by Jim McElhatton, The Washington Times (exerpts):  The US 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.  The US embassy in Egypt for instance, spent $26,636 in August 2009 for copies of Mr. Obama's bestselling 1995 memoir.  Six weeks earlier, the embassy had placed another order with the same book seller, Kalemat Arabia, for more than $9,000 for copies of the same book, federal purchasing records show.  

Commentary:  It looks like President Obama is very concerned about Muslims getting their hands on his book, which has many quotes favoring the cause of Islam.  In his book, "Dreams of My Father," you will find such quotes as: "I ceased to advertise my mother's race (his mother is white) at the age 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites (page 15).  "That hate hadn't gone away," he wrote, "blaming white people - some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives."  "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe.  And white..."  "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."  While in college,' Obama wrote, (he) disapproved of what he called other "half-breeds" who gravitated towards whites instead of blacks."  

All of the above quotes were taken from President Obama's book.  They reek of prejudice against whites.  Maybe he feels he has a right, after all that the blacks have been through.  He should know that blacks participated in slave trading from Africa, as well as whites.  There were also far more white people who hated slavery and wanted to abolish it than there were those who approved of and promoted it; that's why slavery was abolished in the end.  His Muslim ties are deep and he is wreaking havoc in this nation with his sympathy for Muslim terrorists.  The $70,000 he will receive from the sale of his books to the US embassy in Egypt (with our tax dollars) will help him with his campaign.   It's a shame that the money couldn't have been used to feed starving children, who are literally dropping dead from hunger in Africa by the hundreds of thousands right now.  "There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceeds from the ruler" Ecclesiastes 10:5.  "Better is a little (money) with righteousness than great revenues (wealth) without right" Proverbs 16:8.  

In his other book, "The Audacity of Hope," President Obama wrote, "I will stand with them [Muslims and Arab immigrants in the USA] should the political winds shift in an ugly direction (pg 261)."  Yes, the chopping off of heads and hands and the genital mutilation of women is very ugly, but this statement appears to mean he will stand with the Muslims anyway.
