Obama Fever
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama
Everyone has Barack Obama fever these days!
Turns out Obama is the hottest name in the publishing world right now.
Just a weekend after winning the election, two books written by Obama have already sold millions and made it to the top of the lists.
Barack's The Audacity of Hope and Dreams from My Father have jumped to the number one and two spots respectively on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com.
And, just yesterday, The Audacity of Hope went out of stock on Amazon. Both the hardcover and paperback editions.
Even Sen. John McCain's home state of Arizona is seeing a rise in the number of Barack's book sales.
Demand has also risen for Change We Can Believe In, which is a collection of Obama's speeches and policy proposals.
And several books on Barack and his life are also selling well.
Seems people are interested in learning more about the soon to be President! Really really interested.

My president is black…wait I mean half black..wait I mean muslim..yea muslim
His wife looks like an alien and scares the shit out of me..nuff said
Re: devil_dawg_wife – This chick is nuts and not at all what Jackie O would have in her circle of fiends. Congrats to you and your Hubby on his service
And, forgive the ignorant for they are in need of knowledge and have been deprived. Best to you and your family 
get autographed copies if you can, they'll be worth a lot if he's assassinated!
Re: Lick_my_Icing – That's right. BM is my buddy. I doubt he'll mind me using his line
Besides, to some posters, what else can you say?
i HEART obama!
Re: Plumeriagirl –
You liberals HATE too much. That's why you are leery of guns.
-
I don't take autobiographies to be reference material so I wouldn't quote from it or use it for research.
Re: PunkyBrewstein – What do you mean, "if"? Ooops, did I just say that outloud?????
Re: Sassy Girl – "'If"…lol wicked! Have a Great Night!
Re: PunkyBrewstein – You're such a lovable Bitch
Scary, but I get your irony
Re: Lick_my_Icing – I know. Probably not very nice, but fits in nicely when comedic relief is needed. I really don't wish that on the guy, at all. BUT, if I were one of his "fans", I would be worried as hell probably…..NIGHT ALL!!
Re: M3chick – 7 After witnessing the Harriet Myer and Sarah Palin selections you might be on to something. The Republicans always seem to be on the lookout for new talent. Coming with a recommendation from you I'm sure she'll be in the running before you have time to find a new cleaning woman/ future Republican party leader!
Really people,
there is NOTHING you can do now. You better just accept that he is the new President of the United States. And most of you can't say your not racist,
you know you are.
Re: I'm Chris Hansen from MSNBC – 35 Please don't reproduce. That you would advocate picking a candidate solely to label another as a racist is as equally moronic as the person that labels anti-Obama views, absent any racist rhetoric, as racist.
Re: PunkyBrewstein – 103 What a revolting, filthy, beast you are. I pray your inhumanity is rewarded in kind.
Biggest name, haha. *YAWN*
Re: gemma0505 – Haha! I love you!
The "fever" will break. Barry created an phony image of himself in all those books and speeches. Boy, will you be surprised when you find out who he really is! He's already backpedalling on the "change" he promised. Your life won't be better, and I expect all you O-Heads to admit it when it happens.
Re: Sassy Girl – Re: Sassy Girl –
Oh, and you did your research by watching fox news and believing random Rebublican internet lies bullshiz, I presume…you couldn't be bothered to actually pick up and read Barack's books, because you, let me guess, don't have the time - you'd rather believe that he's a Muslim, eh? My husband went to school with Barack, case closed~ STOP THE LIES NOW!!
Re: Geminijeff –
NICE, he's not even in office ONE DAY and you rip him to shreds,,,where were you 2 months beore Bush took office? let's face it, anyone could do better than Bush - you be GLAD he's in and get over your sore-loser self, Honey!!
Re: Lick_my_Icing – I understand that some idiots need everything explained to them in great detail, shoulda known you were one of them….Ok…pay attention…ok? You posted "Flip the script on McCain…what if his Dad had 3 wives and his Mom dumped him off with his Grandma while she took off to be a permanent Graduate student in Indonesia. Or, what if McCain had attended a Muslim school in Indonesia? Or, what if McCain had most of public records sealed" so I was asking the same question I am sure many poster's were wondering….What is Lick was never born…there would for sure be less ignorant posts on Perez tonight that's for sure…you are an ignorant skank and that is not "dramatic" it's called "the truth" WEIRDO!
