On the horizon, at the dawn of a new age, there appeared a man who would be the embodiment of King’s dream — a presidential candidate whose very being was a bridge that joined nations. Quoting: -

Are these books real? I ask because it is so unbelievably wrong for the Obama administration to do this... What American (of any stripe) could possibly think this is "normal"???
When I was in school no one attempted this kind of crap. In fact, politics were largely kept out of school. School was supposed to be for learning, not worshipping. |

heres a funny fact... those books where published before the election.... one of the reviewers on amazon.com writes explaining her puzzlement at the time:
"3.0 out of 5 stars A little much, even for a fervent Obama fan, November 22, 2008
By T. Greer (Santa Rosa, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
I took a look at this book at my local bookstore a few days before November 4, and at that time I giggled at the very bright, technicolor pictures of the book. I also winced a little at the dangerously-close-to-hubris conceit of writing such a book before the election results were known. How could you tell a complete story about a historical figure unless you knew what the ending was? At the time, though, I thought this was a harmless book, and was still giddy (and terrified) at the thought of Election Day coming up.
Now, after the euphoria has subsided a bit, I took a second look at this book.
I didn't laugh at it much this time around. I still winced when I read it, and not in a good way.
Some good things about the book: The final pictures were practically prescient (it almost matched the Obamas' election night picture, with the Obama parents walking out with Sasha and Malia by their sides); it was interesting to see the beginning illustrations and interpretations of Obama's childhood pictures, and the rest of the book telegraphed the giddy hope of Big Expectations that many, many people felt that night.
However, I thought the asides from the mother and her child were a little distracting, a "forced" questioning innocence from the child and an almost condescending tone from the mother. Most distracting, as noted by other reviewers, was the "Lion King/Messiah/Star Wars/Chosen One" kind of vibe given to Obama throughout the narrative. This was the dangerously-close-to-conceit part of the book that made me wince. While it's good to teach children to respect the President of the United States, this book fairly jumps across the line from respect to breathless worship.
President-Elect Barack Obama is an ordinary man. A deeply talented speaker, brilliant thinker and professor (Harvard Law School, people!), and arguably the most disciplined politician I've ever seen--BUT, an ordinary man. A devoted loving husband and father, BUT an ordinary man. He's NOT "The One/Golden Child/Messiah/Moses Of The 21st Century", and it's dangerous to put him on that pedestal.
Having said all that, when I read this book as expressive poetry instead of literal historic narrative, the technicolor visual and literary flourishes were easier to take. (Though I fervently wish they picked a different picture for the front cover!) If you don't mind the hyperbole--or if you're an "Obama Otaku" (Anime fans will know what I mean)--then the in-your-face nature of the narrative in this book won't phase you at all. In fact, reading this book with any less attitude than TOTAL WORSHIP AND EUPHORIA (caps meant) will probably make you nauseous. Otherwise, if you're looking for a more sober historical book for your child, I would steer clear of this one."
they preplanned the whole thing. |

My school's administration announced today that we could choose to show it or not. Thankfully, it is on at noon here and the majority of kids are eating. Really, this just puts us into a situtation as teachers. If we don't show it, we will have parents mad and accusing us of being anti-American. If we do show it, we have to notify parents and allow them to have the option of pulling the kids out of class -- and then we have to find a place to send them. If Obama wants kids to watch him so badly, he should broadcast at 7:00 p.m. when the kids are at home with the family, and they can discuss his politics all they want in the privacy of their own homes. |

How can people not see the parallels between this guy and early 20th century Socialists, Communists, and Marxists. They are even using the same symbolism and styles of artwork for crying out loud. You half expect him to build a statue of himself stoically looking forward into the future with little children holding hammers and sickles all around him.

Exactly. Aside from a link to a far-right website, do we have any independent confirmation of these claims?
Besides, so what if a teacher does assign these books? Reading about the current president's life isn't a bad thing -- and as a kid who devoured presidential biographies in 4th grade, the tone in these children's books are always reverential and certainly not controversial in the least.
Nowhere in the JFK kids' bio does it mention his affairs or even Bay of Pigs. That's quite normal for elementary education. I didn't learn a thing about Real American History until college. |

Obama supporters are right. This too is no big deal. And they'll be just as pleased when books promoting Huckabee and Palin are required reading too.
(I can't stand either of them, but that's not the point.)

This is totally outrageous! How can any sane person support this kind of thing? Someone needs to put the brakes on Obama and his meglomania before this goes any farther. Does he listen to anybody? Probably not because after all it is HE who is the Messiah but somebody needs to take him aside and tell him that just maybe he isn't. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 270054
I think the American people won't stand for this, at least I won't and I will NOT let my grandchild read his propaganda books.
How far will he push the people of the US of A before we ask for his resignation. In all of my sixty-seven years I have never heard of such a thing. I have had enough already!! |

I totally agree. I don't think this propaganda should be brought into the classrooms. Obama is testing the American people to see how much they will undertake from his corrupt goverment. If I were a teacher I wouldn't allow it. |

Why couldn't the kids have watched him one of the 111 times he has been on the tube since election day?
And.....if I still had a kid still in school and he had the opportunity to ask him a question/questions....I would encourage him to ask his highness why his kids didn't go to public school? Why they wouldn't be subjected to the public option and had his kids been given the jab?
