This is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to write them really well since Lincoln.

Did Lincoln write any books? I don't think so. He did, of course, write some truly great speeches and letters.

2 Where am I?  Who are you?

3 These goddamn nitwits, finding new and ever-more-stupid ways of praising lazy-ass President Golf.

Assuming he ever has written a book, Of*ckface hasn't written a book since becoming President, so, no, he's not the "most powerful writer since Julius Caesar".

4 BTW, what are "loan nuts"? ACORN people?

Obama:  Wanna whacka wookie.

Most people use the term "powerful writer" to refer to the power of a writer's words, e.g.,"Hemingway was a powerful writer."

This fellow seems to be saying that a powerful writer is a writer who wields political power.

It's certainly a different spin.

Wouldn't Chairman Mao be an even more powerful writer? He wrote the "Little Red Book," after all. And as an absolute dictator, he had more power than Obama.

What about Hitler? "Mein Kampf" was a bestseller.

I don't think Landesman has thought this through.

16 My ass still has bruises, from Obama's balls, as he pounded my ass one night. Made my nose bleed, too.

17 You know why Obama isn't on Mount Rushmore?  He'd make the others look bad by comparison.

18 He doesn't hold a candle to me.

Fiction, then.

29 Yo, Rocco, im happy for you and imma let you finish, but Rachel Maddow is the best Obama ass-kissing media stooge of the year.

30 That man still hasn't produced a book.  He's 145 years past the deadline.  I have half a mind to ask him to return the advance.

31

If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world,

Gee, this is going out on a limb.  Our power, however, is dissipating daily under the direction of The Precedent and the feral government.

then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar.

Err ... uh ... hmmmm ... Is this artsy logic?  Or maybe this is that newfangled empathetic logic that we are about to be treated to on the SCOTUS?  And don't let the two very different meanings of "powerful", in these contexts, get in your way, here. 

This excerpt is all kinds of stupid.  Maybe he had Teacups Grayson write this for him?  It has a real Grayson ring to it.

32 I want to be a loan wolf

33 Obama wrote 2 books about HIMSELF

The publisher wanted a coffee table book with "tasteful" pictures of the Wookie.  I think you guys dodged a bullet when I wrote about myself instead.

34

Julius Caesar wrote a book ... they had books?  I thought they had scrolls?

Books can be scrolls. The type of book we use today is called a codex, and it was invented shortly afer Caesar's time, but books had been around much longer, in the form of scrolls and tablets.

Caesar wrote, or was credited with writing, "The Gallic Wars" and "The Civil War."

"The Gallic Wars" is fanous for its opening line: "All Gaul is divided into three parts ..."

 

35 I don't think Landesman has thought this through.

Well, that would take, ya know, actually...thinking.

52 This asshole is comparing "How I conquered Europe" to "How my Kenyan scumbag father abandoned me and my marxist slut mom". Fascinating.

66

This moron apparently has never even heard of Grant's Memoirs, still considered to be one of the great classics of American Literature, and one of the alltime bestsellers of the late 19th century.

Like the previous poster said, Lincoln never wrote any books.

In that way, I suppose Obama has followed in his footsteps after all.

69 @15
I had just heard this on Beck, who originally implied it was "best" writer", which is just crazy. But "most powerful"? Sure Hitler and Mao have him beat. They sold better too. But aside from that, (and the question of real authorship) it's not an absurd statement

70

What this really boils down to is the inability of these mental midgets to distinguish reality from perception. 

I'm sure that Obama really is the writer who has most influenced this guy.  And he probably only hangs out with people at least as left-leaning as him (like most leftists).  So most of his friends probably think so too.  In other words, in his little bubble, Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar.

Of course, in the real world, that idea is ludicrous.  Which is why this quote will be played without commentary on many mediums and be hugely damning to yet another of Obama's choices for leadership.

For this nitwit, the world is as simple as what he perceives in the little leftist bubble that he lives in.

79 Yet more hyperbolic nincompoopery....

80 This moron apparently has never even heard of Grant's Memoirs, still considered to be one of the great classics of American Literature, and one of the alltime bestsellers of the late 19th century.

