Re: Obama's new Children's Book
Sent a copy to my Grandson for Christmas.
Jane Adams is one of the subjects. She figures large around here in Rockford, IL as the founder of Rockford College.
I wasn't surprised at the other subjects. Obama isn't a WASP, ya'know; he has a wider vision than a lot of folks.

Re: Obama's new Children's Book
If there is a previous post I missed it. An interesting review. The Pres. wrote this for his daughters, Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters.
The book features 13 American “heroes” whose traits the president sees in his daughters. Interesting 13 heros. I'm surprised at a couple.

The New American is a front for the John Birch Society, fwiw.
In addition to political topics, The New American also publishes articles about economics (from a free-enterprise perspective of course!), culture, and history. It is published by American Opinion Publishing, a wholly owned subsidiary of The John Birch Society.Steve MartinsenComment

Re: Obama's new Children's Book
I thought it would fire em up. I know Cuyahoga didn't even look at the review, else he would be the loudest whiner. Oh well, I learned a new word, smarmy. That will have a lot of application down here in the bilge. But anyway my ol English teacher would be proud of this crowd. She always said "consider the source".

Re: Obama's new Children's Book
I'm glad he took the time to write a book. Unlike most who wrote books of any kind they waited until their terms ended.
Yes I applaud his efforts but there is a time and place. And this ain't one of them.Last edited by S.V. Airlie; 12-17-2010, 09:04 PM.Comment

Re: Obama's new Children's Book
In case some did not know, he did the actual writing before his presidency.
Great selection of interesting people - broader than "Profiles in Courage" though both books have people who were not universally admired either in life or after - and written without the assistance of a brilliant writer.Comment

Re: Obama's new Children's Book
How brilliant does a writer of a childrens' book have to be?
OK, Dr Suess, Grimm, and several others excluded. But hey, when I was a kid I never had a book written by a President. My daughter will be pointing out to the grandson, and his infant sister, who the Author is.
