A friend sent me this, and I didn’t believe it at first.

But it is true.  Amazon has for sale a book called the “Pocket Obama.” It is a small blue book, packed with his most inspiring quotes.  Here is Amazon’s official description (emphasis mine).

Printed in a size that easily fits into pocket or purse, this book is an anthology of quotations borrowed from Barack Obama’s speeches and writings. POCKET OBAMA serves as a reminder of the amazing power of oratory and the remarkable ability of this man to move people with his words. His superb and captivating oratory style has earned comparisons to John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, and this collection presents words that catapulted his remarkable rise to the American Presidency. Includes themes of democracy, politics, war, terrorism, race, community, jurisprudence, faith, personal responsibility, national identity, and above all, his hoped-for vision of a new America. This book is truly a primer for readers who want to examine the substance of his thought and reflect on the next great chapter in the American story. It is an unofficial requirement for every citizen to own, to read, and to carry this book at all times.

This is either the creepiest attempt to cash in on the cult of Obama, or this is a brilliant gag, a play on the little red book of Chairman Mau.

The sad part either way:  it is sold out.  I weep for our generation…

Exit question:   How long till this *is* a requirement?

Hmmm….