It's amazing how many people know fuckall about history, yet speak and write as though they did. I am continually amazed and irritated at it. Last night in my rhetoric class we read a gentleman criticizing the Gettysburg Address for claiming that a nation was created in 1776, when what really happened was 13 states declared independence and <b>a war began</b>.

Because, you know Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, the Siege of Boston, the formation of the Continental Army, these things didn't happen in the year prior to 1776 or anything.

His arguments grow worse from there.

81 Odd, I use to say the exact same thing about my boss.  Of course, now that I am retired, he's an idiot and always has been.

82 Well, dammit, couldn't they have given him a double-Nobel this year?  Because his poetry is very moving.

87 It's nice to see that the ancient custom, of an ambitious scholar writing a panegyric to a reigning despot in hopes of receiving patronage, has managed to survive to the 21st century.

88 Peaches, his "poetry" is just memorable in a bad way, isn't it? haha

**someone dig up the old Obama poetry thread**
...good times

89 Et tu, Boo-Tay??

90 Why didn't I think of this line?

91 Grant's Personal Memoirs are a  masterpiece, and have earned justified comparison to The Gallic Wars.  And, unlike the Barack the Boy King, Grant waited to write his memoirs until he actually had something to write about.

Wilson had an earned PhD in History and Political Science from Johns Hopkins and wrote extensively about the legislative process, despite being a dyslexic who didn't learn to read until he was 10 years old.

Coolidge, whose autobiography is usually considered very good, was a very good amateur classicist and a translator of Dante.  He also is the last president to write all of his own speeches.

Taft was second in his class at Yale, Phi Beta Kappa, and had a first rate legal mind.

Hoover (whose pre-presidential accomplishments are lengthy and impressive) produced what is still the standard translation of Agricola's De re metallica.

In terms of presidential intellect, Barack is definitely in the bottom quarter (if not worse). In terms of personal pre-presidency accomplishment he's in the bottom five, roughly equivalent to party-machine appartchiks like Grover Cleveland, Millard Fillmore and Chester Arthur. 

92 I'm mostly impressed by the implicit admission that jfk won a Pulitzer for book he didn't write.

93 rocco will love palin's writings.

94 The head of the NEA issues a statement with grammatical errors in it.  LOL

95 Art doesn't need grammar.  Plus, grammar is raaaaacist.

96

I thought the reason the Kenyan usurper wasn't on Mount Rushmore was even if sculptor Gutzon Borglum came back from the dead, he couldn't find a way to make the terrain work to hold up those Dumbo ears that Obumbles the Clown has.

 

Besides, Borglum was a member of the Klan, so he wouldn't want to do an Obama statue anyway.

97

Please go to our webpage for our special feature, 'Your NEA: How We Is Educating Your Children Gooder Than Ever!"

 

98 I'm mostly impressed by the implicit admission that jfk won a Pulitzer for book he didn't write.

Yeah, isn't that great? Why his Pulitzer isn't revoked (or given to Kennedy sycophant Pierre Salinger, who did the actual writing) is beyond me. But hey, at least Jack Kennedy's book is about something else other than Jack Kennedy, who was, as we all know, merely a minimally qualified son-of-privilege senator from Massachusetts.

99 Grant's memoirs are a significant achievement, especially given that he basically took to writing them out of desperation. He was at that point in his life in ill health and almost broke; he wrote his memoirs for the money. He barely finished before he died. It was in part because of this that US Presidents began to receive a lifetime pension after leaving office -- it was considered embarassing to have a previous US head of state languishing in penury.

U. S. Grant was a bad President but a good man and a superb general. He allowed a lot of graft and corruption in his Administration but never took a dime himself so far as anyone knows. I've always suspected that he took the job of President mainly because he didn't know what else to do with himself. He was a man of war, much as Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson ("Old Blue-Light") were. He was at his best leading men in battle. He was not a man made for peace-time. There is much to admire in Grant the man, however short he may have fallen as President.

100 If you've ever translated any of Caesar's writings (or any Latin, for that matter), this is even stupider. The grasp of language to command the multiple subtleties while confined to strict meter requirements . . . good lord. I can't even begin to describe just how good these guys were here.

