39. Truly, that book is a joke.....
Edited on Tue Sep-22-09 08:38 PM by Jackeens
I read extracts from it on the publisher's website tonight and almost all of it is stuff lifted from other books - including the President's two books - and twisted in to something.... :boring: ....juicy.

My favourite bit was when he quoted - literally - a conversation between the Obamas when Sasha woke crying one night, one that showed the President to be snappy and mean. Hey, he might well be that.....but unless Barack, Michelle or Sasha (um, a few months old at the time) told him, word for word, what was said, I'm struggling to work out how he could quote the conversation.

:eyes:

PS The **sensational** part of the book was lifted from right-wing hate sites - I'm not kidding. I read all that stuff at the time, FR nearly wet their pants in glee. In fact, FR was probably the author's source.
