Printed in a size that easily fits into pocket or purse, the little blue book is comprised of quotations borrowed from the President's speeches and writings. His guiding principles will enlighten the minds of the people and prepare the way for a new era of change.

In order to master the President's ideology, it is essential to study many of the basic concepts over and over again, and it is best to memorize important statements and apply them repeatedly. Learn earnestly and diligently.

Together we can bring about the next great chapter in the American story.

POCKET OBAMA is available at quantity discounts with bulk purchase for premiums, fund-raising, gift purposes and educational or institutional use.

Introducing the Pocket Obama, filled with quotations from President Barack Obama. I prefer to call it "The Little Blue Book..."

What do you think about this "Pocket Obama?" Is this a huge joke on the History Company's part, or was this marketed with the intent of pushing Obama's agenda? I don't know if Obama had anything to do with it himself, so I won't blame him for "The Little Blue Book." Make sure to read the Amazon.com reviews as well.

Some good reviewer comments, there:

I use the pages of this book to scratch my balls. It really does work miracles!

Truly am thankful --this is a bargain---when hyperinflation hits and it costs $30 for a roll of toilet paper---i can be happy knowing that I can use Obama's nuggets of wisdom to wipe my nuggets in the crapper. See I'm going to reduce global warming by helping to recycle the garbage!

I carry a pocket New Testament in which I have replaced every instance of the word "Jesus" with the word "Obama." It took 400 hours of painstaking work with correction fluid, but it was worth it. I recently ripped out Revelations and replaced it with the pages of this sacred, special tome.

I am grateful to the History Company for producing this incredibly useful volume. Often, when evangelizing on behalf of the God-Man, I've been frustrated by a lack of on-hand holy materials. Now, when potential converts ask typical questions such as "what is Barack Obama's plan for my life?", I can now instantly produce the relevant speech or Today Show transcript. In "Pocket Obama" the wisdom of He Whose Face Shines Radiantly is arranged in a convenient alphabetical format, covering all aspects of the Leader's thought. No stone is left unturned as the Divine One condescends to answer our many questions, from the viability of national health insurance to his forgiveness of our sins. Neophytes and those new to Obama Worship would do well to consult this book. Recommended.

I know, I thought the reviews were hilarious. Kiljan Arslan's right on the spot, I think. This may have been created with the intent of capitalizing on Obama's popularity and recent success (election), perhaps also to furthur an agenda or few.

**Kiljan Arslan** · January 29, 2009, 08:15 AM

what do I think other than that its a marketing gimmick for people obsessed with Obama?

(Although it might just be part of you know whos plan)

Hey -- I have a copy of the little red book. Plastic flexible cover and thin paper pages. Quite a bit smaller and thicker than the blue book shown in the OP picture. I even read it on occasion.

Based upon my posts -- my guess is some are surprised or think hmmm?

I know the book is a joke, but if every president had a book of their views they would make sales. Even Bush II would sell well today. Remember the nation is divided with 1/3 for, 1/3 against, and 1/3 do not care or do not know. Those are still big numbers.

This is either an epic troll or a scary omen.

People can't be that clueless, can they?

"You won't be gettin' with anyone any-how..."

*EDIT*- upon further inspection, I believe this to be fake. I have yet to see an actual page from inside the book. Amazon just got tricked.

**Barry Goldwater** · February 02, 2009, 06:33 AM

This is either a brilliant joke or an disturbing glimpse of the future...

**Da Skinna** · January 29, 2009, 10:21 AM

When it becomes mandatory for government officials, Republicans included, and in our schools... yea okay maybe you got point.

**Boer** · January 29, 2009, 11:18 AM

It is just some guy trying to make a few bucks off Obama's coat tails, not a form of propaganda, just like the Obama coins and such.

**Zephyrus** · January 29, 2009, 11:48 AM

TEH LULZ has commenced!

**Kiljan Arslan** · February 02, 2009, 12:42 AM

yes and he lives on the steppes

**danzig** · February 02, 2009, 01:09 AM

If its not a joke I find it very disturbing, guess Ill start to really worry when pictures and statues of Obama start appearing here in NYC. The reviews are hilarious, even the positive ones are sarcastic insults of it

edit: should be noted the company also sales the Obama egg of power http://www.historycompany.com/productdetails.php?p=127
so Im assuming its tongue in cheek stuff but then that children's book that showed how evil elephants were and how nice donkeys were was a real book by a left wing loonie so who knows.

First pages is as follows:

"Change the change of the change of the changing change of the change in this day of great change, changing all the change for the change in all of the change."