And that's why this jackass will get away with it, because 99% of the population is just so damned ignorant about true art and talent--because of jackasses like him.

This nitwit in the WH wouldn't even qualify to write copy for free blow-jobs at the immigrant brothel.

This is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to write them really well since Lincoln.

So he's admitting that JFK didn't write Profiles in Courage, and that it was ghostwritten by a bunch of left-wing profs paid off by Joe?

The statement is stupid regardless.  Teddy didn't write his works really well?  Really?  He wrote two major works on completely different subjects that were considered definitive for decades (in fact, The Naval War of 1812 is still considered a must-read for military historians, and is part of Naval shipboard libraries to this day), and his CV makes Obama look like a 5th-grader.

103 The adoration is breathtaking to behold.  These people are lock, stock & barrel cultists.

104 Oysters or snails?

Hey Ace, go check out Dan Riehl's account on what happened with the selection of Dede Scozzafava for NY-23's seat.

Ugh.

So forever done with those bastards.

106

I don't know, Caesar might  be a good comparison.  Undermined the Republic, founded an alternate center of power (a la this national security force) in Gaul, then crushed the republic led by a wishy washy semi-Republican (Gnaeus Pompey or John McCain), then proceeded to set himself up as dictator for life.

Except Caesar could actually write.  And blame everyone else for anything that went wrong, and most likely took more credit than he deserved.  O wait, that last sentence was just like Bambi.

Really, imho, Cassius and Brutus were the closest things to heroes in the last days of the Republic...all we need to do though (thank goodness we're a constitutional republic) is just win in '10 and '12, not hurt anybody.

107 Haven't read all the comments, so excuse me if I'm repeating what's already been said, but has Landesman ever heard of Woodrow Wilson?  The man was a Ph.D and wrote several important political science books that greatly influenced the Progressive movement.  I'm not a fan of Wilson, but that's sort of a whiff right there.

Oh, and the whole Ayers ghostwriting thing.  And that Obama's books were freaking autobiographies, both written before he had even turned 50. 

108 Oh, and there was that Churchill fella.  Not a US President, but I hear he was kind of important during one of those 20th century wars.  He also happened to write a book or 30, including some major works of history.

109 Is there nothing BHO can't do? President, Nobel winner, now greatest writer evah!!!

In Dante's Inferno, Dante puts Judas, Cassius, and Brutus in the very bottom of Hell where Satan munches down on them for eternity becuase they were traitors.  If I had been Dante, I would've put Caesar there instead of Brutus and Cassius on the grounds that Caesar betrayed the Republic.

112 This man's education failed him. This is what happens when you do not teach critical thinking. Or perhaps he slept through the class. At any rate, this fellow ios a first class idiot.

I absolutely agree.  Grant was no longer with the military despite his West Point eduction, in large part because of his drinking, prior to the Civil War.  He failed in numerous attempts to make a career of anything.  He was working behind the counter in his father's leather goods store, sort the nineteenth century equivalent of being a convenience store clerk, when the war broke out.  The the war came and he became a hero.  As often happens, his greatest strength, his loyalty, was also his greatest weakness.  He wrote his memoirs to provide for his family as he was dying of cancer.  He is kind of a hero of mine in that he stands for the proposition that you don't give in, you keep on fighting.

116 Damn sock!  It was Walrus who wrote favorably of Grant.

Brutus? A hero? Err, what?

"That soul up there which has the greatest pain,
The Master said, is Judas Iscariot;
With head inside, he plies his legs without.
 
Of the two others, who head downward are,
The one who hangs from the black jowl is Brutus;
See how he writhes himself, and speaks no word.
 
And the other, who so stalwart seems, is Cassius.
But night is reascending, and 'tis time
That we depart, for we have seen the whole"

Oh jesustappdancing christ.  Rocco, get up off your knees and wipe your chin...it's Chrissy Matthews turn next.

136 Seriously, we need Obama to be Jimmy Carter's replacement, and in more ways than one.

We need for everyone over the age of 10 to see what "leftism" is and does to society and the economy, and what it does to American prestige in the world.

We need for everyone to see (and some to experience, firsthand, and in great detail) leftism's series of abject failures.

