Obama’s Reading List Includes Book He Bragged About Having Read

Apparently Barack Obama has a short-term memory. The New York Post finds that Barack Obama has already bragged about reading one of the books the Obama Administration claims he will now read during his summer vacation.

Looks like President Obama is one slow reader.

The commander in chief’s list of beach books for his Martha’s Vineyard vacation includes an environmental best seller that he bragged about reading almost a year ago on the campaign trail.

Obama was so taken with Thomas Friedman’s “Hot, Flat and Crowded” that he quoted it at a rally last September in Flint, Mich., and one media outlet described it as the book that was currently on the then-candidate’s nightstand.

The 448-page book appeared again on Monday on the list of five books that Obama planned to read on his vacation in Martha’s Vineyard.

The mainstream media tells us that Barack Obama is an intellectual president the likes of which we haven’t seen in quite some time. So why is he still reading books he bragged about having read about a year ago?
