Books Obama to Publish Children's Book, Republicans to Vote "No" On It

Posted by Jonny Diamond on Tue, Sep 14, 2010 at 10:16 AM

Well, look who has the time to get a children's book published (by Knopf, no less)... Our dear President has written a book called Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters about a bunch of superfamous historical American figures of note, like Eugene Debs, Sacco and Vanzetti, Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers, O.J. Simpson and the Prophet Muhammad. The book is to be illustrated by Tom Tomorrow, with a dedication by the reanimated corpse of Alger Hiss. (You know, that could all be true, and it wouldn't change the reaction of the Right.)

Big ups to the Preznit for getting the First Dog on the cover. Woot. And woof.