Most of all, we need all those involved in causing the failures to be around for at least another 50+ years.

Carter seemed to have turned to Habitat for Humanity, a reasonably noble cause, as one way to help atone for his inept mistakes.  Then he went insane or something, and got seriously into anti-Jewish propaganda and other, apparently Saudi-funded, whackyness.  He's made quite an impression on most of America as a complete whackjob.  Everyone distances themselves from him, in much the same way as people avoid lepers.

I expect Obama to be worse.  Can Obama go 5 years after leaving the White House without being caught up in a major scandal, involving severe corruption and massive and illegal payoffs? Can he avoid doing time? If he does time, would he be the first ex-president to ever do time? Will he even be in demand as a speaker, at least as much as Bill Clinton?

I expect Rahm to go Freddie in 2011, maybe even late this summer, when things start going wrong for the Democratic candidates.

149 Rocco Landesman, of course, has been claiming that the operatives involved in the NEA-grants-for-Obama-propaganda phone conference were just a few loan nuts having nothing at all to do with him.

You mean to say ACORN employees who normally harrass banks because they're not lending enough money to peeps according to the Community Reinvestment Act??

150 Grant was actually a better president than he's given credit for. Whatever the peccadilloes of certain party hacks in his administration, he had a handful of solid acheivements, to wit:

1) Ku Klux Klan Act -- according to some, Grant broke the Klan in the 1870's, and they weren't able to regroup until after his administration.

2) Restoring the Gold Standard -- Lincoln issued greenbacks like they were going out of style to pay for the war. They hung around during the Johnson years. Grant believed in hard money: in his first year as president he ordered $4 million in govt' Gold assets sold to prevent a couple of sharpers from cornering the gold market, and reduced the amount of paper money in circulation, even during the Panic of 1873. He even got Congress to schedule the withdrawing of greenbacks from circulation by 1879. The country got 20 years of solid growth out of this.

3) Restoring Good Relations with Britain -- the Limeys built a whole slew of privateers, like the Alabama, that decimated our shipping during the war. Afterwards, we wanted compensation from Britain, which they were uninclined to give, and anti-British feeling amongst the triumphant Yankees was strong. Grant got them to agree to binding arbitration via a five-member international panel, and we got a cool $15.5 million out of the deal.

It's only been within the last fifteen years or so that anyone's even looked into what the man actually did as President. He's more or less been the victim of his own distaste for politics.

151 Did Lincoln write any books? I don't think so.

Actually, he wrote a biography of Zachary Taylor. At 62 pages, it isn't exactly Clancy-esque, but it is more than a speech or essay. A lot of the books "by" Lincoln are collections of his speeches, there's even a series of books entitled The Writings of Abraham Lincoln that seems to be merely a collection of anything he signed or otherwised "authored" including notes to Congress as to which officers where getting promotions.

While historically interesting, that would make me want to watch paint dry. You can take a look around Abe's collection at Project Gutenberg.

152 And if Obama is Caesar, does that mean that some day he'll utter:

Et tu, Rahm?

153 I'm actually disappointed at how whatever little inquiry there was into the Ayers ghostwriter idea just died.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that.

Heh.

156 Let's pretend.
ok, Obama, on his own with no help wrote those two books.
He, uh, still wrote two books.
about daddy or something.
Not quite the Middle Europe campaign.

157 late to the party on this one, but I thought his complete misappropriation of Lionel Tiger's book and comparing it to Obama's was the funniest part of the speech.

For the record, Tiger's conclusion about "hope:"

"Private optimism is a public resource. Public optimism is a private facility. Both can and have and will become disasters when there is too little fit between the vision and the facts of heat, cold, up, down, fast, slow, rich, poor, old, young, living, dying. It is dangerous to offer entrée to charlatans expert in illusion and big or little demagogues practiced in worthless promise …"

160 Matthew Mark Luke and John might also disagree as to who the most powerful writers since Julius Caesar were. They did write books with their names on them too. How about the writer of the Federalist Papers, which was also put in a book?
Not a powerful writer? How about Thomas Paine? Not a powerful writer?
What claptrap. If Bush's NEA chief had made such an asinine statement the media would have hooted him/her from office within a trice.
