To the extent the list is accurate, it is extremely heavy on race- and racism-obsessed texts.

The inclusion of “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” is significant because that work is a fraudulent ghost-written work by known plagiarist Alex Haley. The success of that fraud probably served as an inspiration to Obama, whose believed-to-be-ghostwritten fabrications of “composites” also have enjoyed success.

The inclusion of “Invisible Man” is likewise interesting. I have repeatedly urged posters here to read that work, because its latter half details how the unnamed black narrator becomes the willing dupe of a Communist Party-inspired group called “the Brotherhood,” which uses him to raise expectations and then foment a race riot. The similarities between Obama and the narrator are striking, as are the similarities between the “Brotherhood” leader and Obama’s mentor Bill Ayers. Ayers would have read this book, which was popular in the early-middle Sixties when he was in college. Obama is reputed to have toted it around, but there is no indication that he actually read it—if he had, it is unlikely that even he could have missed the parallels.

“Invisible Man” is interesting because the narrator eventually wakes up to what a fraud “the Brotherhood” is, and how he has been used. There is no evidence Obama has ever had a similar awakening. In addition, “Invisible Man” contains a great many references to American culture, most particularly to jazz of the 1930s. Obama, tone-deaf as far as American culture is concerned, almost certainly did not even recognize these references even if he did actually read the book.

“The Law of Nations” by Emer Vattel? He probably only read that one to figure out a way around the natural born citizen requirement, since Vattel was this Swiss 18th century legal scholar (and influence on our fonding fathers)who defined a “natural born citizen” the child of two citizen parents, which Obama obviously is not, unless his real father is Frank Marshall Davis.

I one of his crappy memoirs Obama snarks about locking
himself in his room reading Malcom X, Ellison & Dubois etc.
He felt clever because his “typical white woman” Grandma
thought that he was studying.
By his own admission, he was a stoned, drunk high school
student with bad grades. Yet he pulled an academic scholarship
to Occidental College!
Totally based on merit./

@ MacDuff:

Yeah, at least half the country’s stupid. In a few weeks, we’ll find out if it’s more than half.

Good morning Mac. We have been over 8% unemployment for over 43 months (You know that the number is even greater) The middle Class has lost over $4,000 in income under Obama. Homes are underwater & Obama took on more than 6 Trillion more in debt that our children will have to cover. Seriously, I blame the teachers unions. People are incapable of critical thought.
