Author throws his book at Obama-How long before he and his book end up on Oprah?
In an unwise self-publicity move, an unidentified author threw his new paperback book at President Barack Obama during a political rally in Philadelphia. The incident happened at Philadelphia’s Vernon Park where Obama spoke over the weekend.

4. Absolutely should've thrown the book at Bush.
Treason. Warmongering. Mass Murder. Lying to Congress. Criminal Dereliction of Duty. Fraud. Theft. Corruption.

But, he did tell the truth to the 9-11 Commission. ( :sarcasm: )
