I am guessing both books left out the part where they become corporate sellouts.

FTA: The Obama book takes the form of a mother telling her son about this wondrous man, Barry, who journeys to exotic lands, conducting an ongoing dialogue with Hope.

I thought I'd go ahead and put this little nugget in here, so I can go read other threads in peace.

Yep. These aren't quite as creepy as "Why Mommy is a Democrat," but children's book propaganda gives me the heebie-jeebies.

So when did Hillary start reading "My Pet Goat?"

A good children's story would be about two towers called Hillary and Obama. Airplanes crash into them causing the towers to collapse. Then a new tower is built that's named John McCain.

Children's books need to teach kids about good values instead of getting them to be prepped for becoming liberal or conservative minions.

Where were you
When they built the tower named John McCain?
Did it make you feel like pancakes
Or did it make you believe in change?

First of all, you're a moron.

Secondly, on a purely aesthetic level, I happen to like that "feel" in Obama's promotional material. I just find it attractive in an odd way, which, I acknowledge, is probably why it's been used in so much fascist and communist propaganda. But, compared to the right-wing propaganda we've been subjected to the past eight years, this little aesthetic adaptation is nothing.

And why do you think the Obama zombies are using it? Gotta make sure the sheep know what to think.
