Let's hope his Kindle doesn't break..... Amazon may end up being part of the "Axis of Evil"

Well Obama has a teleprompter.

Hell, we already KNOW that they are at the head of that table...Apple now sits to their left, until Jobs has fully re-grown his horns that is...

Yeah, but he apparently sees the content on it differently than the last guy...I offer the "Strat-tee-geer-ree" incident, gawds I hope that was a typo!! hehehehe...among others. That past guy ranks right there with Pierce and Harding on the all time scale...went from bankrupting an oil company to a country in no time at all, then again in life consistency is important...I suspect over time that will earn him the "top ranking" there.

Seriously I am being light hearted here...it's done, it's past, time to move on and accept the past as past. Learn from it and then go from there...let the guy live the rest of his years in peace and ponder what he did well as not so well.

This seems relevant. According the Dick Cheney, Bush read 95 books in 2006, 51 books in 2007, and 40 books in 2008. Primarily history and biography:

Yeah, but is "Curious George Visits The Alamo" actually considered historical?

Kinda scary that Cheny was counting...I guess it's is always a good idea to keep tabs on your administrative assistant, huh?

Even I, a part-time defender of Bush, have to question the numbers. On the one hand, you're like, "He read that many books? Really? Cover to cover?" But on the other hand, you're like, "Well, maybe that explains why he didn't really seem to be actually doing anything most of the time."

brecklundin · 06-13-2009, 09:04 PM

hehehe...I too am on the fence with the poor SOB. Perhaps even if he was not really reading it was a stress management thing for him. You know a way to disconnect for a period. Under the world & domestic conditions during his terms, it had to be just rough, like him or not...I know even under the BEST of times I do not see how these presidents make it through one term, let alone two.

Heck, even his dad looked completely done after one term...seriously to me an my buds he looked worn to a nub after his four years and none of really felt he wanted a 2nd term.

So, if reading is a way for him to cope, there are far worse things he could have done...of course he had been down some of those roads before so nice if he found a better outlet.

SOB? Maybe he is just a fast reader. You will notice Obama is already starting to get gray hair. I see a Sony 700 in his future.
