   Question:

   Will Obama’s book beat Pelosi’s?

   Perhaps.

   But will it beat Tori Spelling’s?

   Who knows.

   Obama is continuously weakening his only selling point. He can win as a mystery candidate, but now he’s overexposing himself.

   Too much of a bad thing makes America sick.

   Normally I think of using paper as employing lumberjacks. With these political books, especially a book of re-cycled speeches in the middle of a campaign, I’m on the side of the trees instead.

   Since he hangs with other domestic terrorists, I wonder if BHO received a “get out jail free” card from ELF (earth liberation front)?

    This doesn’t surprise me. The only way he can “speak” is with teleprompters and in books. Spontaneous speeches usually end up as disasters. At least, in a book, he can have his 300 advisors go over each word, before it is sent to a publisher. His possible “future bosses”, Pelosi, Reid and Kennedy, get a look too, before it’s approved for release.

    I wonder which version of his July 2, 2008 speech he will use, the one with or without his idea of a “civilian national security force” that’s every bit as capable, well-equipped, and well-funded as our military.

    I forgot to mention that Jerome Corsi will just have to write another book to debunk this one, his current book Obama Nation is #10 on Amazon, and is a must read. It does a great job of debunking what Obama put in his first two books, and bringing to print what Obama left out entirely.

    Of course, my local Borders has a section up at the front “Read this before you Vote” - every anti-Bush book ever written is there, but none of McCain’s books nor this book - Obama Nation- is there. So, occasionally I help them out, and in my browsing I bring a book like this from the bottom shelf of the “politics & government” section up to the front and it finds its way to the “read this before you vote” section.

    So many of the folks featured in Obama’s last audacious book have gone under the bus, and so many of the stands Obama took therein have been flipped-flopped and discredited, that a new book is necessary. Please throw out the old book; it is no longer operative.

    Perhaps Obama should consider publishing his newest ideas in a weekly magazine or daily tabloid format. These latter seem better suited to the change du jour that is Barack’s position on everything.

    As he’s nothing beyond a cult of personality I can’t even consider voting for him. OK, maybe he has a left-wing agenda, if so he’s largely hiding it for now. Instead, it’s all about him. To use a popular marketing slogan, “it’s all about the O”. People mindlessly gathering around a charismatic leader, that’s third world stuff. Obama is our Castro. Let’s not allow him to take control of the reins of power.

    It is one of the worst-written books I have ever read.

    Not only does he not write with any emotion or personality whatsoever, he’s entirely uncreative: it’s just a loosely-collected jumble of all the worst of the Democrats’ talking points from over the last seven or eight years. There are a few parts that make a bit of sense, but a broken clock is, after all, right twice a day…
