Obama's Children's Book Invites Controversy....
Looks like Fox News is on him again. This time for his reference to Sitting Bull in his new children's book.

Here's the link:

1. Great...Obama gets criticism for writing a children's book - Bush
gets 8 years of the Faux pedestal and he can't even read a children's book....what a country.

:banghead:

3. So, he should have praised Confederates who killed U.S. Soldiers
in the defense of slavery. I'm sure this wing-nut would have no problem with praise for General Forest. But defend your land against genocidal maniacs - ooooh controversy.

5. "Obama's newest anti-American crime."
Edited on Wed Nov-17-10 11:10 AM by emulatorloo
Fox manufactures "Controvery" about anything Obama does.

16. 25% of the words in that phrase are accurate.
It's not anti-american or a crime. My understanding is that it isn't really new either as it had been written earlier. It is from Obama, so that is accurate.

7. Read this, heed this, and learn it deep into your bones
It doesn't matter what Democrats do, the Nitwit Brigade will manufacture something to criticize Democrats. Obama got shit for ordering orange juice with his breakfast instead of coffee, fer crissakes.

For those of us not in the biz, it's good to keep track of this nonsense, and not be afraid to bring it up later. For folks in the political arena, face it: Fox News and their minions are going to be on you like white on rice, regardless of what you do. You might as well govern like Democrats and look to achieve the best results for the greatest number. Give these fuckers something real to complain about, and do a little good governance while you're at it, hmmmm?
