Topping today’s best-seller list of self help books is President Obama's autobiography entitled "How to become the First Black President of America". Many would guess young Afro-Americans everywhere were flocking to the stands to grab a copy. Surprisingly, sales have been higher among Asian, Hispanic, Mormon and Feminine minority groups. The wiser sharks of the publishing world say that these are the only ones who actually can be the first of their kind in the oval office – unlike Afro Americans who’ve now been there, done that and bought the Presidential suit.
Obama's press spokesperson, Patholiar Schitzersonian, earlier dismissed claims that the President would be addressing any controversial issues in his book. To a question from a particularly unpleasant journalist, he responded "Of course Obama will not be explaining why his rule feels no different than the white man's and no - Bush did not just get a tan!"
Contrary to what University Professors are claiming, this book is not the most narcissistic manuscript ever set to paper. It even features the odd sprinkle of spice and Camp David Fireside gossip. In Chapter nine - entitled "Kill the Most Wanted Man of your Time" - on page eleven of the book, Obama clearly stresses the importance of ensuring that the ‘target’ never makes it to trial alive. These and other quaint Machiavellian footnotes make it a very enjoyable read for any potential aspirant to world domination.
President Obama’s book has now far outstripped the sales of the next best contender in its league, Condoleeza Rice’s “How to be the first Black Sell Out of America.”
The self help books saturating the market now have represented a worrying trend to many thinkers in our midst. They rightly see it as an indication that people are getting too stupid to figure anything out on their own. On a more uplifting note nevertheless, optimistic seers predict that if more politicians turn into authors, the world might actually become a nice place to live in.
