No. However, to a homeschooling nutcase fundamentalist, that would probably make sense. And make sure you remind them that evolution isn't real and the earth is only 2000 years old. That's the right's mantra, isn't it? The rest of us would teach our children to read on their own, comprehend facts, analyze facts, and form their own opinions, by giving them a broad range of reading opportunties. But you aren't going to do that. If you were really interested in the truth, you'd let them read one of the books he actually wrote. That's probably a better insight into the man's mind & personality. But don't apply logic, it might give you a heart attack from the shock.
 
I've read both of these books and neither piece reminds me of Obama in the slightest. If you want you're children to see the eye-opening effects of too much control, much like the control you seem to have on them, and the unfairness of one person or group having too much power, then by all means have them read both. But, to better educate your kids about Obama, let them read his speeches, or articles about him, let them watch him when he makes speeches and other appearances.
 
Either the 64 goals of American Communist, or Hitler's Mein Kampf or the writing of the former Russian leader, Lenin**********************************
 
Have them read an actually good novel.

Both Liberal and Conservative children deserve to enjoy their childhood, not become a political drone who misses out on fun because they are losing sleep over the economy.

I suggest something like "crash". Good book, funny too. Or just give them a Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys book
