That is the standard answer (from the left) when you catch photo proof. Or is it the standard when the right catches Photo shopping as in 9-11 conspirators films? Doesn't matter what he reads any way. If I got paid millions to sit on my butt all day riding in a jet I would read my enemies books and my allies to learn, gain insight, etc. Maybe he is trying to gleen(spelling?) from it why the muslims believe he is the Messiah and Bin Laden is the Caffe(spelling).

OK--

1. Snopes is your friend. Use it every time you get an email forwarded to you and a hundred other people with some sort of shocking info. It can either bolster your case or keep you from looking like a doofus.

2. The photo is real and not photoshopped.

3. The book is not necessarily as described in the email that you got. Please see below.

Linkie: snopes.com: What Does Obama Read?

Snippet:

"...The following review (from Publishers Weekly) summarizes the thesis of The Post-American World:

When a book proclaims that it is not about the decline of America but the rise of everyone else, readers might expect another diatribe about our dismal post-9/11 world.

They are in for a pleasant surprise as Newsweek editor and popular pundit Zakaria (The Future of Freedom) delivers a stimulating, largely optimistic forecast of where the 21st century is heading. We are living in a peaceful era, he maintains; world violence peaked around 1990 and has plummeted to a record low. Burgeoning prosperity has spread to the developing world, raising standards of living in Brazil, India, China and Indonesia.

Twenty years ago China discarded Soviet economics but not its politics, leading to a wildly effective, top-down, scorched-earth boom. Its political antithesis, India, also prospers while remaining a chaotic, inefficient democracy, as Indian elected officials are (generally) loathe to use the brutally efficient tactics that are the staple of Chinese governance. Paradoxically, India's greatest asset is its relative stability in the region; its officials take an unruly population for granted, while dissent produces paranoia in Chinese leaders.

Zakaria predicts that despite its record of recent blunders at home and abroad, America will stay strong, buoyed by a stellar educational system and the influx of young immigrants, who give the U.S. a more youthful demographic than Europe and much of Asia whose workers support an increasing population of unproductive elderly. A lucid, thought-provoking appraisal of world affairs, this book will engage readers on both sides of the political spectrum..."

Not worried. We are all entitled to read whatever we want - unless we are only allowed to read approved books. I've read excerpts of the Bible; doing so doesn't make me a Christian. But it did educate me.
