Obama should read “Atlas Shrugged”. Then he would understand how his socialist policies will destroy our Country.

I’d say on the bulls*** scale of one to seven with seven being the highest degree of bulls*** possible, I would rate this article ‘From Books, New President Found Voice’ as an ‘8.0′

Well, look what it did for me.

Now if any of the rest of us had said that, we’d be an instant clay pigeon. lol.

Maybe we should all chip in and send him a copy of Guilty.
(which I just finished today and is excellent – on a par with Treason)

“One of the better arguments I’ve seen for insisting on the “Great Books” curriculum.”

Well, look what it did for me.

–Wait a minute here … he read books to learn how to “be black?”–

He was born in Hawaii, spent his entire life in private schools, and rode family money into a prestigious college. He knows absolutely nothing about the lives of black people who have to earn a living.

Unfortunately, somebody has yet to clue him in–he also knows absolutely nothing about the lives of white, hispanic, asian, or indian people who have to earn a living. Maybe if they had, his reading list would expand a little.

Our new president would enlighten himself much better if he read such books like the Bible, Sun Tzu-The Art of War, the works of Von Clausewitz, The Wealth of Nations, and it couldn’t hurt to read a little Tom Clancy or my current favorite-Vince Flynn. They say you are what you eat but the same could be said of what you read.

So in other words, he just is not capable of independent thoughts of his own. He always has to copy someone else.

How refreshing.

What I want to know is how does one pick up crap like this and actually get through it. I know there are many learned people that post on S&L and that many of you have read this garbage so that you know your enemy. I salute you!!!! I personally don’t need to pick up a rattle snake to find out that it’s poisonous (no offense to all the snake handlers out there). This guy reads this crap and believes it and shapes his beliefs around it.

What an enlightened colonoscopy.

At least I now know why He’s incomprehensible. Toni Morrison? Puh’leeze.

Notice He didn’t list The Bible which contains His favorite book, Matthews.

Does he read any books that do not increase his loathing of his white half, and of the country?

Wait a minute here … he read books to learn how to “be black?”

Oh boy.

“People had begun to listen to my opinions.”

Anti-apartheid talk had begun long before TCO was in college. So he’s responsible for that too?

Reagan was the Great Communicator. Call TCO the Great Regurgitatator, chock full of none of his own ideas.

Let the kids read superficial, derivative trash and you get, well … an Obama.
