In August 2009 a nutrition-advocacy group put up posters in Washington DC featuring a photo of a young girl with the caption, “President Obama’s daughters get healthy school lunches. Why don’t I?”
The group, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, soon got a call from the White House with the word: the posters must go. “They called and said, ‘Please take those down, you can’t mention the kids’ and so forth,” the group’s president told the Washington Post. “They felt that mentioning the president’s children was off-limits. They said [they're] not going to allow the use of their daughters as leverage.”
A year earlier, in July 2008, candidate Obama allowed his two daughters, Sasha and Malia, to appear on a segment of “Access Hollywood,” but soon came to regret his decision. ”I don’t think it’s healthy,” he told ABC, ”and it’s something that we’ll be avoiding in the future.” Since that time, there has been a general rule that Obama’s children are off-limits for most public discussion. But it’s been a rule the president has observed at times and ignored at others. Now, it appears, is one of those times he’s ignoring it.
Today Alfred A. Knopf for Young Readers is announcing the publication of a new book, Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters, by Barack Obama. The cover will be a painting depicting the two young girls, along with First Dog Bo.

This jackass has time to write books telling how great his kids are and a dog named after him: BO.
Someone tell him we are at war and his economy STINKS !!
Wonder how many idiots buy his retarded book? Probably the same number of idiots that voted for him.
How does he have time to write a book? He is on TV everyday just talking about how he is screwing up our economy, health care, cap and tax and employment. We have two wars going on, which may or may not get much of his attention. I will be glad when 2012 gets here and he can go back to being a community organizer and write all the books he wants.
Yeah, think I'll write a children's book….fully illustrated in living color
Let's see..what about the :
Big Daddy Camel plus 3 and a bow wow
The Bow Wow Leaves the Big House
The Camel who gave away the Country
Oh don't worry the Mashell and Barry comedy hour will allow them to use anyone's kid except their own to demonstrate to all America just how fair, forthright, transparent they as the best of parents can be when it comes to propagandizing their agenda…….
What book is that?
The Obama Family Tree Of Ancestors?
Who just kind of hang around & swing some times?
HAHAHAHAHAHA….TOO FUNNY.
Two words…GHOST WRITER!
The "president" has time to write books? He has time for SIX vacations this year alone! He has time to fly all over the country campaigning (because that's ALL he knows!) But he does not have time – NOR WILL to PRESIDE, as a president should…..he is leaving that to his czars and all those wonderful leftist "leaders" like Cass Sunstein who is regulating the U.S. out of existence.
Cloward-Piven…if you don't know what that is, you'd better learn – and fast! they've been working on that for a long, long time – since the Dems took control of Congress….CRA and Fannie and Freddie manipulated the real estate market to FAIL…and that made pretty much the whole world economy drop out…
DEMAND removal from office for ALL who refuse to follow the Constitution! they have all taken a Solemn Oath to uphold that and those who have not should be prosecuted – Frank, Dodd – the whole bunch of them. And those "czars" and others who are in the "administration" (Regime is more like it!) should be prosecuted for "high crimes and misdemeanors" for their crimes against the Constitution! But those in Congress who CAN start actions against them apparently have no COURAGE to do what needs to be done.