Re: Geminijeff –
Yeah, it couldn't have been worse under Bush, THAT"S for sure!
[re=3088439]Re: Andrew
Re: Plumeriagirl – We'll see how much better than Bush he is. Don't get your hopes up. Wait…that's all you have. Trust me, my life won't be better with Barry sticking his hands in my pockets and giving my cash to people like you!
THANK GOD!!!!!! I thought it was the only one in the world that hated Obama. I'm so glad to see the younger generation with some sense to make up their mind what they thought about a politician. Obama scares me. This whole Obamania cult thing is just plan creepy. All those weirdos celebrating in the street had glazed looks in their eyes. Does anyone else here think something strange about all this. I don't care how historical this moment is. He's human like us, not god!!!!
ughhh really?
fuck obama
he hasn't been in office for a week and I already hate him
Re: chrissygirl – All those weirdos celebrating in the street had glazed looks in their eyes???? Are you serious?
[re=3089431]Re: Kim Hunny
I just want to know how the hell is he going to pay for all this new garbage he has promised everyone. We are broke and can't even afford Social Insecurity but this guy is talking about nationalizing healthcare. Pie in the sky, people.
I have a fewer all right - Obama makes me sick!
Re: PunkyBrewstein – That's a tad cynical. Honestly, we do not need to start assassinating American presidents in this nation. I did not vote for Obama(or McCain) but I would never support the idea of an assassination. For better or worse Obama was somewhat legitimately elected(ACORN and the MSM be damned)and is therefore our president and should be accorded the respect of the office of the presidency(unlike all the blatant hatred and lack of respect for W the progressives/communists could muster). But the moment Obama proves he is unfit for the office then all bets are off and everything that goes wrong will be: "Obama's Fault!" "Obama's Fault!" "Obama's Fault!" "Obama's Fault!" "Obama's Fault!"
And most of you can't say your not racist,
you know you are. Re: lalalaalindsey –
Kind of like everyone who voted for Obama based on the color of his skin and not on the content of his character.
People are soooooooooooooo stupid.
Re: lalalaalindsey – He's not president yet. He's the president elect. Oh, and how do you know most people are racist? You don't. You just say shit as if it's fact.
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME!!!!!! I'm so glad to hear that other folks from my my generation isn't falling this Obama crap. The media thinks young folks are stupid and they can influence our vote. Am I the only one here that thinks this Obamania thing is freakin creepy or what? He's human not god!! This whole thing seems very communist to me. Obama scares the crap out of me and people who voted for this nobody before this election are going to regret it. Mark my words you brain washed morons.
Re: LusciousLiz – I live the damn S.F. Bay and I live and work around these Obamabots. They were all in a eurphoric state the day after. I'm telling you they have a glazed look. Try visiting San Francisco and you will see Hippies are freaky.
You really think he is a muslim? You have just shown your ignorance. Wow, I feel sorry for you.
Re: Mipplicious – Seriously, you and I are in the same boat…. My husband and I are trying to figure out what the hell I'm going to do… Assuming that he stays in office and puts his bill for the Medical Field into play, eventually I am out of a job also!!
Re: Sassy Girl – Let me say this…. My son went to school and they were talking about the elections…. This little boy asked my son, "Who did your mom vote for?" My son said "McCain"…. And do you know what that little boy asked him?…. "Why? Is she a racist?"…… Now I'm a racist because I think his plans are BS and he's going to put me out of a job? Talk about Hype-voters!
Re: Plumeriagirl – Ok, cut the bull shit and go to his politics… Quite frankly, before he was elected…. I didn't give a shit about his books, I didn't give a shit that he may or may not be muslim, and right now I don't give a shit that your husband went to school with him…. I actually read his plans for our future from his camapaign page, and let me tell you what…. It is going to be very interesting because I already know in his 4 years in office, I am going to lose my job, just as is any other American whose career revolves around Medical records, and with his new "Spread the Wealth" my father is more than likely not going to be able to keep his house… No he did not overspend, but with Obama's plan he is now going to be in a higher tax bracket…….. God Bless America, we are going down the shitter
I do NOT have Obama fever. I wish him well but it'll be an impossible task and politically, he's just a rookie.
everyone is reading that book now after election…alot of people who voted for him are gonna be like DOH!!! opppps!! should have read this before the election me thinks…
I do NOT have Obama fever. I wish him well but it'll be an impossible task and politically, he's just a rookie. Re: sparkys nemesis –
The real power is in Congress. The Presidency is ultimately just a figurehead.
