Barack Hussein Obama by Steven Weissman

tymelgren's review against another edition

4.0

Does everyone want to write a book about Obama? I know I do! Mine will be sort of like this, except short paragraphs instead of short comics. It'll be out in about four years. Some people will think my book is stupid, and those people will think this book is even more stupid, but I liked it quite a bit. Obama smokes joints with Biden, is turned into a parakeet, argues with God, is annoyed by his daughters, etc. There are funny parts and scary parts. It's political, if you think that simultaneously humanizing and mythologizing celebrities/political figures and also mocking our impulse to do both of those things is political. I do.
