He began by trying to save the world from global financial meltdown, but people accused him of being a communist so he gave that up.Then he tried to give everyone in his country access to health care, but that only upset millions of Americans, who didn't see why other people should lead healthy lives like they did. They started sending him teabags in the post, and he didn't like that.Next, he tried to curb global warming, but the oil billionaires and dirty coal barons started stamping their feet and calling him names. So he gave that up, too.So what to do, with ratings low and a thumping at the midterms, and worrying talk about him turning into Jimmy Carter? Finally, he came up with an idea: now was the time to publish a children's book! Wholesome, fun, fulfilling and handily written before he was inaugurated president.And here it is, Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters, is 40 pages of presidential wisdom that will spread joy to adult and child alike.For if anyone out there had started to fret that America was going to hell in a hand basket, with a president at the helm who is daily losing control to the Tea Parties, then Of Thee I Sing will come as a huge comfort. Barack Obama is back on his game.How could one doubt a leader who can compose such poetry as: "Have I told you that America is made up of people of every kind?"How could one question an executive who continues: "People of all races, religions and beliefs. People from the coastlines and the mountains. People who have made bright lights shine by sharing their unique gifts."How could one not have faith that he will succeed in rekindling the American spirit when in the book he invokes 13 great Americans as a way of inspiring his daughters, Malia and Sasha. Americans such as Albert Einstein, who, he writes, "turned pictures in his mind into giant advances in science, changing the world with energy and light".And Jackie Robinson, the first black major league baseball player, who "gave brave dreams to other dreamers". And Billie Holiday, who "made people feel deeply and add their melodies to the chorus".And Georgia O'Keefe, and Sitting Bull, and Helen Keller and Maya Lin and Martin Luther King and Neil Armstrong and George Washington and César Chávez, the farmworkers' leader who chanted "Yes, you can!" – which rings a bell.And, of course, Abraham Lincoln, who, the president writes, "knew that all of America should work together".When the ranks of angry Republicans now set to dominate Congress come to read that passage, they will surely have a change of heart. They will stop baying for the president's blood and decide to be nice and friendly to him, and with a wave of the president's magic wand all of America will work together.After all, Washington has a lot in common with a children's story. And children's stories always have happy endings.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />Source - Guardian News-----------------------------Will Our President write a Children's Book too ???<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Rolleyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Rolleyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Rolleyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /></blockquote>