Re: LusciousLiz –
1) Thanks for reposting my post!
2) Your question WAS idiotic, yet you call it "truth"
3) After reading your other comments to people…you seem to be a bitter,
miserable bitch who wishes ill-will on others and is totally moronic
I can't stand idiots like you…don't comment me again because any association with you is REVOLTING!
All I have to say is the people have spoken… and ummmm well… they DEFINATELY have the Obama FEVER!!!! I am proud to say as a first time voter my vote counted. Obama I effin love you!!! Feel free to disagree. I am up for a debate…
Larin
Does anybody else think of that episode of south park from a couple years back when they hear all the obama freaks saying CHHHAANNGEEE! You know, the one where all the homeless invaded saying change.. change.. change…Kinda ironic all the people looking for handouts yelling CHANNNNNGGGEEE!!
He has no idea what in the heck he's doing, and that's why people are rushing around trying to "find out more about him!" He can talk a good game, but that's all! The people have elected this president only because he's black. And newsflash America,…He's only half black! This president is a shameful joke!!!!
Now people want to learn about him? lol I wonder if they'll still feel the same after reading his books.
I sure don't have Obama fever
Re: jaysun82 –
I know. And when someone exposes his aunt illegally living here (in public housing no less) They want to find out the source and punish them. Does everyone see where this is going???
Re: Ok….And?? – .
and people care what you have to say?
Re: Cottonquinn –
Beautifully said! I am soooo sick of the race crap being thrown around by the most racist of all.
Ummm, yeah. Reading these books might have been the prudent thing to do BEFORE the election. I know I did.
Re: Obama is change!!! –
First of all, it's "definitely."
Fisrt time voters is what got this man elected. Can I ask, why did you vote for him? (other than there was an empty seat on that bandwagon)
Not "everyone" has Obama fever. Reminds me of bunch of mindless cult followers. You people don't know anything about him yet. Get to know him first, then you can fall in love. I'll give him a chance, but the jury's still out…
Re: boiledchimp – #154
–
Well one thing we all know about Obama, courtesy of one of his staffers, is that he will be ready to "take power" and "rule" (RULE?!?!?) on day one.
–
I was under the mistaken impression that American presidents "serve" or "govern". Shows you what I know.
–
Based upon what I read in these threads, I can't imagine most here have an intelligence level high enough to read a book, let alone the ability to comprehend what they read. That's why Obama's name was the first selection on the general election ballot. It made it much easier for the uneducated and misinformed to vote because they didn't have to read.
TOO BAD THE STOCK MARKET IS TANKING….
Re: richiephx – Actually McCain was first.
Re: richiephx –
Ah, yes. The sole intellectual of this board has spoken. I guess it's easier for you to be condescending and judge the intellect of the readers on a gossip board, rather than put your money where your mouth is and come up with something even remotely clever or profound.
Re: Plumeriagirl – No, we just asked 50 Cent what he thought. He's the master after all. Your still a moron, and you are still talking out of your ass.
Re: Plumeriagirl – Oh, and by the way. I'm not a Republican. I'm WAY to Conservative for the modern Republican Party.
The one thing I know for sure is that if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a damn duck. No matter if it tries to tell you it's a moose.
Re: Cottonquinn – Look, it's a joke, ok? Tacky and vulgar and horrible, yeah, it is. But it's still a joke. No need to get all dramatic about it. And some of us are having a hard time mustering up any kind of respect. This respect may have to actually be earned this time. Imagine that, someone having to earn respect, not having it handed to them just because. That's my personal take on it anyways….
Re: Leah – Hahaha thanks! Right back at ya!
Re: lizzybird – Not as sorry as you're going to feel. Don't say when didn't warn you.
