OUR PRESIDENT ELECT IS READING TWILIGHT.

I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR THE MAN.

At least he reads WITH her? I'm grabbing at straws, but you know, at least he knows what craptastic books are all the rage.

Well, it doesn't say he's *enjoying* it.

Just that he's being a good dad by keeping up on the pop culture his daughter's interested in.

Surely you're kidding. You wouldn't think it strange that his daughter is reading it, would you? Given that she's the target audience? I think it's excellent that he's sharing it with her. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that people shouldn't enjoy it!

DUDE! Parents read all SORTS of crap with their kids! I think he's figured out pretty damn quick how crappy they are :-P He's not stupid...

BTW, check out this article on the Obamas' life in the White House, which states "...Barack wants to remove the plasma TV from the famous Lincoln bedroom. Instead, he wants guests to read."

Uh... I hope he's previewing these before reading them with her, cause from what I've read the last book is not something I would read to a 10 year old.

Maybe they plan to have a serious discussion about the books' shortcomings?
