| h/t Jawa Report. this is a little more than creepy. On Amazon (link) there is a little blue book on sale with the following description. Its temporarily out of stock. I'm sorry but no mere human deserves this much adoration. Particulary someone who hasn't done anything. Product Description 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. That last sentence might lead one to believe that the book is some sort of joke. But this _is_ amazon and this was found by going to amazon's site and searching for 'Pocket Obama'. |

| #5 Quite similar to the lava lamp, plates, etc. Entirely disguting, but it's not what's written, said or appears on the telly that bothers me. Of greater concern is what's in the minds of the people who brought him to power. |

| #2 Yes, going through amazon, it seems to be a straight spoof; possibly, the book is on backorder because, well, it's not obvious it's a spoof, and obamauts are buying it to find guidance. Now, THAT would be funny, squared spoof. |

| #1 You didn't read the reviews? Or the comments on the reviews? Or the fun "customer-supplied" images? It's a joke, people. For now. |