Re: lissygirl2 – Oh, I know it! My 5 year old's k class had a little "vote" of their own. She came home and informed me that the "donkey's" won. And that meant that Obama was going to win. And she knew ALL SORTS of crap about Obama, and had NO CLUE who McCain was. It was unbelievable to me. We had a nice little chat after that, I'll tell you. I don't know what has happened to people. My sis in law is Venezualan, and we've been comparing notes Obama/Chavez. She's scared shitless now, it's creepy, and way to long to post here, but I don't think we are headed down a road we really want to be on…..
Re: Sassy Girl –
Your sister is right to be concerned. Why are guns sells suddenly up, some people are aware of what Obama might have in store.
Re: devil_dawg_wife – LOL bless you, military wife - I feel your pain as I blog from downrange
Re: Sassy Girl – …the remaining peroxide gets flushed down the drain when you're done frying your hair. Don't snort it.
Re: kjen – I'll tell you what, I have never been this nervous about any man in any office. She was telling me how Hugo Chavez, when first elected, was "the man". All the young folks flocked to him. It was like he was the Messiah. (sound familiar) And there were other folks that said hey, something's off here. This guy, he may not have the best of intentions. This guy may end up abusing his power in some way. Gosh, it sure seems like this is going to end up some kind of dictatorship or something else we just don't want. Well, we all know how that has gone. And she tells me that people in this country are always saying "why do ya'll keep voting him into office then?" She says WE DON'T!! The system is corrupt, it doesn't matter what the votes say. He is in control, it's all twisted and messed up, and furthermore, if private citizens, the media, ANYONE speaks out against Chavez, YOU WILL BE KILLED. She is REALLY freaking out, she told me this is just all looking way too familiar. It scared the shit out of me even more, I'm telling you right now. What has happened to people in this great country, I don't know. I PRAY TO GOD I AM WRONG!!!!!!!! For once, I would LOVE to be wrong…..
Re: Lick_my_Icing – Save your soppy sentiment for your GOP condolence letters. Then go lick your wounds.
Re: devil_dawg_wife – great mimes stink alike. Go on and lick that icing then.
Re: PunkyBrewstein – that's right. turn him into a real martyr.
Re: WhowouldJackiedo – Oh gosh. That hurt me. Really. I don't know if I can get through the day now, oh my, a lib has been mean to me!!!!!!!!!! WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I think I shall retreat to the corner, curl up into a ball and cry myself to sleep.
I love my hair douchebag. So do the boys. And you're probably just jealous anyways. So piss off, k?
Re: WhowouldJackiedo – And it's not fried. I use really good products
I'm from Canada. What the F***, it took you guys killing millions of people directly and indirectly around the world and screwing up your economy and the world's economy, to finally elect a Democrat. Now you all expect him to be your savior! I give this 6 months and the honeymoon will be over!
Re: boiledchimp – Right. And the mass GOP circle-jerk that represented Palin's exploding on your scene was…sane? But from pop-star stat
us she's been relegated to whipping-boy. No only did the republicans prove themselves to be equally star-struck, you're astonishingly sore losers as well…At least we're consistent in our "hero worship"…our man's in office.
Re: Sassy Girl – go fuck a duck.
Of all the places I have been shocked that in my opinion most on here are against Hussein Obama. Who the heck elected him? Why? I just dont get it. Its the suicide of this country. Anyone know how hard it would be to get a work visa to Australia? LOL
Re: Sassy Girl – Not sure how you're processing your scalp, but your cleavage is boobylicious. Come on over to our side, girl, we'll give you J-Zay ring tones for your phone and a free make-over
Re: WhowouldJackiedo – Now why would I go and do that? And please remember, when you are on here trying to upset and hurt the feelings of all the Right Wing Conservatives on here, we DON'T HAVE feelings, remember? We are heartless and selfish. So go piss up a different tree. And don't bother responding, as I won't be responding to your uneducated 5th grade nonsense again. Now move along, move along.
Re: Sassy Girl – Hold your fire, dearest. We can scratch n snarl some more in the next room….
Re: Antoinette64 – You know what americans think about canada? WE DON'T…. So STFU please…
Re: charmoll – Charmoll, just move to Texas, hon, that's where all the anti-Hussein types are blogging from. Sassy's hair salon is hiring…..
Just goes to show that demoncRATs will buy garbage just to inflate sales so their Messiah can get some more publicity. Messiah Dumbama. Nice ring to it!
