Haven't read it, don't want to read it, and I think that some of the people who are anti Obama are racist because the only argument they ever have is that he is Black/Muslim and therefore bad.

But this is not about Obama, it is about a book with a controversial theme which just happens to be published in an election year which will undoubtedly have racial overtones whether we like it or agree with it or not. Just sayin' this author has interesting timing. I hope I'm wrong though.

Touche. It could be just a coincidence but then again who can say what is in another persons mind at any point? Anyway the book will succeed or die based on its readership I imagine.
