They gave a copy to Dubya and he said COOL and asked Laura to get him his favorite crayons.

How rude. We all know that Obama is a whiz in economics. His recently released college transcripts showed he aced it. That and Marxist Socialist studies.

That's farking brilliant. I wish I'd thought of it. I'd be charging more than ten bucks.

Now, hang on. Don't make excuses for him, and DON'T lie on his behalf. Obama is in violation of the constitution on this point. Article 51, section 6 clearly states, "The President must release all records and transcripts from higher education upon his inauguration. If he refuses, the running mate of their original opposition becomes President."

Studies have shown that idiots will buy anything in book form.

I can teach you how to take advantage of that if you buy my book "Taking Advantage of Stupid People with Books" for only 3 easy payments of $19.99

Moncrief said the book was inspired by a similar gag book from Sheridan Simove, who wrote a 200-page bestselling collection of blank pages called: "What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex."

Inspired? That's practically word for word plagiarism. I hope he's sued.

I don't fault the guy for selling it. I would question the judgment of anyone purchasing it, but for coming up with it and trying to make a buck? No.

So?! I've seen books like this for years. An aunt gave me a book that had a picture of Bob Dole on it and it was titled "Warm and Caring Thoughts from a Sensitive Politician" and was completely empty inside. Easy way to make money. Didn't Stephanie Meyer earn her money this way?

I'm still trying to figure out how they make money selling Obama Russian nesting dolls.

She couldn't commit and ruined it by putting text around parts of the empty space.

Meh, I'll wait for the movie.

This would be a great idea if you wanted to launder PAC money.

You could do the exact same thing and just change the title. There could be a whole series of them. "Things I like about Obama," "Things Obama can say without a teleprompter," "Everything Obama eats besides fancy mustard and arugula," etc. I imagine they would sell quite well.

I bet you could charge 20 bucks a book and have people buy the entire series and show them off to their friends. "I done spent $400 on all them there blank books cause idn't 0bama stupid?".

Good. I always wanted extra-special toilet paper...
 
2011-12-20 11:03:43 AM
And the last page is a picture of a skunk eating a watermelon. It's satire, you wouldn't understand.

"Where I live, there's just so much hatred for Obama," said Moncrief, an independent voter who says he doesn't support any GOP candidate this cycle.

Wow, that's a pretty serious fail.

Northern Paper Co would be sued into bankruptcy for copyright infringement, at least. We got REAMS of that book sitting out next to the copying machine!

The guy's statement, or our cavalcade of GOP candidates?

/or both?
 
2011-12-20 11:13:49 AM
Whoa, it has the same plot as "The Success of James Buchanan", and I'm pretty sure that was a New York Times bestseller. Definitely will look for this one to be great.
 
2011-12-20 11:16:46 AM
Yeah, the blank page book has been done already. and a million times before.

I guess Obama haters aint too fond on book read'n an such.

I'd say that he expects anyone to buy the 'Independent' BS.
 
2011-12-20 11:19:43 AM
Unfortunately, the book is riddled with typos. There was one place where it said " " where it should have said " ".

And "This page left intentionally not blank" at the end was a waste of paper.
 
2011-12-20 11:20:24 AM
And he's a fark independent. brilliant.

Ideally, you'd donate some of the profits to Obama's reelection campaign, too... That would be the secret little, "Fark you, dumbass".

Still a better read than WND's "The Secrets to Attracting Women the LIBERALS Don't Want You to Know!"

Subby sounds whiny...like me when I regret not coming up with bottled tap water for $1.50 a bottle.

I hear Rick Perry bought a copy to prepare for the presidential debates.
 
2011-12-20 12:20:07 PM
It's written to perfectly correspond with the reading level of most people who don't like Obama. Gotta give the guy credit for knowing his target audience.

White southeners hating on uppity negroes? Who'd have thunk it?

Alternate title: Chicken Soup for the Retarded Soul.

Waste of paper, useless spending by Conservatives. Typical.

Yes. Earning Magna Cum Laude is meaningless.

It's more than 3 pages. He didn't read it.

And of course, the commenters on TFA have to bring up the teleprompter.

Christ, that talking point never gets old.

What a totally egotistical waste of money.

200-page book of nothing but blank pages

Sounds like he plagiarized the GOP's jobs plan.
 
2011-12-20 01:00:31 PM
People like this guy will be performing 4'33" when Obama wins.

"Where I live, there's just so much hatred for Obama," said Moncrief...

Hmm, and where would that be?

The 30-year-old banker from Chattanooga, Tenn...

Ah. That explains it.

You know, as a gag gift, this has potential. It sounds like something my father would buy for me for Christmas.
 
2011-12-20 01:02:16 PM
The "blank book" concept is pretty old and busted. Pohl did it in Gateway, and that novel has been around for close to forty years now.

sprawl15: Alternate title: Chicken Soup for the Retarded Soul.

Nicely done.
 
2011-12-20 01:02:53 PM
Obama should fill one in and send it back to the guy.
 
2011-12-20 01:03:08 PM
I liked it better when it was All the Significant Advances in Artificial Intelligence, and had about two hundred authors
 
2011-12-20 01:03:16 PM
I believe I have somewhere a book with identical contents entitled "The Wit and Wisdom of George Bush," published approx 20 years ago.
