didn’t write articles, he edited and reviewed them.”

This Obummer guy is off his rocker! He wants to write a book? How ****in' cute?! How about turning this Country around and doing good for America and it's citizens you dummy!
(Although, he does all he does want to collapse the system, in my opinion.)

I fixed parts of it, someone else can finish it up.

Obama's kids are so off-limits they're on the cover of his new book

But it's been a rule the president has observed at times and ignored at others. Now, it appears, is one of those times he's ignoring it.

   

Once again the comment section is good.

I wonder how long it is going to be before it is on the Dollar Store shelves

I once in a while light up a campfire, and toast weenies. If they're ever giving it out free, I may have to use it to start 'er up.

And thanks, TB.

Comment section now has a whole bunch of "flagged for review" .......whoever is monitoring must be an Obama fan...

Golf, vacations, writing children's books....

I am sure his party and base is resting well knowing his time is being spent on such important matters.

Apparently that's what we are paying him to do.

I want a job like his.

I know, right?!?!
It's a good thing we don't have 2 wars, a slugging economy, a bad jobs picture, a ballooning debt and illegals crossing the borders at will.

This guy treats the whole of his presidency as one big vacation!

O'Bumbler is goin' to go down as the laziest POS to ever hold the office!

[Evil_Conservative]

Wasn't there some rule that President's couldn't write books while in office, even with a contract deal BEFORE being elected?  Can someone help me out here?

“Of Thee I Sing,” which President Obama finished writing in 2008,

There's the cover story, but if that's the truth why wait 2 years to bring it out.  I'd have thought they would bring it out while his popularity was still high.

Good point. 

Maybe the publisher had a time table they were working with?  But still, why would a publisher wait two years? 

I totally missed the 2008 part.

I'm goin' to kick the shit outa my kids if they buy or even hint they want to read this POS!

This is the one plausible part of his whole bullshit story.  Elapsed time from final submission of a manuscript to a publisher to the time the finished book hits the shelves varies by publisher, but averages 9 months to 2 years or so.  If for no other reason than to schedule time on the presses to print a run of the book (publishers try their damnedest to keep those presses running all the time, because if they aren't running, the publisher isn't making money).

So he's donating his "author's proceeds" to scholarships for children of fallen and disabled soldiers?  How Glenn Beck of him