Re: god_quit_being_a_sheep – That is just the ignorant person that you are. Canada is the silent giant. We own close to 25% of the fresh water, the most of any other country, we are your #1 supplier of oil and we also supply you hydro electric power. Their is too much to write about Canada's greatness!!! Canada is quiet and naturally powerful, you stupid person! I bet you haven't even been here and what do you know!
Re: Antoinette64 – Also could you canadians PLEASE take back Pamela Anderson? Shes just embarassing herself here
Should have read the books before they elected him!
I was very proud of a friend of mine the other day, because he spoke like an American should! He said, "Even though I did not vote for him, I will support our President." I felt the same way 4 years ago when Bush won again. It shouldn't matter what you think - he was elected to be our President, and as Americans you should support him. Everyone here that is spewing hate, and rumors as facts, should be ashamed of themselves. Those without sin cast the first stone.
Here's my question…if he is 1/2 white and 1/2 black…how does that make him the first black president??? isn't he just another white president. how come we are only acknowledging his black side? if he moved to an all black neighborhood as a kid, he would have gotten his ass kicked daily for being white, but now all of a sudden he is black. just stupid.
Re: god_quit_being_a_sheep –
Ha! ha! There are a lot of Canadians there in the U.S. and I am in Montreal, quite an interesting and beautiful city filled with many Americans living here who really enjoy it, actually!
We watched you guys from up here impatiently, reelecting a murderer and someone that was obvious to us, knew nothing about economics for a second term and we were wondering how much damage he could have still done, and boy, did Bush ever do even more!
Re: WhowouldJackiedo – You're so pathetic… Enjoy your miserable, lonely life! Oh, and go fuck a donkey

Hi Sassy, Devil_Dawg_wife
Re: loribaby1 –
Well let's take the "how black is he?" test. A half-black person runs for President, yet he's not really black. A half-black man wants to date your white daughter. How Black is he now? I hate to break it to you, but when someone with Obama's features enters a room full of people, in this society, people are going to assume and label him Black…no questions asked. It's funny that in 2008, we get a Black president with half-white ancestry, and all of a sudden people want to start redefining ethnicity, when for years people of mixed race have been trying to fight for their own identity.
Re: Antoinette64 – You didn't answer my question about Pammy.. I think you're being a tad bit dramatic about bush.. My husband is in the military and he hasn't killed anybody while on his deployments and the people who have been killed my our service men and women had it coming.. They are terrorists HEY remember 911 MUCH? Or do you think taking out saddam (who by the way killed thousands of his own people) was murder? We didn't hang him by the way his own people did. Just because canada stands by and watches us take care of the worlds problems doesn't mean you get an opinion in our election. You are just "watching" after all.
Re: Lick_my_Icing – LOL…I actually have many friends on this site and I will comment you and anyone else I want to, whenever I want to, since this is a free country and I can….the only posters I have ever said anything "ill-willed" to are the ones who judge others, make racist comments or are just plain stupid such as yourself….go hug a tree babe…
Re: Lick_my_Icing – Hello there!
Re: god_quit_being_a_sheep –
"Just because canada stands by and watches us take care of the worlds problems doesn't mean you get an opinion in our election. You are just "watching" after all."
They have every right to express their opinion on our affairs. Do you really think the U.S. is a self-contained economy?
Re: god_quit_being_a_sheep – Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you. And thanks to the hubby as well, some of us here still appreciate what he's doing, as well as the sacrifices made by you and your family. We're grateful
Re: WhowouldJackiedo – **Re SassyGirl***That's not nice…she's a cutie how can you attack her looks?
Yes, we are watching. We are also the "land of the free" in certain ways more free than the U.S.
Canada is laid back, gentle, and we just want PEACE.
This is why you don't hear much about us but I suggest for you and all Americans to come take a look and you will be surprised and shocked about what we have here!
About Pamela Anderson, she came here to Montreal last summer for "The Grand Prix" and she didn't handle herself very well, all the press were mad at her! There are many Canadians in Hollywood! Some are really good.
Re: Jodman – NO SIR. That is NOT how it should be. Our country is GREAT BECAUSE we can speak our minds. And we SHOULD question our leaders. We WILL hold them accountable. They are here to SERVE US. Dare I say what happens when a people bow down and speak no more. My gosh, what are you thinking? Are you from Canada or something?
