Good that you raise the issue of Obama's (and other candidates') books. A few days ago, I wrote a post (http://tinyurl.com/44cylb) on the language of the Third Reich and the language of the present campaign. and the roles of St. Paul and Dr. Goebbels as the fathers of advertising. Your words above prompt me to write a parallel piece on St. Augustine, Hitler, the presidential election of 1960, and the genre of political autobiographies. I'll give you a shout when the piece appears. S. D. Good that you raise the issue of Obama’s (and other candidates’) books.
