About this ebook

The Diary of President Barack Obama

The White House

May 19, 2010

I was going to write about tonight’s state dinner for Mexico and the amnesty plan, but we’ve got a national crisis here! I think somebody’s been snooping in this diary! The pages are all wrinkled! And the most personal entries are dog-eared! WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON HERE?

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) On May 20, 2010, Laura Ingraham received a package from an anonymous source that will change the history of the United States and the legacy of President Barack Obama. While retrieving her automobile from the underground garage at the Watergate complex (where she had just enjoyed her weekly pedicure), Ingraham discovered a manila envelope on the hood of her car. When she picked it up, a deep baritone voice called out from a nearby stairwell: "Just read it. You’ll know what to do." The shadowy figure then disappeared into the darkness without another word.

The envelope contained copies of what appeared to be diary entries written by President Barack Obama, his family, and high-ranking administration officials. Because the "diaries" are so revealing, Ingraham felt compelled to release them to the American public and the citizens of the world.

Major media outlets love to describe the president as "no drama Obama," but The Obama Diaries tells a different tale. Through these "diary entries," readers will see past the carefully constructed Obama façade to the administration’s true plans to "remake America."

In The Obama Diaries, Ingraham hilariously skewers the president and his minions. She takes aim at:

•the cynical "razzle-dazzle" marketing of Obama’s radical agenda

•the use of the Obama "brand" and family to obscure Obama’s true aims

•Michelle Obama’s gardening and anti-obesity initiative; and much more.

Informative and hugely entertaining, The Obama Diaries will inspire both laughter and critical thinking about the future of the nation and the man currently at the helm.

Excerpts from Laura Ingraham’s The Obama Diaries

Obama on Sarah Palin:
"Hell, doesn’t Palin have anything better to do than criticize me? Shouldn’t she be back home shooting some endangered wolf species from a helicopter?" (April 9, 2010)

Michelle on being First Lady:
"I’ll be damned if all this fabulosity is going to go to waste reading Dr. Seuss to snot-nosed kids all day." (January 23, 2009)

Vice President Joe Biden on Michelle Obama:
"She’s kind of like a black Hillary Clinton. I mean that in a good way." (May 5, 2009)

Obama on his visit to the Vatican:
"If I can ingratiate myself with a few more of these red-hats, the pope thing might not be a bad follow-up to the presidency." (July 10, 2009)

Ratings and reviews

Material like this is the type of information that is groundbreaking, tremendously important, and must-know knowledge that exposes Barack Obama for the petty, scheming little man he is. Or at least, it would be if (1) Laura Ingraham had based this book on even the slightest shred of real information or at least (2) she produced fake entries that were plausible to anyone with more than a pre-school education, and (3) Obama was half of the monster that people seem to think he is. I mean, really? We are supposed to believe that the man who, apparently, had the manipulative abilities to win a presidential election, despite the claims that he is a communist, a terrorist, and a self-proclaimed Messiah, actually put into writing that he cannot believe that he tricked us all? Or that he spouts blatantly sterotypical African-American colloquialisms that would have the FCC in fits? This is just another example of Republican desparation, which has stemmed from a blind desire to win, regardless of what is best for the country. I consider myself a fairly right-wing individual on most issues, but this is without question one of the most pathetic mudslinging attempts I have ever seen. Find a way to read this book without buying it. It is certainly worth a laugh; not at Obama's expense, but at Ingraham's. Do not give her a cent though.

GREAT BOOK!! I was reading about 4 books when this came out and did not want to wait. I purchased the book on CD and found my drives to be more fun. The book is read by Laura which is a bonus. The book is good and Laura's insight into Obama and his staff is great. The satire is the best I have heard for some time.

Poorly written boring rehash of her silly attempts to turn simple things into major gossip.Real trash.I had hoped to get a serious explanation of her views with actual facts.
