State Department buys $70,000 worth of Obama books

State Department buys $70,000 worth of Obama books. “The U.S. Department of State has bought more than $70,000 worth of books authored by President Obama, sending out copies as Christmas gratuities and stocking “key libraries” around the world with “Dreams from My Father” more than a decade after its release.” Finally! Something worse than getting a lump of coal in your Christmas stocking.

  • Considering the endless list of other completely useless items that the tyrant wastes our money on, this is fairly insignificant.

    • True, but they all add up to a great deal in the long run. That's why we are a gazillion dollars in debt with no relief n sight!

      • gazillion? it went up again? :) Seriously San Antonio rose, i haven't heard that expression in a long time! 'minds me of home. thanks!

        Magilla that's a cool av! :D

          • 1. TAX CUTS TO HELP AMERICA’S SMALL BUSINESSES HIRE AND GROW
            • Cutting the payroll tax cut in half for 98 percent of businesses: The President’s plan will cut in half
            the taxes paid by businesses on their first $5 million in payroll, targeting the benefit to the 98
            percent of firms that have payroll below this threshold.

            Is it me or is the bullet point misleading?
            it seems to me it's saying the current payroll tax-cut will be cut in half. but that's not what the definition states. am i right, or wrong?

  • As a taxpayer, I Iresent the State department using MY tax money to further line the pockets of Obamarama. And if I were a state department employee, I would rather have a membership in the Jelly of the month club. Maybe they are trying to push it back up in the ratings for the campaign!

    • "Maybe they are trying to push it back up in the ratings for the campaign."

      I'd say that's a valid assumption.

  • So if I had somehow came across a copy of this authorized copy of Leo Trotsky's Manifesto, and happened to accidentally ignite it, would it be considered a hate crime? Or just a expression of good taste?

  • Gee no conflict of interest there, huh? Jeebus Effin Xmas, this place is getting more like the who-know-who s every day. What's his next best seller gonna be titled, "My Struggle"?

  • I don't know one person who has any reason to buy ANYTHING that socialist has on the market. They only have socialist propaganda and lies in them so kids don't need any more indoctrination that is already pounded into their young minds already. If I got a free one, it would be ashes in a matter in minutes except for the page of POTUS face and it would be used for buttwipe. My kid would never get view it. It's got to be expensive with a telepromptor in it.

  • I wont have to worry about getting one for a gift as I'm sure I am not on the state departments gift list. As a result I won't have to bother with throwing it in the sh!tcan like I am sure most of the recipients will.

  • supposedly Obama's books were NYT best sellers yet I dont know anyone who ever read one nor do I recall seeing them in any of the several book stores I frequent. (Not that I would doubt the NYT, yeah right.) Also, these books are supposed to be how Obama got his millions of dollars of net worth, not political kickbacks. If two books, "best sellers" or not, can garner millions of dollars of profits, much of which I believe would have to be shared with the author, I have to believe that Vince Flynn, who really has sold an unbelievable amount of books, should be able to buy China.
